My cats deserve the best
We have 3 house cats and Cats Best describes this litter perfectly, it definitely is the best we have used. Makes life easier too as it can be disposed of by flushing.

Best litter I've ever known
This litter clumps very well, making it relatively economical. It has a pleasant woody scent and almost completely neutralises all the odours a cat leaves behind in the litter box. And since it can be disposed of via the toilet, it really leaves hardly anything to be desired.
The only downside might be the fact that occasionally a few (clean) pellets end up scattered around the flat. They just go into the nearest flowerpot, and that's that.
My cat (European Shorthair), at the age of 17, switched over without any issues.
Anyone who still puts up with that bentonite stuff is, in my opinion, only doing themselves a disservice.

That's it!
After having already tried Cat's Best Ökostreu and being completely convinced, I decided to test Nature Gold. The reason for this was the promise that this litter wouldn’t stick to fur or paws.
And indeed, it delivers on its promise! Only very rarely does a tiny crumb end up outside the litter box, but it’s really minimal. The litter smells neutral and absorbs liquid very well. What bothers me just a little is that many pellets are bound together per clump, and the litter consumption for two cats is relatively high. But I can live with that. Considering that the clumps can simply be disposed of in the toilet and there’s no longer a beach-like feeling in the flat, 5 stars are absolutely deserved.

Absolutely unsuitable.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this cat litter.
To start with, it’s not even litter but pellets. You’d be better off using it for heating rather than putting it in the cat toilet... my cats (two domestic cats) don’t like it at all.
It’s nothing like regular litter; there’s no scratching, and the leftovers aren’t covered anymore.
When removing it, it crumbles easily—if it even binds and holds everything at all.
When purchasing this product, I also opted for Porta Pine. I’ll continue using that instead.

Simply brilliant
Easy to clean, no smell, and the litter doesn’t get tracked out much! I can only recommend it!

Simply brilliant
I have a British Shorthair and a Ragdoll who share a litter box. With other types of litter, I was always annoyed that my cats would scatter it all over the flat. With this litter, only a few crumbs end up right in front of the box. Additionally, the dust from other types of litter was sometimes extreme, settling on furniture and surfaces throughout the bathroom. Over time, this litter does break down a bit, forming small particles and dust, but by then it’s usually time for a complete litter change anyway. Until that point, the odour control is quite good, and the clumping is decent.
At first, I found the "sawmill" smell a bit off-putting, but it’s not that strong – better than baby powder, right? Initially, this litter doesn’t seem very economical because the larger pieces form fairly big clumps that you end up discarding. However, as the litter gets smaller with use, it becomes more economical again. That’s the trade-off with this litter – a bit more consumption in exchange for not having litter scattered all over the flat. Compared to other high-quality litters, I think the overall usage time until a full replacement is roughly the same.
One thing worth highlighting is the composition of the litter: pure plant fibres, making it compostable and biodegradable. Plus, it can be disposed of via the regular household toilet.
The price could certainly be a bit lower. At least there are now 20-litre bags available, which offer a small price advantage.
All in all – a highly recommended litter.

Very practical
The litter is great for my two Persian mix cats. They don’t drag the litter all around the flat anymore, and it’s really convenient that you can flush everything down the toilet. Plus, the litter doesn’t start to smell as quickly as conventional hygiene litter.

I would absolutely love it ... but my cats won’t set a single paw inside :(
When my neighbour brought me an info leaflet about Cat's Best Nature Gold from a trade fair in spring, I got curious and immediately ordered a pack.
Luckily, I only filled one of the two litter boxes with it!
I liked it straight away: no dust, a wonderful wood scent, and it probably doesn’t spread across the floor as quickly either...
But my two little darlings only occasionally cast a very sceptical glance at the litter box, cautiously placed one paw inside, and quickly (uncertain?) withdrew again.
Such a shame :(
Maybe it’s too unfamiliar for indoor cats who don’t know nature (?)

More than five stars!
The litter is absolutely brilliant: extremely economical, no lung-damaging dust when scratching, naturally smells like wood, no chemicals, no disgusting perfume scents (baby powder scent is all the rage right now; but seriously: WHICH CAT WOULD WILLINGLY WANT SUCH NONSENSE?), and it can be completely disposed of in the toilet. My two Maine Coons love it! And so do I: no nasty fine dust in the flat, and no tiny crumbs either; the few pellets that get carried out are easy to spot on the floor due to their size and can be quickly picked up by hand.
And unlike all other eco-litters, it clumps absolutely brilliantly. I've tried many different litters; nothing else will ever come into my home again!
Tip:
You need a litter scoop with large gaps.

No other litter
Tried several cat litters over the past year. I'm very satisfied with this one! I have three furry friends and two litter boxes, which are cleaned twice a day. There's absolutely no cat smell in the flat, and it doesn't produce nearly as much dust as Cat's Best Öko Plus. Plus, it doesn't get scattered all over the flat. Sure, there are a few crumbs in front of the litter box that the cats track out, but otherwise, TOP.

Brilliant
I previously used Cats Best Öko Plus, which wasn’t bad either. However, it was very dusty, and the litter ended up scattered all over the flat. Then I tried Best Nature. I had to buy it elsewhere because it was out of stock in the shop. I was a bit worried that the cats wouldn’t use it because of the pellet structure. But all my worries were for nothing. They took to the litter really well, it clumps brilliantly and mostly stays in the tray. It’s not dusty at all. The whole family is thrilled. I’m definitely sticking with it.

tried them all.
I have tried every litter that's made, including one that changes color if your cat is ill. Very very expensive. I have 9 cats of my own, 2 of which are house cats, plus i foster mums and their kittens usually 5 or more at a time, one family after another. This is definitely the best. Its easy to remove and pop it straight down the toilet. The smell is absorbed pretty well too. I just wish that you would not run out without giving us warning, as you are one of the few sites that does this product.

Easily the best
I have two cats at the moment and have tried virtually every type of cat litter over 50 years of owning cats. This is without doubt the best I have ever known. I use an enclosed litter tray and have a litter trap at the entrance which minimises any tracking. There is no smell it clumps amazingly and the litter, if regularly attended to, I do it at least twice a day, never needs changing as the clumps are easily removed in a single scoop and work best if you have deep enough litter. The surrounding litter remains absolutely dry. My tray is 8 inches deep and I fill it with at least two to three inches deep of litter. The only thing I do from time to time is sieve out the powder that eventually forms and wash the tray returning the sieved granules back to the tray. This makes it incredibly economical in use despite its initial cost as there is no wastage other than the clumps which are thrown away as a near solid lump.

Dust is completely normal with natural plant fibres!
We’ve been using this litter for our two tomcats for over a year now and are still very satisfied. Previously, we tested other plant-based litters, including pine and the basic Cats Best. However, all of them started to produce a lot of dust right from the beginning and spread throughout the entire flat. Switching to this litter was no problem at all, and it was used immediately without any complaints. The urine is absorbed well, and if you don’t dispose of the clumps straight away but wait at least 30 minutes, they don’t fall apart. Initially, we thought the consumption would be high due to the large clumps, but that’s not the case. The plant fibres simply absorb a lot and almost double in volume. It’s a different story with faeces, of course. Both of our cats bury it, but you can still smell it immediately when it’s fresh (they’re pure carnivores). However, if the faeces have been buried in the litter box for a while, the smell isn’t noticeable straight away.
Regarding consumption: We clean the litter box several times a day, and every four weeks, the entire litter is disposed of and replaced. For two tomcats and a jumbo litter box, we need 20 litres for the initial fill and then another 10 litres until the next complete replacement.
As for the dust issue, you just have to be realistic and accept that plant fibres will break down when they’re constantly scratched and dug into – it’s unavoidable. If you want something natural for your cats, you’ll have to live with it. However, we’ve also noticed that the dust settles to the side in our litter box and can easily be removed with a scoop in between cleanings.

From Friend to Foe
For years and after a long search, this litter was our salvation. We have a semi-long-haired cat who loves to get her paws wet. But lately, we've had nothing but trouble with this litter: On the one hand, the clumps are no longer as stable as they used to be, making daily cleaning of the toilet more laborious. On the other hand, the once convenient disposal has become a hassle, as the clumps suddenly no longer dissolve properly in the toilet and can't be flushed away, yet they're still too large for the Litter Locker. After just a few days, the litter starts to break down into fine shavings, which accumulate more and more in the toilet as we use up a pack. This has led to increased dust formation, more litter being carried out of the toilet, and now, after urinating, softened litter sticks to our cat's bottom, which gets spread throughout the house and ingested by the cat. The odour control isn't what it used to be either. Conclusion: The advantages once outweighed the disadvantages, but now the disadvantages prevail.

Best Cat Litter Available
Living on the Isle of Man, the choice of shops & therefore products is limited. I have tried loads of different brands of cat litter & although I have to order Cats Best Litter online it is still the best litter available. It does what it says on the packet - odour control & clumping, all you have to do on a daily basis is remove the clumps leaving a clean, fragrant litter tray!
