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!

The Best !
For years i've used Cats Best,but my long haired Ragdoll carries the litter around the house,so i have to hoover every day and sometimes twice a day.
So fed up i decided to try Cat's Best Nature Gold and now i will never use another litter again.
We now have litter free carpets!! If you have a long haired cat you really must try it.

Disappointed
On the positive side, you hardly find any litter in front of the toilet anymore. However, the downside is that the pellets absorb too late. The urine runs onto the bottom of the toilet and only gets absorbed there. This creates huge clumps that are almost impossible to dispose of in the household toilet. Larger messes aren’t absorbed at all (odour). I’ve now gone back to using Cats Best Öko Plus. It does make more mess, but it’s more effective.

Pleasantly surprised!
We have 2 Maine Coons and 1 regular house cat. We used Cat's Best all the time, which was great, but the Coons increasingly had matted fur. So, we switched to Cat's Best Nature Gold. Although it wasn’t recommended to us because of the large pellets – they said it wouldn’t be suitable for the house cat and that the pellets were too sharp-edged, posing a risk of injury. All nonsense! Our house cat uses the litter box just as usual, the Coons no longer have matted fur, it clumps nicely, and there’s minimal mess in front of the litter box. We’re very, very happy with this litter.

Best litter I've tried.
I've tried lots of different litters and definitely prefer the wood based ones. This is even better as it clumps so doesn't turn to sawdust when it gets wet. It's very easy to clean out and there's hardly any mess around the litter tray. I wouldn't use anything else now I've found this. Love it!

Top pick
We tried a few different litters but our cats like this the best. It keeps odors to a minimum and being able to flush small amounts down the loo is so convenient, especially for city dwellers. It does track a little, but much less than other varities we tried.

Very good!
It was recommended to me by my breeder.
I have a British Longhair.
I think the litter is really great; it doesn’t smell, and it doesn’t stick to the fur except for very rarely a tiny bit (not worth mentioning, really). Some of it might end up in front of the litter box, but not much.
With my little kitty, the litter lasts at least 2–3 weeks; I clean it every day but replace it completely only after 2 to 3 weeks. It doesn’t smell at all, and I flush it down the toilet afterwards. The only downside is that my cat can’t properly bury her droppings. That’s why I’m now trying the regular Cat’s Best Öko, as it’s more affordable and, according to reviews, also very good for long-haired cats!

Unfortunately, not good.
Since the Cats Best Öko Plus litter was too dusty for me personally, and with another brand the granules were too small and ended up being tracked all over the flat, I wanted to try something new. This one sounded promising, especially since I have two long-haired cats and it specifically states that it's suitable for long-haired cats. Unfortunately, my cats no longer use the litter box where I put the Nature Gold litter. The faeces and urine can't be properly buried because the granules are far too large. It was worth a try, but sadly it failed. Back to searching.

There’s nothing better!
Very good litter for long-haired cats, there’s nothing better! Very economical, doesn’t smell, doesn’t create dust! Lasts a long time and is also environmentally friendly! My two younger Maine Coon cats are equally satisfied, simply brilliant!

Perfect
Our cats have been using this for over a year now and it really is the best cat litter you can get. We tried many other products before finding this one and will not be going back.

Super!!
I am very satisfied with the litter. It clumps well and still smells good even after a few weeks. Individual clumps can be easily disposed of via the toilet. And finally, hardly any litter gets carried out of the cat litter box. There are just a few crumbs in front of the toilet. If the quality of the litter stays this good, I will continue to buy it.

Pure Nature
I’ve had two bags so far, and unfortunately, the pellets in the second one were significantly smaller than in the first. Such a shame. With these new "small" pellets, some litter gets carried out, which didn’t happen before. Because of that, I’m giving one star less, but it’s still better than anything else I’ve used before. With a bit of skill and practice, you can remove the clumps without them breaking apart. The poop doesn’t get buried—same for me. The wood scent lasts a long time, so the litter box doesn’t smell bad at all.

Expected more!
Well, it's okay, but nothing special. Due to the coarse pellets, my two tomcats had trouble using the litter box. The second downside is that the "coarse stuff" is visibly left on the pellets, and lastly – the clumps crumble when you try to remove them. The only positive is that there are now only 3-4 pellets scattered in front of the litter box – that's acceptable.

Finally, less litter being tracked out.
I can only agree with that. Besides, the pellets are much easier to remove and don’t get stuck everywhere. I’m satisfied.

disappointed
The litter clumps only partially, it smells, and my cats track a lot of it out. I think the price-performance ratio is poor.

Litter for long-haired cats
Two long-haired cats and parquet flooring throughout the flat. I spent a long time looking for suitable litter. The 'pellets' don’t stick to their fur, and if some does end up outside, the parquet doesn’t get scratched. The litter is very economical, clumps well, and can be disposed of in the garden.

A great product!
This is a fantastic cat litter. I was genuinely impressed after the very first use! My tomcat has an allergy to regular litter, which caused us quite a bit of stress treating him. But after using your litter, the symptoms subsided. My two younger cats were also happy with it :)

I'm sticking with it!
After trying many litters, I came across this one through forum posts. I gave it a go and stuck with it.
Even though it doesn’t look like it, it forms good clumps. It smells nice, binds odours very quickly, and you can easily flush the poo down the toilet!
