Since I breed Maine Coon cats, the litter box is always in full operation :)! Previously, I used the well-known Cat's Best Öko Plus cat litter – which I was very happy with, but the mess after the cats had been at the litter box was unbearable! During that time, my vacuum cleaner was my best friend. Now Cat's Best has answered my prayers and finally designed these amazing pellets, which also form clumps and, like the other litter, can be disposed of via the toilet. I must say, even though the clumps sometimes seem very large – you can really flush them down the toilet! Almost no mess anymore!!! Simply brilliant!!!!

I thought I needed pellets for my Connys because of their long fur. At first, I was relatively satisfied until I realised I was spending almost more money on the litter than on my high-quality, certainly not cheap cat food. When my cats went to the toilet, I had huge clumps in the litter tray that I definitely couldn’t dispose of via the toilet. Not to mention the big mess. In short, I was using over a 10-litre bag per week. I’ve now switched back to the predecessor, Cats Best Öko. Conclusion: Half the consumption, lower costs, very efficient, excellent odour control. The cats love it. You can also dispose of it very well in the toilet, which you definitely can’t do with the pellets. All in all, very satisfied.

I can only ever recommend it and have been loyal to the brand for almost a year now. :-) For me, there’s absolutely no better one. Simply everything is top-notch.

The cat litter is actually very good because it's economical and the pellets, due to their size, don't scatter all over the flat. However, I use at least three full toilet flushes every day to dispose of the clumps from my two cats. That's quite a lot of water being used purely for convenience. So, I'm considering going back to the traditional way of carrying the clumps down five floors to the rubbish bin. Otherwise, it's the best cat litter I've ever tried.

I previously used the "normal" Cats Best and was already impressed – with our Ragdoll tomcat, however, there was always the issue of small bits getting stuck in his paws. This product is perfect for us – our cat accepted it straight away. It clumps well – though you do need to give it some time to harden. The odour control – excellent – as long as you have a pet that carefully covers up, just like with any litter. From my experience, I can wholeheartedly recommend this product!

It’s the best litter for long-haired cats. I have three Coonies, and they’ve been used to it from the very beginning. Disposing of it via the toilet is just so convenient. I can’t imagine using any other litter anymore. The litter doesn’t stick to their fur, so it doesn’t get spread around the house. Great that it’s now available in a larger package!

I expected something better; we've been using it for three days, and it smells like a litter box, which is unbearable. It doesn't clump particularly well either!

My cats refuse to use the toilet, even though I initially mixed it with their usual cat litter. They prefer to go next to it instead. The cat litter isn't firm enough; the cats don't have a solid surface – everything slides away under their paws. Not recommended.

I can only say good things about this litter. I previously used Cat's Best Öko and was satisfied. My Maine Coon tomcat has taken to it well, there's no more litter scattered around the flat, and nothing sticks to his fur anymore. It clumps well and has a pleasant woody smell. Now it even comes in 20-litre bags – what more could you want?

My Persian cat loves it, and the litter tray doesn’t smell as bad as it used to! Plus, the litter no longer gets spread around the flat, and it doesn’t stick to my cat’s long fur anymore :)

Had high expectations since Cat's Best Öko Plus is already so great, but it's too lightweight and ends up getting spread all over the house... Well, with this Nature Gold, hardly anything gets thrown out of the litter box, but digging around in it doesn't seem to be very appealing for the cats, and it barely clumps. In other words, the urine seeps all the way to the bottom, and when you try to remove it, a lot of urine-soaked litter remains, which then starts to smell. With Cat's Best Öko Plus, you can remove clumps immediately without waiting. Really disappointing! At least heating pellets would be cheaper.

... nevertheless, I’m giving it 4 stars because I think the idea is really good. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind using such a litter box myself ;-) What’s great is that the litter doesn’t stick to the fur of my Coonies when they: play with it, romp around on it, shoot the pellets all over the place, or simply sleep in the new litter box. Since that’s not exactly what it’s meant for, I mixed the litter with our usual clumping litter. Now at least one of the cats is using it as a toilet, while the others couldn’t care less and prefer to keep using the two “normal” litter boxes. Since I like the concept behind it, I’ll stick to mixing for now. Maybe the other two will catch on eventually, and I can gradually increase the wood content. As it stands, it’s not really making much of a difference ;-)

Once again, I thought it was perfect – lightweight, eco-friendly, etc. But the boys were completely of a different opinion *eye roll*. They ended up peeing and pooping next to it. Well, it doesn’t help at all if I’m convinced about it. Such a shame!!!

For long-haired cats, it's absolutely brilliant – you don't constantly have litter all over the house, and nothing gets stuck in their fur either! I only use this litter now!

Unfortunately, I (and my 2 cats) couldn’t get anything out of this product. My two British Shorthairs were in agreement and refused to use the litter (i.e., the toilet) for 1.5 days, presumably because of the feeling of stepping on the pellets. I observed several times how they tried to go into the toilet, but as soon as one paw touched the pellets, they immediately backed away. Before anything happened, I ended up using my old litter. Unfortunately, this was a complete waste of money!!!!!

I'm thrilled! My two long-haired cats love it, and it hardly makes any mess outside the litter box. Simply a dream!

I only buy Cat's Best Nature Gold now!

I was positively surprised by the clumping of the product, as I hadn’t expected this from such pellets. However, they also fall apart very easily, so you have to remove the clumps from the toilet very carefully. Additionally, it takes some time for the clumps to form, which means the urine sometimes seeps through to the bottom, and you end up having to scrape the clumps off the floor. The remaining parts (soaked with urine) start to emit an unpleasant smell after just a few days, and even the woody scent of the litter doesn’t mask it. You should top up the litter every 2–3 days to keep things under control. Probably quite suitable for single cats or neutered cats that don’t urinate as much. Droppings stick easily to the pellets, which spares the scoop a bit during cleaning. My conclusion: tried it... and will keep looking.

I changed to this after using Cats Best Oki Plus, I thought this was great cat litter but the amount of time that I would spend vacuuming it from around the house was ridiculous. I changed back to a clay based product so that there wasn't as much tracking around the house but was getting really irritated with the mess that it made in the tray, how difficult it was to clean out and the lack of odour control. I decided that as a last attempt I would try Nature Gold. It's fantastic! There is very little tracking, it scoops out of the tray so easily and it tackles odours really well. To top it off, it looks a lot nicer in the tray as I have an open tray. I would highly recommend it.

I've been using Cat's Best for quite a while now, but the crumbs and dust in the flat, as well as on my black tomcat who practically digs up the litter box, always annoyed me. Tried Nature Gold, and there's much less mess around. After a full clean-up on the balcony, I refill the litter box and give it a good shake (CAREFUL with the wind blowing towards you :)), which removes quite a bit of dust, meaning there's less of it in the flat afterwards. The odour control is excellent, though with high-quality food, it's generally not much of an issue anyway. The product's own smell is acceptable, and the cats have no problems with it. One bag lasts about 3-4 weeks for two cats, which is absolutely fine, and disposing of the clumps via the household toilet is, of course, incredibly convenient. Five stars from me. Larger packages, like with the regular Cat's Best, would also be a great advantage!
