Quite alright.
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.

Brilliant!
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.

Good acceptance, price okay
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!

Still needs odour neutraliser.
I clean the toilet daily, but I live in a smaller flat. I've been using this litter for a few weeks now. Previously, I had a fine litter that flew everywhere. That doesn't happen with Cat's Best Natural Gold, but with the pellets, you can't add a scent binder like you can with fine litter, such as baby powder. It would be great if there could be some development in that area. Larger packs with bulk discounts would also be beneficial.

All good, but...
I've been very satisfied for years, but I'm disappointed that there are still no larger packages available – for this reason, I'm only giving three stars!

Little waste
I have 2 cats who immediately accepted this cat litter, even though they previously had a different one. My cats are allowed to roam freely around the house, and there’s no smell. However, we do have 3 litter boxes set up. I think if the litter box smells too much, it’s definitely not because of this litter but rather due to giving the wrong food or not cleaning enough. I’m very satisfied and hope to get larger bags soon. It could also be a bit cheaper. Otherwise, top-notch.

Never again
I bought this litter because it has many good reviews. Not here though (it was on offer locally, but I mostly buy the food here). My two tomcats do their business half in the litter box, half next to it. Now, after two days of "testing," I can rip out the carpet. Luckily, I only filled one litter box and not both. I'll stick to silica litter, even if it costs twice as much. Besides, this weird "coating" is scattered almost all over the apartment.
I can't understand how so many people think there's hardly anything spread around the house *shaking my head*. The smell when this stuff gets wet is just delightful... not.
Unfortunately, I can't deduct 6 stars here :-/

No more litter in the flat! Brilliant!
I’ve always been very impressed with Cats Best Öko Plus, especially because you can dispose of small clumps in the toilet. The only thing that annoyed me was that the tiny crumbs were scattered all over the flat. They’d even stick to my feet all the time. That’s now a thing of the past with Cats Best Nature Gold. There are still a few pellets scattered around the litter box, which you can quickly pick up, but there’s nothing left lying around the flat anymore! For this quality, I can handle the higher price.
My tomcats also have no issue with the size of the pellets, unlike what others have mentioned in their reviews here. So, just give it a try.

No more crumbs
I’m now mixing Cat’s Best Nature with Öko Best litter – and I’m super happy with it. No more bits scattered all over the flat. I can only recommend it, and our Pauline likes it too.

Super Bedding
The litter is really good. It clumps perfectly, so you don't waste too much of the clean litter, and it controls the odour well.

I'm totally thrilled!!!!
I previously used Cat's Best Öko Plus cat litter and had to vacuum the entire flat every day because it was literally everywhere. I have a Maine Coon, and the litter would get stuck all over her fur, not to mention the dust—it was a nightmare.
Now I’ve switched to "CAT'S BEST NATURE GOLD" cat litter, and I’m absolutely thrilled. My cat no longer comes out of the litter box covered in dust, and the litter isn’t scattered all over the flat anymore (just a tiny bit right in front of the box). The clumping is just as good as with the other one. So, for long-haired and semi-long-haired cats, it’s absolutely perfect. Highly recommended!!!!!
The only thing they could improve is the quantity—10 litres is too little because I need the entire bag for my XXL litter box.

Great, but unfortunately not suitable for sensitive furry friends.
I thought it was great – my little tomcat had a different opinion. Unfortunately, it wasn’t much of a hit for him! I found it pleasantly fresh, dust-free (except for the fine sediment at the bottom of the bag – be careful not to pour that out!) and after 4 days, there were no unpleasant odours noticeable.
But for my three-year-old British Shorthair, Flummy, it was clearly uncomfortable on his paws, and he barely wanted to step on it. He did use his litter box dutifully, but every time he stood in front of it for a while, almost wrestling with himself – should I or shouldn’t I?! – stepping onto those nasty pellets. When he came out, he shook his paws wildly to get rid of the bits stuck to them.
I ended up swapping it back for the remainder of his old bentonite litter, which I actually wanted to move away from, and today I ordered the regular “Cat's Best Öko Plus.” I’ll just have to accept that it scatters more, but I don’t want to subject Flummy to the pellets any longer or risk him deciding to do his business in the shower or somewhere else.
For us humans, “Cat's Best Nature Gold” is truly a very good cat litter – lightweight, clumps well, and binds odours excellently. However, it’s unfortunately not suitable for sensitive paws, so definitely give it a try first. Four stars from me!

Perfect
I usually swear by Cats Best Öko Plus. But since I have a Persian mix, my apartment always looked like a carpentry workshop because of the litter. So, I decided to try something new. And what can I say? This is it! No more crumbs all over the apartment. For me, it's definitely the best – now it just needs to come in larger litre sizes, and everything would be perfect. :-)
I can only recommend it and will buy it again!

Not fit for purpose
Unfortunately, this cat litter is not worth the money. While my kittens track less of it out of the litter box and it’s easier to scoop up, the quality is really poor. Both of them struggle to bury their faeces and can’t even dig a proper hole. On top of that, I’ve only had it in the litter box for a few days and it already smells. I’ve ordered my old litter again and will throw this one out as soon as my package arrives. Sadly, just a waste of money.

Hardly any crumbs left in the flat anymore
I think this litter is brilliant! Everything stays in the litter tray, and the few bits that occasionally get carried out can be quickly picked up by hand, and it looks tidy again in no time. Well, and the big business can be quickly and easily disposed of in the human toilet.
If you have a large litter tray (I have 2 cats), the contents last much longer.

Very good
We are completely satisfied with this product. Previously, we used Cat's Best, but the litter would spread all over the flat and created a lot of dust when pouring it in. The golden litter is quite large and doesn’t stick to the paws, though it occasionally gets kicked out of the toilet when scratching. What we find particularly positive is that the litter can be disposed of in the toilet and is very economical in use.

Me and the three bosses of the house are very satisfied.
I previously used Cats Öko Best and had been dissatisfied with it for quite some time due to the lack of clumping and the fact that it was getting spread all over the house despite using Modkat litter boxes, plus it was getting dustier and dustier. Since I recently got a new addition to the family, a semi-long-haired cat, I decided to try Cats Best Nature Gold, and I’m very satisfied. The clumping is excellent, no dust, no mess. And the cats have no issues with it either.

Super litter, the name Cat's Best fits perfectly :)
Previously, I used Extrem Classic, and I was satisfied with the clumping and it didn’t smell, but it ended up being spread all over the house.
That was the main reason for me to finally try something different. Cat's Best is an excellent litter: clumping, no smell, and finally no more litter outside the cat tray. And it doesn’t create more dust than Extrem Classic when pouring it in.
I’m sticking with it—I have a Maine Coon and two Bengal cats.

Awful -VERY dissapointed
Bought this after reading the positive reviews and am really really dissapointed.
It's a wood pellet style litter which put me off from the beginning. My kitten took to it immediately and did do his business there but was completely unable to bury his poo and so ended up tracking his poo all over the house instead of a few grains of litter because he spent ages in the litter box trying to bury his litter unsucesfully.
As such it smelt really bad.
In addition the clumping ability is REALLY bad and once fluid has soaked into it it becomes like jelly and just falls apart when you try to scoop it.
Have gone straight back to Sanicat Gold which smells better and clumps better. After changing the litter and putting my kitten in the litterbox he used it straight away so he obviously didnt like the last litter much either and was avoiding it.
not good. paws down from both of us here.

Smells wonderfully of the forest, the cats love it!
After trying out many different bentonite litters, we’ve now settled on this one. To test which litter my cats prefer, I filled one litter box with bentonite litter and another with this one. This litter is the favourite. It forms very nice clumps, which I can easily dispose of in the organic waste bin. There’s no smearing on the bottom of the litter box, and the smell is still perfectly fine even after fourteen days. However, one must bear in mind that cat poo from raw food eaters is never going to smell like daisies. In my opinion, no litter can be expected to change that. Unlike Biokat’s Fresh litter, the clumping with this litter remains consistently good. There are always a few grains in front of the litter box, but it doesn’t spread as finely throughout the house as the fine-grained bentonite litter does. Since I always carry the litter boxes to the organic waste bin to clean them, I’m also pleased that this litter is so wonderfully lightweight. That’s also an advantage when lugging the litter bags around. We’ll definitely stick with it and can only recommend it without hesitation!
