Light, doesn't clump, smells good, hardly gets spread around the flat.
I've been using it for 1.5 years now,
Still waiting for the 40k sack!!!
With 2 Maine Coons (each weighing 5 kg), one sack lasts 5 weeks. In summer, I change it after 3 weeks. You can always top it up, but I prefer to clean the litter box completely. As with all types of litter, I recommend – especially for long-haired cats – placing a high-pile rug in front of the litter box. That way, any leftover litter gets caught in the rug and doesn’t end up all over the house.
Thanks to the pellets, nothing sticks to their fur, and there’s absolutely no dust. Smell: pleasantly like a FOREST! When my cats do their business, nothing sinks! (I assume it’s because the wood deprives bacteria of a breeding ground).
Weight: No more heavy lifting! Super lightweight. I used to use bentonite litter. Great clumping, but ridiculously heavy, and I found the grains in my bed disgusting. A wood pellet is much easier to pick up than sand grains.
Experience: At first, my cats found it a bit strange because of the pellets, and my tomcat initially emptied half of the litter out of the box. But both quickly got used to it. My female cat often doesn’t cover her droppings, unfortunately. Still, the smell disappears quickly because the pellets dry out the faeces fast.
Clumps can be easily removed with a scoop. Some people say the clumps fall apart, but that only happens if you try to remove them immediately after the cat urinates. Just wait a bit! As mentioned, the faeces dry super quickly and can be removed easily. I wouldn’t recommend flushing it down the toilet for giant Coons. The clumps are too big! But they’re so much lighter than bentonite clumps, especially when a 12 kg Coonie tomcat has a wee! TRY IT!

Absolutely brilliant!
Finally, clumping litter that truly lives up to its name. I've tried many different types, including other varieties from Cat's Best, but so far I've only had negative experiences. Either the litter clumped but ended up scattered all over the house, or I had no crumbs in the house but the litter didn’t clump. Both our four-legged friends and we two-legged ones are absolutely delighted.

Once and never again...
Ghastly stuff... My cat (long-haired) wasn’t particularly impressed but reluctantly used it when she had to. However, the litter still ended up scattered around the flat, which is even more annoying given the size of the granules compared to fine sand. On top of that, the clumping isn’t particularly impressive and feels very wasteful. Way too much mess in the litter tray, and after two days it was clear: this stuff is going in the bin, and the tried-and-tested option is coming back...

No litter in the flat, but it stinks, etc.
The litter doesn’t end up scattered around the flat, even with two long-haired cats and one short-haired one. Two points for that. But unfortunately, my toilet got clogged on the very first day, it smells, the clumps fall apart, and it’s not economical at all!! I’m disappointed!

Not suitable for long hair
Our Maine Coon always had her furry paws full of litter, it was everywhere. The British Shorthair tomcat was satisfied, but the litter starts to smell bad very quickly, and the consumption is too high. I definitely wouldn’t throw it in the toilet. If cleaning the cat’s litter box is too much for you, I recommend the poop scooper – it’s brilliant, no smell at all.

The Best!
I have got two fluffy Maine Coons and I have been using this product for about 6 weeks now. I am so, so glad that vacuuming the floor every two days is finally over. There is a few pellets here and there but it is NOTHING to compare with what it has been before. Just to mention that I have used Cat's Best Oko Plus before and it is a great cat litter but not for long hair cats. I wasn't sure if my cats will like the pellets, so for the first couple weeks I was spreading Cat's Best Nature Gold on top. It worked, they got used to it. The only thing that you have to be careful with is flushing it - it is clumping into really big clumps.

Brilliant - no tracking
I started of with the Cats Best OKO Plus for our large fluffy Maine Coon and had a terrible time clearing up the tracking and the litter was getting everywhere. This litter is so much better and we now only get a few pellets around the door to the tray. I would strongly recommend anyone who has a long haired cat to try this product. Only slight downside is that it does not last quite as long the Cats Best OKO, but well worth it because of virtually no mess.

Cat's Best vs World's Best
I've been using World's Best litter for a year now for 2 cats with the only complaint being the tracking of dust. Always on the lookout for good value flush-able litter (especially since one cat pees more than I thought imaginable for such a small creature thus running through litter very quickly), I am now giving Cat's Best Nature Gold a try. At first I tried to mix it with World's Best and disliked it. But a warning, do not mix this with any other finer litter otherwise you end up with mixed cement-like clumps and a horrible sawdust smell. Now using it entirely on its own, I do prefer it to World's Best because there is no tracking at all though I have to be a bit more careful with the disposal. Yet to see if in the long run it is cheaper though.

Cats Best Nature Gold
Only had my two kittens for 8 weeks and had been using Worlds Best Cat Litter. Thought I really liked it but the constant trail of powder dust everywhere they had walked was getting me down. So, I looked on the internet and found so many excellent reviews about this cat litter. Wasn't sure at first whether they would like it - pellets instead of the usual cat litter material. But they are fine with it. I love it, no smells, it clumps brilliantly, is economical and no powder trails. Wouldn't use any other now. Yes,
it is expensive but worth every penny! Just wish Zooplus could arrange communication with the courier on the customers behalf to leave it in a safe place at home Work full-time so it's a pain when it arrives and no-one in. Then have to re-arrange

Excellent
This litter does everything it claims. I've got 4 housecats and have tried every type of litter going, including mixing different types to try and counteract the smell. This litter does not smell, and has low track. Would not use any other kind now.

Very poor cat litter
After reading all the other reviews I thought I would give this cat litter a go. It doesn't stop the smell at all and it doesn't clump very well. The only positive about it is that I don't have sand all over the house.

The best litter of all time!
This cat litter is simply unbeatable. It clumps really well and doesn’t get spread around the house. I’ve tried quite a few cat litters, but this one is truly fantastic!

Absolutely recommendable
After reading all these different comments, I was really curious, especially since my two furry friends are quite sensitive and, if they’re not happy, they like to do their "business" elsewhere. I was a bit shocked because the pieces are actually quite large (reminds me of deer feed at the wildlife park ;-) ), but both of them went straight to the litter box and did their business like good little cats. It clumps really well, and the litter doesn’t get tracked outside (finally no more constant vacuuming - yay), what more could you want? If it stays this way, I won’t be buying anything else. Full marks!

Absolutely the best cat litter!
The best cat litter I’ve ever had. Excellent clumping, completely odourless. Truly recommendable!

Clumps perfectly and keeps the flat clean.
I bought this cat litter because the usual Cat's Best Öko Plus was out of stock. At first, I just mixed it in with the old litter since it's quite different from the usual type. Eventually, I switched to using it completely, and I have to say, this litter is amazing! It doesn’t get tracked all over the flat (finally!!!), and the clumps are outstanding. Definitely better than the CB Öko Plus, as they’re much more stable and don’t crumble as easily. Plus, it absorbs odours much better! What started as a substitute purchase has definitely turned into a regular one! I can absolutely recommend it.

Super!
I think it's great, and the kitties do too.
My main focus when choosing the litter was:
- no spreading throughout the house
- good clumping
The litter meets both criteria. It doesn't smell either, unless the cats don't properly bury their leftovers. So just make sure to fill in enough.
It hasn't caused any dust for us either.
So, all good. The only downside is that the consumption is relatively high. That's a shame.

I don't like it, the tomcat doesn't.
I filled the litter box and was quite taken with the pleasant wood scent.
It’s (almost) true that it doesn’t get scattered around the flat.
Now for my reality:
On the first day, my cat barely used the litter box, which already surprised me. Additionally, he played with the litter pellets and ended up scattering them around the flat anyway.
But then came the second day. He did his business outside the litter box, right on my bathroom mat. From this, I conclude that there’s something about the litter he doesn’t like.
I threw it away almost unused.
Never again.

Significant drop in quality
This litter used to be perhaps the best in the world a few years ago: odourless, clumped well, easy to dispose of, and hardly "trackable" even by our two Persians. However, for months now, the clumping ability has become so poor that I’m now looking for a different litter. Since almost all urine clumps immediately disintegrate upon contact with the scoop, the effort required for disposal and the consumption have increased disproportionately.

Best Litter I've Tried!
I've got two indoor cats and have tried many litters over the years. I've always preferred wooden litter as it seemed to absorb odours better but the sawdust that inevitably got carried out of the tray was a constant pain to clean up and it made cleaning out the litter tray really messy.
This litter is great - the same odour-absorbing qualities as wood pellets (in fact, probably even better!) but it clumps so it is so easy to clean out the tray and there is minimal spread outside the tray. A brilliant product.

AMAZING!!!!!!
I originally used the cat's best oko plus and was very happy with it apart from the dust and tracking (semi-longhaired cats). I moved onto this and those problems have vanished! There is no dust at all, no tracking (just a few pieces daily outside the box). And as with the normal cats best it has great odour control, clumping, is flushable, lasts ages and is compostable.
I actually can't think of one bad thing to say :o)
