AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Cat's Best litter has received praise for its excellent clumping and minimal tracking, keeping homes tidy and odour-free. However, recent changes have left some users disappointed, citing issues with dust, inconsistent clumping, and smaller, crumbling pellets. Despite these concerns, many still find it economical and effective, particularly for long-haired cats. Overall, while the product has seen a dip in quality, it remains a favourite for its cleanliness and ease of use.

Very disappointing
For a product that is twice the price as the original Cat's Best it's sadly only half as good. The clumps fall apart so you scoop away twice as much and so go through a bag twice as quickly. It still scatters over the floor, just the bits are bigger so easier to see to sweep up - but that's the only redeeming feature. Truly not worth the extra money.

Mixed review
So I switched from the cats best original as the tracking was becoming awful. This does track less however it doesn't last as long. I have to buy a fresh pack every month whereas the original would be every 2-3 months for the same size bag. It is more expensive too so it has its good and bad points but it does track less than the original which is what I wanted.

Fantastic litter
I have a Maine Coon plus 2 other long haired cats and 5 short haired cats and this litter is fab. Doesn't stick to my long hairs, doesn't smell and has been in the tray for 4 weeks. Doesn't track which is why after trying 5 different litters recently this is now my go too. Only downside is it's expensive but you get what you pay for.
Low tracking
This is the best cat litter I know, and I've tried loads over the last 20 years. It's a bit heavy but this means the litter stays in the tray. We have an open litter box and almost no litter comes out. This litter also does not stick to my long haired cat's fur. Overall very happy, excellent product. Regarding the clumping, I wait a bit for it to dry, then it clumps OK. Use a scoop with big holes so the unused pellets can fall through. Lasts weeks.

Converted!
This litter has been a vast improvement on our old one. It's a lot pricier at £7 more for a 20l bag, but the benefits far outweigh the cost! Tracking was the reason I wanted to switch. With two maine coons, their fur just tracks litter everywhere. Not a problem anymore! 95% of litter stays in the trays or on the litter mats, and the rest can be easily swept up with dustpan and brush. It clumps well, is flushable, stays fresh, looks and smells great, and cats seem to prefer it too!

Brilliant !!!!!!
I've been using wood pellets for several years now and been happy with it. I had been wasting alot when cleaning the litter tray out so thought I would try this wood pellet litter although I couldn't see how wood pellets would clump!!! I was so amazed when I cleaned her litter the next day , it actually works if amazing. Yes, its expensive but you save money by not having empty the whole tray every two weeks.

Great idea. End product needs reworking
I was looking for a litter that would be as good as the corn one made by Aussies. That thing is a miracle. I saw this product and hoped it would deliver the same. Only if I mixed it with the regular cat's best litter (red and green) - then the clumping was OKish. But smell and waste were unacceptable. I may have paid less for the litter, but ended up throwing a lot of it away. Sadly, I can't recommend.
These were fantastic, but now not worth the extra money
Our cat has what can only be described as "sticky feet". I've been using this product for a while & it solved the problem of her walking litter all over the house. NOT ANY MORE. They've made the pellets smaller & now we're back to vacuuming her litter trail after every visit to the tray. It's not worth paying extra for a litter that is as messy as the lower priced version. Why on earth would the manufacturer change a winning formula?

Cat's Worst
They've changed the formula few months ago and this is not 'best' anymore. The pellets are smaller, it does not clump like it use to and because of this my cat takes it around the whole house. I have to vacuum almost every day now.
This is now Cat's Worst!!!
So good for our little paw pets
My cat loves these smart pellets, we have tried several different products, this one comes out on top. No mess when kitty comes out of the tray and good to flush down the loo. No more cleaning the tray every week I only clean it every 2 to 3 weeks.
Changed formula - won't buy again
The attraction was the low tracking and the fact that is biodegradable and flushable. Like others have said, formula seems to have changes and there's a lot of tracking and dust now.

Best cat litter, wish they would change back to old formula
Best cat litter we have used. i just wish they would change back to old formula where the pellets were bigger. The litter now causes tracking even with an enclosed litter box and theres a lot of dust in the bag now. Not sure why they changed the formula as a lot of customers feel the same.

Wont be buying this again
This product has changed not what it use to be like.really disappointed.. waste a lot not clumping as it used to..also noticed the pellets are different plus strong smell of urine coming through I have never had this before. For what you pay it's a waste of money lost a customer on this one . Wont be buying these smart pellets again .

Not as good as they used to be
I have used this product for several years now and always found it exceptional - no tracking. The last two bags that I have received the product is not as good - there seems to be a lot of dust and the pellets are smaller, this causes the product to track around the house. Can the manufacturers please explain why they have changed the formula please.

At last something that works
Having a ragdoll with very long pawy hairs he seems to drag cat litter everywhere.
So decided enough was enough and purchased this cat litter a little expensive but definitely a winner.
I am so happy with the results.
Hopefully hoovering 3 times a day will be a thing of the past. Also it clumps together better than my old one.

Was brilliant, now average
When I first got this product, it changed everything! The big pellets didn't track, and created big non-dusty clumps.
However the last few months the pellets have got smaller and now I'm finding the clumps are breaking up.
One more chance or I think I'll have to try something else :(
Such value for money
IMO! I really was surprised by the size of this bag I dunno why it’s deffo gunna last me a couple of months! Very good value
|
Love this litter
Clumps together so easy to use but only get this as it was what he was used to but it’s very easy to keep clean and keeps the smell away much better then other litters

Super
A product worthy of it's name. It is indeed the best solution for the litter.

Cat litter for semi long-haired cats
Cat litter for semi long-haired cats. I have used this product with my semi long-haired cats for years and it is to date the best..I have tried other brands and other varieties over the years, this tracks far less. I occasionally mix in a scoop of worlds best original ( which is a fine litter) ) This gets even better results but the final letter does track. It is just finding the best thing that works for you and your cats.

Excellent for long-haired cats
Especially for long-haired cats, it's an excellent product. Very little tracking. Absorbs moisture well. No litter box smell. Even with 5 cats (multiple trays). I've been using it for years and I'm happy with it.

Good litter
After years of using silica litter and months of persuading my cats to switch to a more "eco" version, I finally succeeded. The litter is accepted, absorbs well, and dissolves nicely in water (I leave it for 3-5 minutes before flushing). I recommend it!

No smell
It comes out of the box on the cats' paws, but you can put a mat down. It doesn't smell, it's only been three weeks and I have two cats and two litter boxes.
I like the product.

Good
They were great! But we noticed there are a lot of small pieces and it's sandy. It's a pity really, because now it's all over the floor, which wasn't the case before. Unfortunately, the quality has gotten worse and the price is high.

It's not what it used to be
I've been buying it for a long time because Sugus has asthma, and while looking for pellets with little dust, I found these. For years they've been great; I might find some dust at the bottom of the bag, but now there's dust from the very first time I pour it into the litter box. You can't lower the quality and keep the same price.

Very satisfied
Doesn't create dust, after a long search I finally found the right litter. My asthmatic cat has no more problems because it doesn't produce dust. Some gets carried out, but only very little. Suitable for long-haired cats.

best
We have two XXL Acaio litter boxes, placed in the old shower in the bathroom. It doesn't make dust, doesn't smell, absorbs well and most importantly – the cats don't track it around on their paws.

Decline in quality
I've been using this cat litter for many years. During this time, the price has skyrocketed and the quality has dropped significantly. On top of that, the quality is inconsistent—sometimes it's better, sometimes worse. For this price, they should really take care of the product's quality.

Best for cats
I've been using this litter for years. I ordered it again two weeks ago, but something has changed – it now looks like cardboard, and even when the cat does its business, it clumps together so much that it's almost impossible to sift with the scoop. If the next bags are like this too, I'll have to try a different litter.
It's a shame they've managed to ruin something that was so good.

Best litter ever!
After 14 years with my Izzy: for us, this is the best cat litter! We've tried a lot and, shocked by the government-induced inflation, saw how everything—especially in the pet sector—suddenly doubled in price! After using ultra litter and 'normal' clumping litter that spreads all over the flat (just one room) and gets stuck between the little toes, these wood pellets are simply THE BEST. Economical, the few little droppings are quickly swept away, no dust syndrome, no residue on the tiles. We're sticking with it!*

Excellent but too expensive
One of the best cat litters I've ever tried, maybe even the best. It doesn't smell, doesn't spread dust everywhere, lasts a long time, clumps well, and can be flushed down the toilet without any issues. I used to buy only this one, up until a few years ago. Now I only use it in my little mountain house, where I can't keep the litter box on the balcony. The price has shot up over the years to a ridiculous and unsustainable level. What a shame!

Watch out for the weight
Warning: 20L (as listed on the website) is actually 10kg (what I received). And if you choose the recommended option, be careful, you end up with 10L, so 5kg. Not very clear. Anyway, apart from that, good product.

Quality has really gone downhill
I've been using these pellets for many years, but lately the quality is so inconsistent that I sometimes have to check the bag to see if I actually got the right product! There's more dust than pellets, and it doesn't even clump anymore. It's so fine that I can't get the dirty litter out of the cat tray at all. So I end up having to change all the litter again, even though I only just replaced it!
