AI generated summary based on reviews added by customers
Cat's Best litter has been a favorite for its excellent clumping, odor control, and minimal tracking. Recently, however, users have noticed a decline in quality, with smaller, dustier pellets that crumble and don't clump as effectively, leading to more mess and odor. Despite this, some users still appreciate its odorless nature and ease of cleaning. Many are disappointed and considering switching brands, but others remain loyal due to past satisfaction.

Decline in clumping quality

Very poor Quality
This cat litter used to be fabulous and although expensive I was happy to pay as if stopped my three long haired cats tracking litter through the house
Unfortunately now instead of the large well formed pellets this is now like messy powdery porridge
It’s a disaster sawdust everywhere and it’s now very poor at absorbing urine
Usually buy 6 bags at a time and everyone in last delivery is the same
What a waste of money

Product has changed
I've bought this cat litter for years and the product I received in January has a VERY steep decrease in quality. The pellets are sharper, smaller, darker and they fall apart easily/don't clump as well as they used too. My cat now tracks it throughout the house. This product is expensive but it always balanced out because I had to empty the whole tray less often. Now I'm emptying more frequently so I need to find a new product. I do not recommend this for long hair cats anymore :(

Very Poor
I have always loved Cat's Best but I decided to try the Smart Pellets thinking they would be better than the original Cats Best, however, I am very disappointed the clumps fall apart when scooping, no difference to the odour and does not live up to the high absorbency and odour-binding fibre technology.
I certainly will not be buying it again. CerCome on Cat's Best you can do better than this.

Cars Best Pellets cat litter
The quality is unfortunately getting worse and worse, for a lot more money! Pellets are darker, lots of dust! No longer absorbs moisture as well.

Quality not like it was
I have used this for a number of years, and previously used the original, however in recent months I’ve noticed sometimes I get a good bag but more increasingly it’s a much darker shade and loads of dust, plus the clumping just breaks apart. I’m going to have to look at alternatives.

Quality has gone downhill and keeps getting more expensive.
I have been using this litter for five years for my two cats, and unfortunately, I now have to admit that the quality has significantly declined. It contains many small particles, which makes it dusty and barely clumps. And this, despite the ever-increasing price. I’ve just analysed my subscription orders – the product has become almost 50% more expensive in just one year, which is absolutely unacceptable.

Quality has really gone downhill...
I've been buying these pellets for years, but the last two bags had significant issues. They're mostly just tiny crumbs and a lot of dust in the litter. As a result, it sticks to fur and paws and gets spread all over the flat. Then there's the massive price increase, which is completely unjustified. Unfortunately, I'll have to look for a different plant-based litter!

Used to be better
The quality has really gone downhill. The litter crumbles and gets carried out. On top of that, it’s become very expensive.

Big drop in quality
I have been using this cat litter for years, and for a few months now I've observed a big drop in the quality of the product. The pellets are not as dense, as they used to be, therefore they break apart quite easily. It results in a lot of dust, and cats dragging the crumbs out when walking out of the litter box. Disappointing.
Buying something else starting this month.

No longer clumps and gets carried out.
I used this pellet litter happily for many years. However, CatsBest has now massively changed the "formula". Cheapness is the priority.
The result is that this "clumping" litter no longer clumps (not at all!).
The pellets have also become noticeably smaller, which makes it much easier for them to be carried out of the litter box.
The two key features that used to define this litter – good clumping and no tracking out of the box – are no longer fulfilled.

User-unfriendly, non-sustainable cat litter
Clumping effect unfortunately only satisfactory, pellets are too large and can hardly be disposed of effectively even with a large-format cat litter scoop – unused pellets cannot be separated – therefore not sustainable as too much has to be thrown away. Pellets are too big and coarse, so they are not well received by sensitive cat paws. Needs urgent improvement. I won’t buy it again!

nice clumping pellets
Even with my long-haired cats, the pellets mostly stay in the litter box and are no longer carried all over the house like with regular sand. I'm satisfied.

Not as good as it used to be
I buy from zoo plus as it used to save me money. This has just jumped up £3 a bag, not worth the money as it tracks a lot more than it used to and sticks to my main coons fur

Not impressed
I switched to this litter from cats best original as it was very messy tracking everywhere, I'm not impressed at all, it supposed to block out odours and it didn't.I found I'm using a lot more litter, after scooping there's hardly any litter left in the litter box. The only good side to it is that it doesn't track like the original cats best litter. Won't be buying this again

Won't be purchased again
Used for many, many years. I took care of 5 Maine Coons with it. Now I’m buying something cheaper because the quality has really declined. The pellets are now just tiny bits, like with other cheap litter. The colour is sometimes very dark too... supposedly because it’s a natural product, hence the difference. I can’t understand that, as it was never dark until about half a year ago. The price has also gone up drastically. Unfortunately, it’s just not acceptable anymore.

Quality has deteriorated
I used to love these pellets. SO much better than the ordinary Cats Best so well worth the extra. I like clumping litter so there is very little choice in pellets. However, recently the litter has been more like dust. The pellets are very small and just disintegrate. I emailed Cats Best but never got a reply. Very disappointed.

Quality has deteriorated significantly.
I've been using this litter for years, but now I'm going to look for an alternative. The litter has become very crumbly and ends up scattered all over the flat. It's no longer solid pellets like it used to be. Such a shame, I won't be buying it again.

Price up, quality down
The litter has become significantly more expensive over the past few months. At the same time, the quality has gone downhill. The pellets crumble more easily and are smaller. It used to be better and cheaper. I’ll try out a different litter now to save some money.

Poor quality
I have used this litter for a while, since changing from the original, because it didn’t track or stick in their paws, but I’ve complained recently because the quality of the pellets is very poor almost like it’s the original bits but with lots of dust.
I had to sift it all before I could use it and lost almost half a bag. Won’t be buying again till it’s rectified. Now to my pick another one!!!
