Cat's Best -- 200% TOP
I used conventional litter until about a year ago and was always annoyed that my two Maine Coons spread it all over the house – with Cats Best, this has improved by 200%, and you can really dispose of it very easily via the toilet (saves trips). My two sensitive ones adapted to the change without any issues.
In short: economical – convenient – very good – TOP!

Ugh...
...doesn't smell very pleasant, our two didn't like it at all, we've switched back to Master Grey.

Still brilliant, but...
I wrote the review below when my Siberians were still fairly small... Now that they have grown enormously (Siberians are amongst the monsters of the cat world, in terms of size & weight), the weight that bears down on their paws in the litter tray does make some of the litter stick, so some tracking has become an issue after all. Nevertheless, it's still a great product, and I'm not swapping - just didn't want info that I've now discovered to be slightly inaccurate to stay uncorrected on the site. With small dainty cats, I'm sure that what I said before holds good!

COULDN'T BE BETTER
I've been using Cat's Best for years, but only the regular version so far, and I've always been more than satisfied with it. However, since I was introduced to Cat's Best Nature Gold at a trade fair last year, which is specially designed for long-haired cats, I have to say, I'll never use anything else again. I think it's absolutely brilliant. Since then, no more bits from the litter box get scattered around the house, and nothing gets stuck in my cat's fur anymore. So, from me, this product gets 1********. Absolutely brilliant deluxe!!!!

The litter used to be better.
We are convinced by the litter and have been using it for quite a while. However, when we opened a new bag yesterday, the pellets were very small and crumbly. It now says Mini-Pellets on the packaging. I bought it because of the large pellets for long-haired cats. Now it’s so small that you might as well buy the regular version, and the price is no longer justified. Half of it ends up outside the tray already. Honestly, I’d prefer to return it.

No acceptance
My two Persians completely rejected this litter. As a test, I set up a second litter box with the litter they were already familiar with. Over the course of a week, I only found one little pile in the box with Nature Gold. On top of that, the litter is so coarse that it doesn’t fall through the scoop. So: Unfortunately, not recommended.

More than satisfied!
I've been using this litter since last year and I'm more than satisfied with it. I have two cats, and one pack of litter lasts us 4 weeks in the litter box. I sift out the clumps once a day and dispose of them in the toilet.
To those commenting here claiming the litter doesn't clump, I have no idea what they did wrong. I've been using this litter for over a year now and have never had a single instance where it didn't clump. And as for others saying it smells bad—honestly, I've never had a litter that smells less than this one. If your cats' droppings smell that bad, you might want to reconsider what you're feeding them instead of blaming the litter. My cats are fed a raw diet, and there's absolutely no smell.

Ideal for cats with longer fur
I am very satisfied, and so are my cats – I’ve just been waiting in vain for a long time for a 40-litre package. After all, there are multi-cat households! For this reason, I’m giving the product only 4 out of 5 stars.

It stinks.
This is the last thing I’ll ever buy. The cat droppings stick to the litter, and when removing them, it creates a huge mess and smells absolutely unbearable!

Perfect litter for our long-haired cats
The perfect litter for our long-haired cats – after years of trying different ones, we’ve finally found it!

The very best!
After having tried all sorts of different types of litter for my Siberians, this is undoubtedly the best (even better than the ordinary Cat's Best, where tracking was a desperate issue, although everything else about it was good). There is honestly NO tracking at all - we do get a few bits on the floor still, but that is through over-enthusiastic digging attempts to cover over the poo, not because it gets stuck to feet or fur, so we'd get that whatever litter we used. However, because the individual granules are larger than the average cat litter, they are also much easier either to pick or sweep up, and we don't have a carpet covered in tiny white specks all the time. It is wonderfully absorbent, so the clumps are easy to get rid of; it lasts for AGES, so is very economical (I reckon about half the price of even pretty cheap ordinary litter) and there is NO smell whatsoever. The fact that it's flushable is a boon too - although I must admit I still put some in our litter locker, as I don't want to overburden the drains.
One of our cats was a bit reticent to use it at first, so I just added it bit by bit to his usual litter, and won him over gradually. Now he's quite happy with it and doesn't think twice about the thought of using it.

Great, BUT...
Oko's Best is still the best, (no smell, lasts for ages, great clumping, flushable!) BUT, as far as not tracking, I can say that it still gets stuck to the cat's paws and can be found everywhere, maybe a bit less than the original version, but still everywhere. Also, the pellets are bigger in size than the original Oko litter, and hurt more when trodden on barefooted! So, I will keep on buying the original, slightly cheaper, and overall better.

Easy to scoop and ecological!
Great for eco-friendly people and easy to scoop(but not sure how eco-friendly the production method is to make it clump when wet??). Much easier to handle than non-clumping wood based litter. My cat does seem to get it everywhere but at least it tracks in pellet form and not sawdust everywhere like the non-clumping wood pellets. I have a long haired cat and it doesn't stick in his fur like the Oko-Plus flakes.

Couldn't be without it!
I have ragdolls cats and must of tried every litter on the market in the past 5 years. Since finding Cat's Best nothing else will do for indoor use. Yes it tracks but they all do, this hardly at all. It doesn't scratch furniture as some of the grit litters do. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant thank goodness its back in stock!!!!!!!

Worst cat litter I've ever had
The litter was a disaster; by the evening, it already smelled even though the droppings had been removed. The urine sank to the bottom, it didn’t clump, and I didn’t want to throw the strange litter into the toilet either.

Very good cat litter
Finally, a cat litter that doesn’t get scattered all over the house. Looks good, can be disposed of in the toilet, and absorbs odours really well. Unfortunately, it’s only available in a 10 kg pack. Perhaps there’ll be a larger size someday to help reduce the cost. Suggestion: 20 kg.
My four cats are very happy with it.

Very good...
I’ve always been looking for a litter that can be conveniently disposed of via the toilet. Before this, I had the standard absorbent litter, but I wasn’t really satisfied with it because you end up throwing away a lot of clean litter. This litter is very efficient, and if you remove the solid waste straight away, there’s absolutely no smell anymore. For liquid waste, it clumps really well—no crumbling or breaking apart. I think this product is TOP. I would recommend it to everyone.

3...2...1 help
When filling the litter box, I was initially quite impressed, and I found the clumping properties to be good a little later on. BUT then... the "big" business happened, and we nearly fainted... absolutely no trace of odour control! A fart-like smell wafted from the bathroom through our entire flat (100 sqm), and even the cheapest emergency litter wasn’t this catastrophic. Nature is all well and good, but not like this, please! It might be a good option for rodents, but definitely not for the intended target group.

Finally, no more cat litter in the flat!
After a long odyssey of trying different cat litters, we were very happy for quite some time to have found Cat's Best Öko Plus. However, one issue dampened our joy: the litter was constantly being tracked all over the flat by our 8 Maine Coons.
So, we decided to try this cat litter (Cat's Best Nature Gold), as it’s supposed to be better for long-haired cats. We noticed the difference immediately – there was hardly any litter to be found in the flat anymore, and even next to the litter box, there was barely anything visible. We've stuck with it ever since and are very satisfied – there are never any unpleasant odours, the litter only needs to be completely replaced every few weeks, and it’s very economical.
However, due to the size of the pellets, the clumping ability is slightly compromised, but this doesn’t really bother us as it’s still easy to keep the litter box clean. The bigger downside is that there’s no 40-litre bag available, which makes it significantly more expensive than Cat's Best Öko Plus.
If you’re happy with Cat's Best Öko Plus and don’t have issues with litter being tracked around the flat, you should stick with it (if only because of the price difference). For everyone else, this cat litter is an excellent alternative.
One thing we’ve noticed is that there seem to be occasional quality issues, as we once got a bag where the pellets were just as small as those of Cat's Best Öko Plus.
