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.

Super straightforward and pleasant.
Once you've experienced the luxury of disposing of cat litter via the toilet, you won't want to do it any other way. It forms excellent clumps and is really easy to dispose of with a coarse scoop. On top of that, I have to say there's a huge difference between the regular Cat's Best Nature and the one for long-haired cats, as absolutely nothing gets stuck in their fur anymore.
I can only recommend it... and our two Persian boys like it too!

massively flawed
It is simply outrageous to charge so much money for such a poor-quality product.
First of all, upon opening the package, you immediately notice that the product depicted on the packaging DEFINITELY does not match the product inside.
The packaging shows solid pellets (which is why I bought the product), but instead, it contains the same crumbly mess as CBÖP.
(Why I should pay more for this is beyond me...)
So, let’s go through the supposedly applicable product features for this item:
"Non-stick to fur - ideal for long-haired cats"
Not true. Since the litter doesn’t clump properly, it sticks to damp paws and gets carried out of the tray.
"Highly efficient - very effective"
Not efficient at all. The clumps are disproportionately large, and calling this litter effective is outright false.
I tried this litter with my kittens, and after just two days, the entire tray had to be replaced!
"Extremely odour-binding"
After 48 hours with kittens, it already starts to stink.
"Clumping"
The stuff barely clumps, and when it does, the clumps are far too large and loose.
There were broken clumps scattered all over the litter...
DISGUSTING!

Difficult to clean!
Since the product description sounded pretty good, I decided to give it a try, and I’m endlessly disappointed! Just one day later, I went back to using my tried-and-tested litter. Even with a large scoop, you end up throwing away a lot of "unused" pellets during cleaning because the clumps are hard to sift through. It’s dusty, it smells, and it quickly spreads around the flat. I absolutely cannot recommend it...

Super satisfied
We've tried out loads of different types of litter, but we've never had one as perfect as this. What's especially great is that, even with a long-haired cat, it doesn't end up scattered all around the litter box and smeared everywhere. We'll definitely stick with this one!

Super thrilled
I have been using Cat's Best Nature Gold for a week now and I’m absolutely thrilled. Before this, I used Cat's Best Öko Plus and was already satisfied with it. Nothing sticks to the fur anymore, and the little bit that falls in front of the litter box is normal. You get that with all types of litter.
It doesn’t produce much dust either, it clumps wonderfully, and it binds odours effectively. The only thing to criticise is that it doesn’t come in a larger pack. So, from me, it’s 5 stars plus!

Well!
My enthusiasm leaves a lot to be desired! Apart from the fact that it's biodegradable and can go in the compost bin!
It starts to smell disproportionately quickly, spreads perfectly around the cat litter boxes and therefore throughout the flat, and is also poorly available! I’ll be switching!

A lot of money for a lot of stink in the litter tray
When my cat once did her business next to the litter box, I realised that the litter box smelled. With other litter, it's enough if I remove the clumps once a day. With this litter, I have to do it twice a day (with just one cat). The pellets disintegrate after a week at the latest, and the fine crumbs spread around the flat. On top of that, the litter gets dusty as well. I won’t be buying it again and will switch back to the regular CBÖP.

Cat's Best Nature Gold
Super easy to dispose of, lasts a long time, smells good. The only downside is that you always have to sweep up the pellets the cat scatters next to the litter box. But it's not as bad as with the other Cat's Best.

Not available!!!!
The litter is great – but what good is it to me if it’s never available! I’ve been on the product waiting list for months. Every now and then, I get a notification saying it’s now in stock. But when I check in the evening after work, it’s already gone again!!! I’m quite annoyed!

The best litter on the market
I’ve had cats at home for about 25 years now and have tested countless products. Öku Plus was something we really liked, but we didn’t fancy vacuuming the whole house twice a day. This litter, however, is the absolute CROWN. It clumps really well, doesn’t smell at all, and lasts a long time. The high price is therefore acceptable. It’s just a shame that there are frequent delivery issues with this litter and that it’s not available in 40-litre bags.

It's a shame...
...that this litter is so hard to get.
The best I've ever tried.
I last changed it after 6 weeks, and I realised while cleaning that I probably could have waited another 1–2 weeks.
That's why I find the price reasonable. My cats had absolutely no issues switching to this litter.
A perfect cat litter will probably never exist, though.

Great Product
This litter is one of the best I've tried that my cats will use - normally I find one that is great for me to scoop but my 3 cats won't give it the time of day.
Doesn't track nearly as much as the less expensive version, although some bits do make it out of the tray. Clumps well and is good for odour too. Decent value for money as well. I'll definitely be buying this from now on.

Different Product Review
I have two Persians and have been quite satisfied so far. Only my tomcat is still having a bit of trouble. I've been using it for about 2 months now, and to avoid any mishaps, one of my three litter boxes is still filled with a different litter (for long-haired cats), but sprinkled with B. Nature Gold on top. He loves digging after doing his business. He doesn’t seem to like doing that with just CBNG. I hope he gradually gets used to it this way.

Great Litter
We switched to this version because of the extreme tracking problems of the Oko Plus. Very good stuff, just wished it'd be in stock more often.

Decline in quality
At first, the litter was really good, hardly any dust and clumped well. But for some time now, the quality has dropped drastically; it’s much finer than it was at the beginning and creates dust like crazy. The clumps also fall apart completely. At this high price, you’d expect consistently high quality, wouldn’t you?
