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.

Overall, while the product has seen a dip in quality, it remains a favourite for its cleanliness and ease of use.

Poor

Not sure why Zooplus are still selling this product. It is clearly inferior quality and the buying team should address otherwise overall custom will be lost

No longer does the job

Used this for ages and always been happy with it.Not since it changed to Smart Pellets. It doesn't clump properly, is very dusty and is nowhere near as good as it used to be at eliminating odours. Very disappointed.

no good anymore

I had bought this last year to try, and it was great - clumped well, covered odours... when I bought a replacement, it was a totally different story. It does not clump at all - each pellet just swells up a bit and breaks in half. Odour control is OK but why spend this much on something that doesn't do what it's supposed to??

I wish I could rate "-5"⭐

I've never thought I would rate Nature gold one star. I've been using it for 5 years and it was brilliant for my Siamese twins until last two bags. It does not clump, the pellets size is huge, and it does stink after kitties done #1. I've noticed that twins not really keen to use the litter boxes with Nature gold since the litter formula has been changed. It's not economical either. I'm incredibly disappointed.

Turns To Dust & Causes Respiratory Issues

The formula for this cat litter has changed, it is much more dustier than it use to be which is noticeable as you empty the bag into the tray. The litter clumps, although not aswell as it use to but also breaks down into dust over time. This dust is irratating my cat nasal passage as she digs into it & i find her sneezing & coughing now. I have to keep sifting thru it to scoop out the dust build up over time. I would avoid this litter if your cat starts sneezing or has asthma.

Please change back to previous formula

Disappointed in last batch I bought, formula has changed and is no longer the great product it was. Can’t face the search for a new litter, please give us the old product we know and love.

Very good product

My Ragdoll cat leaves very little of this litter on the carpet. I have floor cushioning where my cat litter box is located but I do have a piece of carpet in front of the litter box so I don't get litter on the hard floor. It clumps together so is easy to remove, there is no smell from the litter box. I recommend this product, it is economical to use.

Now a waste of money

What on earth has happened to this cat litter, it was the only one I was able to use that didn't track . Now it doesn't clump properly and I have the hoover out twice a day, as it is tracking everywhere and turning to sawdust full stop utter waste of money has anybody got a suggestion for an alternative for long haired cats that doesn't track?

Why has it changed??

Like other reviewers, I have ben using this product for some time (6 years). It was by far the best litter for long haired cats. The new 'rebranded litter" is so inferior. It doesn't clump properly anymore and turns to powder quickly which ends up tracking everywhere! I am desperately seeking a replacement!

Why oh why.....

This product used to be the best in my opinion but I'm afraid like so many things nowadays it has been changed but not for the better. If you feel the need to offer a pellet litter could you not offer both and let us choose? Sorry but after years of use I won't be using it

Why have you changed the product !

I have been using this litter for many years with no problems. However recently noticed there has been a change of packaging and also a change in the size of the pellets. I buy this product as I have 4 Longhaired Persians and they didn’t get stuck in the paws resulting in Little tracking. I have now noticed a steady stream of pellets making there way up the stair carpet. This litter is way more expensive than the normal Cats best and I am afraid I will have to look at an alternative.

Not as good as it used to be...... Why?

I have used this litter for a very long time. After having tried many, many different litters, this one was without doubt the best of them all. Pricier than some, much better than the tiny granules of other clumping litters. I have recommended it to so many people. It is with great disappointment that it seems something has changed . Although still good at odour control and tracking , it does not clump anywhere near as well as it used to. Where I used to easily be able to take the clumps out, now it crumbles and you spend ages trying to remove the left over bits. Please whatever you have changed, change it back to how it used to be.... I am almost getting to the point of looking at other litters 😞

It has changed for the worse

I have been buying this litter for several years, it USED to be good, clumped well, firm pellets that would just roll along the floor and easy to sweep up. It became 'out of stock' a few months ago and when it came back I bought it again. It has changed, it dissolves into a mush in the tray, has much less clumping ability and the patches of wet litter just fall apart on the scoop. It is much more like sawdust and the quality is as poor as the OKO Plus which is now absolute rubbish.

Very little tracking and dust

After trying numerous cat litters, I found this to be by the best for minimal tracking and dust whilst being effective at clumping. World's Best is better at clumping but only because there is more dust to help with the process and I'd rather not have the dust blowing around and my cat sneezing!

Change it back!

This used to be the best litter for clumping, odour control, and tracking. I've used it for several years. Whilst it is still great for odour control and tracking, the way this product has been made has clearly changed and it doesn't clump as well. This means it is no longer easy to remove from the litter box. Now trying out other products. I hope the manufacturer change the litter back to how it used to be, it is not longer good value for money or effective as a clumping litter.

Something has changed

I last bought this litter in March and it used to be great until it went out of stock for a long spell....BUT when it came back into stock something has changed with this litter which is really disappointing. Whilst it doesn't trail across the floor after my cat exits her litter box, the clumping of this litter is not what it used to be. It now seems to break up when trying to empty it. I seem to be using so much more of this stuff for this reason. Really disappointing, why fix something that isn't broken. This used to be the best litter, I've been using it for 14 years or so but I am beginning to think about putting myself through the trauma of trying alternate makes.

Something has changed and not for the good

I thought I had found the perfect cat litter last year. The formulae has changed recently as the litter no longer clumps as good as it used to and when it does it crumbles into small pieces which takes a very long time to attempt to scoop away. As a result I end up throwing away alot of the litter. I do not mind paying a premium price for a premium product, but this is no longer the case as I have got better results from cheaper supermarket brands. On the search for another cat litter now.

The best litter by far

This litter is perfect for our two indoor cats as there is absolutely no tracking round the house and the clumping aspect is really effective which reduces a lot of wastage when cleaning out the litter trays. The secret is to let the clumps harden slightly before removing them which prevents them falling apart. The price is definitely worth it.

Best I've Found

I have 2 indoor cats one with long hair. This litter makes very little mess and absorbs wetness and stalls very well. It's flushable too so win win.

Happy Ragdoll

Have tried all types of cat litter. This is by far the best for my ragdoll and me! She is happy using it and it doesn't trail all-round the house, doesn't stick to her long fur, no horrible smells and lasts a long while, I do take the lumps out daily. Have been ordering from Zooplus for a few years they have always been very quick to deliver, very happy with them, never had any problems, and will definitely be ordering from them again.

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!
