MY CAT REACTED VERY BADLY TO THIS LITTER
I normally use the UNscented Professional Classic litter for my twin black girl indoor cats. I liked it for all the reasons mentioned by other reviewers on this site but because the unscented was out of stock, I purchased the scented version instead.
The baby powder scent smelt unpleasantly strong and Bracken and Pippin seemed hesitant at first to enter their covered litter trays with the new litter. But they are very clean little cats and used the litter trays as normal.
Over the next month I noticed both cats vomited a few times - not always hairballs - so this was not normal for them. Pippin gradually grew listless and retiring, choosing to spend time on her own grooming herself instead of wanting to play. Disconcertingly, she started shrinking away when I tried to stroke her.
To cheer Pippin up I brushed her, which she loves. But when she rolled over onto her back I was horrified to find that her undercarriage from tail base to centre of tummy and down the inside of her back legs was totally BALD and PINK instead of black and furry.
The baldness had only occurred since using the scented litter. The pattern and appearance of the baldness, plus her grooming behaviour, suggested that Pippin had been licking (I guessed to remove the scented litter residue from her fur where it came in contact with the litter).
I rushed out immediately and bought a paper-based, unscented litter to replace the Professional Classic scented, thinking to monitor Pips for a couple of days before calling the vet. She seemed much happier pretty much from the word go and stopped over-grooming straight away.
10 days later neither cat has been sick since the new litter was installed. Pippin is back to her playful and affectionate self and her undercarriage has grown an even sheen of new black fur.
The paper based litter works fine from my perspective as cat toilet servant - no odour, easy to clean, very little tracking. My babies happiness, health and wellbeing is paramount. I will never ever buy ANY scented litter again and intend to stick to the unscented, more allergy-friendly ones from now on.

Happy cats and happy people
Just received my Professional Classic Cat litter, having seen it on YouTube (Cats Best oko Plus Cat Litter Comparison! )
My two cats took to it immediately. Even my 10 yr old siamese who preferred to go outside is now using it. It is smells lovely, is like fine sand and it is easy to sift out the clumps. Both cats and people are delighted with this cat litter.

BABY POWDER *STINK* NOT SCENT
The "baby powder" scent from this litter is overwhelming. I live in a flat and every time the cat uses her tray it's not an issue of pee or solid smells, it's the actual powder scent that overwhelms the place. It stinks to high heavens and has woken me up during the night! The cat stinks of it for an hour after she's used the tray. If you have any kind of delicate sense of smell, avoid like the plague.It is not a fresh, clean powder scent, it is overly sweet, dusty, cloying and awful.
Having said that, buy the non-scented version of this same litter and it is FANTASTIC! I've worked out that the best way to use it and get the most from the litter is to 1. use a deep tray and fill it with at least two thirds of the bag, probably at least 15cm/6 inches thick. This way, the wet solidifies before it ever reaches the bottom of the tray, leaving a solid lump in the litter which is very easy to scoop. 2. Very important, use a very fine litter scoop, the white fine mesh scoop on this site is perfect. This makes the biggest difference as it filters out ALL the little soiled bits that otherwise sneak back into the clean litter. So your litter is constantly clean if you scoop it well. 3. Scoop each day. If you follow these directions, you barely ever need to empty the tray to wash it, or throw away any litter. Just top the litter up as it goes down a bit. One bag of this litter lasts my cat 3 months, staying fresh all the way through.

AT LAST!!!
Wow, I've bought every cat litter on the market virtually over the last 30 yrs & this has got to be the BEST yet! I obviously clear out any mess & clumps that they make or occur but I haven't had to clean the tray out in 3 weeks, may sound bad but really it isn't! I usually clean my 2 cats tray out at least once a week because of the intense smell of cat urine, it's seriously strong even though they have both been done many years ago & I go through a 30L sack of 'other' cat litter in about 4-6wks! Not got enough room to have 2 trays unfortunately. This litter is excellent, doesn't smell at all & although a large outlay at first is quite economical really. I've used half a bag in 3wks for my 2 cats. Only gripe I do have is it's a bit messy when it's trodden out of the tray but I can live with that! I'll never buy a different cat litter again, so PLEASE Zooplus, DO NOT EVER RUN OUT OR STOP SELLING IT! :D

OK
I decided to try this litter after reading all of the good reviews... unfortunately I'll be going back to using Worlds Best(despite the higher price). This litter clumps like concrete! It's really hard to get off the sides of the tray (one of my two Birmans always wee's up the side of the tray) and the baby powder scent is ok to start with but it gets a bit too much after a while.

I don't usually write on review pages, but, believe me I had to give my opinion after trying this litter, it is one of best cat litters I have used for my cats, the smell after the cats have used it, is no more noticeable, I do a scoop out every evening which is so much easier due to the great way it clumps and the litter stays fresh for up to 3 weeks, it took me a bit of getting used to not having to do a complete change every other day, honestly it's amazing!! And there's no tracking of litter around the house! Overall a great product, don't be put off on the price believe me it's value for money as you don't get through as much as you would with a cheaper brand!

Excellent litter
Have been using this since last September, came recommended by our Gas man, who, you've guessed it, had to do work in our cupboard where the cat litter is!! Haven't looked back and buy 2 bags which does my 3 cats about 3 months using 2 large litter trays. Scoopy daily, and you will notice a difference. Well worth the money. xx

Super cat litter
This cat litter if fantastic, my cat is indoors all the time so needed something clean and tidy. It is brilliant, you don't use loads like ordinary cat litter. Because it clumps all you need to do is remove the clumps which also means the cat tray doesn't get all mucky and smelly. The baby powder smell is quite delicate so keeps yr room smelling nice and not of cat wee. I bought 2 bags a few months ago and am still on first one as you don't need to keep changing just topping up.good value for money and I will be ordering again. I use in the corner cat tray which is great.

clumping litter
This stuff is amazing. I've used it for over 6 months and can't tell you how good it is. Definate must buy especially if you have more than one moggy...all my cats use it and it's easy to clean!

Best Litter I have used!!!!
I love this cat litter. Having tried every cat litter under the sun I came across this one. I actually like the smell of baby powder on my cats! I have 2 indoor cats and 2 trays. This is the only litter that I can honestly say I can't smell urine from!! It clumps very well so you can just scoop the lumps that they have urinated on out.

Truly impressive stufff!
Bought this after using the chalky white litter which is good but my supermarket stopped selling it. Then found out about clumping cat litter and saw a review for it on youtube and thought I have to try this stuff.
So here's my view on this stuff......
Positives:
-Very very good at clumping. I have a siv to change the tray with so is easier for me and I have two cats so I do change it every day but compared to other litters this stuff is amazing. I would highly recommend it because it completely cuts out the smell. Usually the cats would do a poo and the smell would spread into the livingroom and linger for around 10 minutes and that's with opening the windows aswell. But now the smell never ever comes into the livingroom which for me is revolutionary and also I might add that I live in a small flat.
-Doesn't smell ever and I can now close the windows throughout the day when its cold because used to keep them open during the day because when I would return after work the flat would smell of cat litter even although I change it every day...revolutionary
-is not so apparent on the floor after they've used it compared to the chalky white stuff I was using.
-despite being expensive it does last longer than most other cat litters.
Negatives:
-Very heavy the 15kg bags. I struggle to lift and pour it in to their trays the first time.
-sick of the smell of baby powder on the cats fur....so would buy the stuff next time without the baby powder in it.

The best in the market!
Smells really nice, clumps very well, no dust, my cat loves it. No more nasty smells in the house.

recommend to all!
with 2 cats, you can expect cat litter doesn't last too long with us. I've been through lots of different brands, even store brand and none were fitting the bill. Then I came across this brand and thought I'd give it a try. It's tiny granules, no dust, smells lovely and even when a cat does a no.2, it doesn't leave a nasty lingering smell. It clumps well and is generally, an all rounder for cat litter. I won't be using any other brand from now!

Will never go back
I have been using this cat litter for just under a year now and I will never go back to another brand. It smells lovely and my cats (3) love it. It clumps up their wees so they are easy to remove from the litter tray. I always buy 2 packs a month as it is good value.

Can't beat it! So much more economical than the rest.
This product has saved my relationship with my housemates! It is so easy to remove the clumps leaving behind what looks like a freshly cleaned litter tray. And it actually smells nice when you are doing it!
