Stinky and Messy
This litter stinks before its even been used and once its been urinated on - yes it clumps BUT it also leaves a sticky wet clay mess on the litter box!

Terrible smell after a day
Just tried this cat litter after trying 3 others, it’s the worst by far, started it yesterday and today the room it’s in has a hideous smell despite cleaning it multiple times today. Can’t wait to get rid of it!

Updated packaging now dreadful
This review relates to the new packaging. It is simply not strong enough to handle the 12kg weight, and bag rips open across top when you lift with the handles. This is a recent issue - plastic used seems more brittle than previously.
Love the litter, hate the new packaging, star rating is for packaging alone.
Used to get brilliant now awful 😖
Used to clump perfectly and not track much. Now it doesn't clump well and tracks a lot. Won't be buying again.
Too dusty, waste of money
Waste of money
New Formula is Awful
This used to be a fantastic litter, nice fine pellets and minimal dustiness and clumped really well. However the last few bags have a different formulation that is gritty, dusty and does not hold clumps at all. It's a shame because this used to be an excellent litter for a very good price. Will not be buying again unless formulation changes back.

It used to be brilliant - they changed the packaging and the contents and now it is awful!
The new format is dreadful. The packaging uses much thicker plastic which makes it harder to open and seal close. And you REALLY need to seal it closed if there is any moisture in the air where you're using that packet because the contents are not the same as the original - the new formulation appears to be very hygroscopic (it attracts moisture) which means that the clumps, instead of being easily scoopable hard balls, are soft and crumbly and really messy to deal with. Won't buy again!
Worst litter ever
I purchased this as I wanted to try clumping litter again for our kittens.
Big mistake, once wet, this clumps into a solid mess on the bottom of the tray. You can't get this from off the bottom of the tray unless you scrape it off. Even after removal, the tray is just a mess. Going forward, I will stick to my usual non clumping wood litter. Goodbye Tigerino.
Weakest of the Brand
Ive tried all versions of Tigerino & Sensitive is the weakest of the brand, poor odour control, absorbency and it dosent clump well, rather turns into a urine soaked wet sticky clay. The amount/depth dosent seem to change this feature. This is used in a litter box that is scooped several times a day so there is no other excuse, other than poor quality performance.
Worst litter ever
Tracked everywhere, would clump and get stuck on my cats butthole etc and would have a strong smell. It would also clump onto my cats paws and solidify :((( my poor babies

Ghastly stuff
Makes the most appalling mess as my cats tread damp sand - which is what it is like - through the house. Can't say that 'clumping ' is a very accurate description. I ended up throwing it away. Not impressed!
Formula changed, now has masking scent
I'm so thoroughly disappointed. We have been using this litter for years and their formula has now changed to include a masking scent. I'm severely allergic to fragrance so this caused me a serious reaction. This should have been clearly indicated on the package.

Not dust free at all litter
Very disappointed. One of the worst for dust. All over my floor. Pouts out when you tip the litter in. A cloud of dust which gets in my chest and my poor cats. Highly do not recommend.
I’m yet to find a litter that claims 99% dust free to be as it claims.

Messy mud
I don’t understand how people rate this 5 stars. It makes a messy mud in the tray that’s impossible to get out and it sticks to the paws. Absolutely awful!
Worst litter ever
I’ve tried a couple of other Tigerino litters and though they were fine, they weren’t excellent. Being on the never ending quest to find the ultimate litter solution, I tried this. One 1 word can describe it: diabolical!
Within a day my entire house smelled so bad, I could even smell it upstairs. They cat litter boxes are kept in a separate room with entry via a cat flap - that how far the smell travelled. It was unbearable. Whilst the clumping and dust issues were ok, the smell was unliveable.

Bad litter
Yes, doesn’t smell but I found it very difficult to remove from the litter tray, it is stuck . Clumps ok but not perfect, won’t buy again!

Stuck to back paws.
Chose this because of all the great reviews. I wish I could return this litter, after one use by my cat, all the litter is stuck to his back paws. I have two bags of this and can't use anymore of it.

Terrible
It forms a sticky paste, gets the paws dirty and sticks to the pads. Hard to clean.

A complete disaster
I bought it because I read it was one of the most recommended. But it’s been a total letdown. It doesn’t clump well and definitely doesn’t absorb odours. From the very first use, the litter looks dirty and smells like pee or poo from a distance.

Sensitive (parfümfrei)
Quality not as usual anymore
I've been using this cat litter for years. However, something must have changed a lot since the last delivery. The litter starts to smell after a very short time and the cats don't like going in anymore. Such a shame. I used to like buying it and was very satisfied. 😔

Terrible quality
The quality has dropped a lot. I used to only buy this litter, but now it's really bad. It doesn't clump well, creates loads of dust, and the smell of ammonia from the urine is unbearable. Such a shame.

Be very careful!!!
Please be very careful—I found a piece of glass about 1cm long inside one of the bags, which I think is extremely serious!!!
Also, the sand is not extra fine as described, but actually has large grains!!

Sensitive (hajustamaton)
What happened to this sand?
I've been using this cat litter for years and recommended it to all cat owners because it clumped well, didn't create dust, and kept odours under control. But now the quality has dropped so much that I had to switch brands and order cat litter from somewhere else. There's only one cat in the household, but the flat smells like cat pee after just three days, even though I clean the clumps morning and evening. It's really disappointing.

Negative.
My cat had an allergic reaction to this litter: he lost the fur on his back legs and tail, had severe itching, red patches, and visible flakes. I had to urgently switch to another litter, and he's been much better since.

Unacceptable drop in quality
I've been buying this litter for several months and I can confirm what the recent reviews say: the quality has really gone downhill. My last order was in August 2026: the litter no longer clumps and it leaves smells. My cat doesn't want to use it anymore. You need a lot more than before for less effectiveness, and it needs changing much more often. I'm going to switch brands and suppliers. Unacceptable.

Quality has become disastrous
I left a 3-star review a few months ago. I've been buying this litter for years, but the quality has gotten shockingly worse, especially since the start of the year. My last order was on 07/08, and the quality dropped again—the grains are coarse, it creates loads of dust, doesn't trap odours anymore, and doesn't clump well, so you end up using way more for less effectiveness. I'll have to find another one now.

Rubbish
Very poor quality litter, the urine doesn't clump at all and just crumbles, so it ends up smelling awful. I'm going to switch brands, even though I used to buy this one in pink.

Good morning, I'm disappointed... it used to be nice and compact, made lovely firm clumps and the litter in the tray stayed nice and dry, but now it falls apart easily 😖😖😖

Sensitive (parfümfrei)
Quality has declined
I've been using this litter for years and was always very happy with it... but now it's suddenly darker in colour, doesn't clump properly anymore, and everything smells strongly of urine. It wasn't like this before... It's a shame that a good product, which was bought for a long time, has been ruined like this... and now I have to look for something new again. That's how you lose loyal customers too.

It used to be amazing, no dust and perfect clumping. Now it clumps less and less, and after the first wee the litter is already dirty.

Sensitive (parfümfrei)
Quality has dropped significantly
I agree with some of the previous reviewers. The quality has really gone downhill. You can already see it in the colour. Instead of a nice white, it's now greyish-green. Okay, colour isn't necessarily a sign of quality. But even the features I used to appreciate, like strong odour control and firm clumping, are no longer there. I won't put my cats through this anymore. If you browse online, you'll find more and more complaints about declining quality in products from Matina GmbH.

Change in quality
I used to love this litter for almost 5 years, but what a disappointment—its quality has really gone downhill. It’s no longer clumping at all, the smell is strong, and it’s become very dusty.
I have no choice but to switch brands because it just doesn’t work for my cats anymore.

Mediocre quality
I've been ordering this litter for years, but for the past few months the quality has been poor. It doesn't clump anymore, so I almost have to throw out all the litter every time. A 3-month supply was used up in just one month!

Quality has dropped dramatically
The quality of the sand and packaging has totally gone downhill:
1. All the packages tore open inside the box while I was taking the product out
2. The sand doesn’t clump like it used to, it all just mixes together and is completely dirty now
