Tried it but went back to woodbased litter
This litter was my first try with silicate litters for my two longhaired cats and it was not a success. The crystals got stuck in their fur, ending up around the flat. One of my cats started to get sneezing fits from this, had never had them before. It's very dusty. This is the main reason I stopped using the product, I was concerned it would end up in her lungs. Also, found that it didn't keep the smell away after a while, and didn't last as long as my usual Cat's Best Smart Pellets.

Something has changed and it’s awful
I used to use the stuff religiously and found it was exceptional at odour control and absorption however when I bought it a few months ago the smell and rate it absorbed urine was horrendous. I put it down to a bad batch and switched to the tigerino clumping clay which was amazing. The problem with the clay is that it tracks around the house and creates other issues and so recently tried the silica gel again but I found the same problems. It seems that tigerino have changed it for the worse

First try with Silica litter, cats like it.
I've nearly always used Nature's Gold clumping litter for my 2 longhaired cats but thought I'd try this litter on special deal. I left one litter tray with Nature's Gold, and put this silica litter in the other one.
I have the Modkat litter boxes so needed couple or three bags to fill up enough in the tray. At first only one of the cats would try it, after a day or two. Now she only uses this new litter and the other cat has also started preferring this. Keeps smells down, but is quite dusty.

Does not last and pools
I wanted to try an alternative to clumping as I was having issues with it sticking to the tray. The trial went well taking two weeks to cut over from clumping. However one of the cats has started urinating outside the box. 3 days after changing the crystals he starts urinating outside. We clean solids out every day and stir the crystals but the smell of urine is extremely strong and there is excessive pooling at the bottom of the tray. Does not last the 2 weeks stated for 2 cats.

Don't buy 3.6l - it doesn't have enough litter to cover a standard tray
The litter itself is a good standard silicate litter.
I bought 2 trial bags (3.6l) to test out first. The only issue with the trial bag is it is meant for a small litter tray. It covered mine by 1cm so as soon as they use it, they've kicked the litter out the way and peed on the tray floor. You need at least the 5l bag to cover a standard sized tray and it last more than a couple of days. I've had to use both 3.6l bags in one go (costing more than if I bought one 5l bag!) so not cost effective.

good litter
very good litter, absorbs nicely and is easy to clean. lasts for long, doesn't create a lot of dust around. odour control might be improved. sometimes gets moved around on cat's paws...

Top Value for Money
We have 2 house cats and find the silica format works well from the point of view of absorbing the smell/urine and scooping out the other deposits.... this litter works just as well as any other that we've tried and is clearly a lot cheaper which ever way you look at it - per bag or per kilo... the litter usually needs changing every 6 days or so for the 2 cats...

Good stuff
Very good litter indeed!

Mostly good
Does track- as badly as clay, and still unpleasant to stand on in bare feet! Less dust than clay litter, and much preferred by our cats to the old stuff!

The Best
I have 2 indoor Ragdoll cats and have been using this litter for over 4 years. It really is the best, so absorbent, no smells and so much cleaner to use than other litters - it also saves you money as you are not having to change it as often as other litters - I can not recommend enough!

Cheap and brilliant
Was a little dubious about the claims of a month without a change for one cat at first, but my oh my you would never guess I had a "Lion in my living room" with this litter. It really does completely eliminate all odours unlike other litters that make these claims this one is true. The price is outstanding and I always get the promo deal with the food. If you want your house to smell like a house and not a litter tray then honestly this is the litter for you.

Horrible
Not dust-free as claimed - actually quite a bit of silicate dust. Some crystals break down into teeny tiny pieces which get everywhere and ingested by cat cleaning paws. Even large crystals stick to cat's paws and track. Not very absorbent - a slick of broken down urine-wet crystals on the bottom of the tray. Makes my cat sneeze. After possible allergy to this causing skin itchiness, scabbing, overgrooming and subsequent vomiting of hair and stomach irritation; switched to Bio-Catolet.

Love it.
I have 3 litter boxes, 3 cats and a 4 month kitten. I put a bag in each box fortnightly. I would be surprised if one bag would last any cat a month. I use 6 bags a month for 4 cats. That said, I love it. It's not dusty if you don't pour it in from a height. It tracks a little, but better than clay litter. None of my cats bury their poo in this, which doesn't help the smell after a poo but it soon goes. Definitely needs cleaning daily - scoop poo and mix WELL otherwise pee can pool at the bottom.

One of the best silica litters
Having used Bob Martin silica litter and a supermarket one that I suspect was the same in own packaging I discovered Tigerino. It is just as good although I take the bag outdoors and sieve the dust out before putting it in the tray. I also tried Nullodour which was awful, very fine and only lasted a few days whereas Tigerino can last a fair while depending on how many cats and trays you have.

Review of all used litters
I have a creamy Persian cat. Throughout his 3 years with me I tried the following litters:
- Applaws Nature's Calling: My favourite and best of all. Has a pleasant smell, traps odours well (but, have to admit, not so good as Cat's Best Oko Plus), clumps reliably and lasts long (I usually pour half of pack at once, so 2 packs of 6kg last for 1,5-2 months). It does track a bit though, but least of all the litters I've tried and sweeping/hoovering once or twice a week is enough. The only minus is that it colours my cat's creamy paws as it is dark brown.
- Cat's Best Oko Plus: It traps odours very well, lasts for long (similar to Applaws) and has no issues with clumping. However, this is probably the worst tracking litter I had. I had to hoover/brush twice a day as little bits stick onto cat's paws and fur and is spread everywhere at home. I didn't even use all pack, switched back to Applaws.
- Cat's Best Nature Gold: Tried once. The pellets are really large and this makes clumping not so effective. I bought it because it said that it does not stick to fur and is suitable for long haired cats. Well, those pellets did stick to my cat's fur and tracked a lot. Though it is environmentally friendly and eliminates smells for some time. But loose litter eventually becomes smelly and you have to change it.
- Porta Pine Wood: Good cat litter, would rank it 2nd after Applaws. It smells fresh and is literally dust free, leaves no visible marks. It lasts long, great odour control, clumps well and my cat loved it. However, it tracks quite badly, but not as bad as Cat's Best Oko Plus.
- Catsan Hygiene: Not good at all. Never bought again. Clumps stay wet for a long time making it difficult to remove from the box, and when they dry they glue to the box so that I had to scratch them off. Controls smell bad, tracks a bit and clumps of wet litter stick to the fur. It is dusty and caused runny eyes and sneezing to my Persian friend.
- World's Best (Green and Red): Not good. Advised by vet after using Catsan Hygiene. It is dusty and didn't improve my cat's runny eyes much. It clumps very well, tracks a bit. Though it stinks horribly, probably because loose litter eventually starts smelling. Thus, no odour control. As such I do not remember it lasting long.
- Tygerino Crystals Silicate: Used in an emergency when my order was late. Disliked bad smell. It also runs out quickly, one pack lasted for 3 days, tracks a bit.

My cats hated this
I have been on the eternal search for a cat litter for my 2 Maine Coon boys who seem to be able to spread cat litter around the house with abandon.
After reading reviews, I thought I'd give this a try and they absolutely hated it. The problem was that when they stood on it and tried to squat down to wee, it would continually move and in the end they would give up and use the Cats's best Nature Gold I had in the other trays. In the space of a week they used it twice and therefore it was a complete fail in my household.
May be better suited to light cats and not large heffalumps!

The best cat litter
This is the best silica cat litter I have found. It lasts much longer than the brands I have bought from supermarkets and pet stores and it is very good at combatting litter tray smells.
You do need to rake the litter through each day to stop pooling.

excellent
This is the best litter I have used in years. I would definitely recommend it.

No smell, super absorbant FANTASTIC!!
have been using this for over a month now with 2 cats after using wood pellets for a long time. our cats are house cats and its very important we dont have smells. I just scoop the poop out with a nappy sack and brush any spillage with a dustpan and brush. Only just opened the second bag of 6 that I ordered!! very cost effective also!!
