AI-generated summary based on reviews added by customers
This cat litter has its fans, with some praising its clumping ability and odor control. However, many users found it tracks all over the house, sticking to paws and requiring constant cleaning. Some cats even refused to use it, and others noted a change in formula making it messy and hard to clean. Despite this, a few still appreciate its eco-friendly nature and long-lasting qualities.

Used to be good
I have used this litter for years and loved it. Somehow since last year, it has not been the same. Bad tracking and dusty. Clumping not as good as it used to be either. Not quite sure what happened.

Overall good
I am happy with the overall result of this litter.
It is eco friendly and and the clumping and odor control was good. (Although not as good as bentonite litters).
It was not dusty and I would say the only downside is the tracking - but hey, I have a cat so that's part of the deal :-)
Best of the best
Kills smell perfectly, can easy clean everything

Kgs and lts
Careful with measurements
40 litres is actually 17,2kgs and so on.
Website should put the description really clear.
Excellent all-round eco-friendly litter but lots of tracking
I purchased this product because I was looking for an eco-friendly litter and this one had excellent reviews. I have tried several other variations of non-clay litters including Sanicat Corn Clumping Cat litter and World's Best (neither of which were great). This one has EXCELLENT oder control, better than any other litter I have used. However, the one downside is that it does track everywhere (although tracking is better than Sanicat). Otherwise, this is an excellent eco-friendly option.
Amazing
Absolutely fantastic! Easy to clean and great quality.

Doesn't clump and tracks everywhere
This litter forms very loose clumps which crumble apart if you're not careful. It's also very dusty and tracks everywhere. My cat which loves to dig comes out of the litter box all dusty, which doesn't happen with the smart pellet litter I use in the other tray. At least it doesn't smell.

Makes it easy to clean the litter box
I located the cat litter in the bathroom, and this product is convenient because it allows me to throw the stool in the toilet (for the weekly change, I throw it in the garbage).
It is very comfortable to remove the poop; because of the pee "wet balls" been formed often so I remove them daily.
The huge benefit of this litter is that I can drain it in the toilet, so as to get rid of odors quickly.
It's is also very light, also! I don't struggle as I did with normal sand.

Used to be brilliant, now useless
This cat litter WAS fantastic. The most recent bag was quite different - much larger pellets which I initially thought would be great as less likely to track out of the litter box. The problem is the product does not clump AT ALL any longer. It just dissolves into sawdust which then contaminates the rest of the litter. It also smells, which it never did before. Won't be buying again, particularly as I emailed the manufacturer to see if I had just got a faulty batch and they didn't even reply.

What does it weigh?
I've used this litter for some time now; I have 2 Maine Coons so long haired and altho it tracks a little mostly when they cover up and some goes outside the tray but it doesn't get caught in their coats I find there is very little wastage; when you lift out the clumps. My problem is - I order 20 litres and get 8.5 kilos I really don't understand this; I checked on line kilos to litres and it tells me 1 litre = 1 kilo

New Recipe is inferior to the original
this was a 5 star product until they changed to a new receipe.
the new receipe tends to go way to dusty and appears smaller which makes cleaning much harder.
their other product the pellet version we tried but is also a new receipe and is thinner and doesn't clump at all.
I don't normally write reviews but I feel so disappointed.
Does not do a job anymore.
Ordered litter as usual, the last order I have noticed some changes to the product structure but it was nothing major. This time, unfortunately it does not clump !! It sticks together like hard paddle. Also pellets or how to name it with this products are bigger so maybe that is one of the reason? I'm not happy at all and still one big bag has left .

The best
Just the best. It smells fresh until the full change and even then its not a horrible smell. It does track, but all cat litters do.One 20l bag lasts my 2indoors about a month if not more. The urine doesn't seep to the bottom like other litters do. I can be safe thinking about my cats' nose/lungs. One of my cat is asthmatic and using this litter has been one of the things that has helped to improve her breathing. Yes, its the best.

No more sneezing!!!
My beautiful Maxy has serious allergy issues. I rescued her from Cyprus as a kitten. She was found in a box with 3 other of her siblings that sadly had passed away from a horrible feline disease but my Maxy was a survivor. She had such advanced disease that she lost her eyes. She now suffers from serious allergies and almost every kind of litter makes her congested but FINALLY I have found a litter that works for her. No more sneezy kitty!!!
Excellent Litter, Using less than my old brand of Litter 👍🏻
Can’t fault it, best Litter I have brought 🐱🐱👌🏻
Clumps well but tracks so use with other litter
Been using this litter for a while with our DSH cat and not much tracking until we bought our 6 month old Mainecoon kitten who's very furry tail and paws were tracking litter all over the house! I then bought a 10L pack of Breeder Celect paper litter to try (http://www.petsathome.com ). Sprinkled a thin layer of the recycled paper litter on top of the ‘Cats Best’ litter and both work well -very little if any tracking and great clumping. No odours, we clean daily and replenish fortnightly.
great cat litter
Looked for an alternative litter when my supermarket discontinued their own brand wood pellet litter. This is expensive but because liquids clump together and are easily removed it can be used for weeks & doesn't smell at all. I wouldn't risk flushing down the toilet but compost the used litter when changing.The only downside is it sometimes sticks to paws and gets scattered but this was mostly solved by using a hooded tray and I feel is a small inconvenience compared to the effectiveness.

Super dusty
I really enjoyed that this litter is biodegradable, smells quite nice and at first it is of a good consistency, but after as soon as a couple of days it splits into very tiny particles, dust is everywhere and I have to clean the floor several times in a day.
Messy
This litter is not totally terrible. It clumps nicely. I've seen worse. But it's so light that it gets stuck to cat's paws and furr and gets everywhere. Half of my house is covered in it every tim the cat uses it. Benek is so much better.
Clumps well but tracks
Have been using this for our DSH for over a year and not spotted any major issues until we got a long haired cat and this litter tracks everywhere, gets into his paws, his tail etc.
On the plus side it does clump well if you leave it for a while and is easy to scoop out -not to heavy.

Everything's fine
After reading the reviews, I went with another brand, but I came back and it turned out the reviews were lying. It clumps nicely, the cats like it, there are no problems with it, it doesn’t create dust, and it doesn’t hurt their paws.

Lower quality
I've been using this litter for 4 years, and it was the best quality-wise. I never even tried to compare the price because it suited my needs perfectly.
But the last two bags just aren't the same, it doesn't clump anymore, the litter just spreads everywhere. I'll give it another month, but unfortunately I'll have to give it up.
I have 5 cats -> 3 litter boxes, and cleaning has become more tiring and less efficient.

I'm disappointed with the cat litter
Hello, I've been using this cat litter for over 14 years. Since my last order, I'm really disappointed. The clumps are soaked all the way to the bottom. The clumps are way bigger than I've ever seen before. Obviously, a lot more litter is needed now. Has the product been changed or is it a production error with this batch?

Terrible
I've been using it for a long time, but lately it's gotten worse and worse. It creates a lot of dust, and the litter itself falls apart. I won't buy it again. Very disappointed, the same thing happens with the food—it crumbles. I'm thinking about buying elsewhere. The quality leaves a lot to be desired.

Terrible!
What a terrible cat litter! It's incredibly dusty! My cat comes out of the litter box short of breath and coughing. The whole house is covered in a white haze. Whenever I scoop the box, a cloud of dust hangs in the air. I've tried many types of litter, but this one is by far the worst.

Worsened quality
The granules have changed to being big and sharp, so now my cats don’t like using the litter box filled with this litter anymore. Even when you step on it yourself, it’s really uncomfortable, so imagine how it feels for a cat’s paws. It’s a pity, because it used to be great.

Has gotten very bad
I've been using this litter for almost 10 years, but the last 3 batches have been a disaster. It smells terrible. I even contacted Cats Best to ask why, but they just said they hadn't changed anything. It's a shame they don't take this seriously.

Totally gone downhill
I've been using this cat litter since 2020, basically since I got my cats. It was recommended to me and I was absolutely thrilled with it. But for several weeks or even months now, I've noticed that it doesn't clump well at all, and the worst part for me is that it starts to smell bad really quickly!! I never had this problem with the litter before. It's such a shame because it's really hard to find a new, good litter.

Very practical, my cats like it
It's really practical for cleaning, since you can put the clumped pee straight into the toilet. After a few minutes, the pee dries and forms a ball, making it easy to remove. My two cats use it without any issues.

Change in composition?
I've been using this cat litter for over a year now for my three Maine Coons and I was always super happy with it. The new bag I ordered now is useless. All the clumps from the pee fall apart straight away when I scoop and end up scattered all over the litter box. Really annoying. I'd like to know if the formula has changed or if it's still the same and I just got unlucky with my 40-litre bag.

Disappointment
Years ago, this was good litter, but the problem is it isn’t anymore. The quality has dropped a lot, it doesn’t even clump or anything now. You’ve lost a customer who used to buy this litter for years, but I just can’t put up with it anymore. Not giving it another chance, it’s terrible, honestly don’t buy it. Anything is better than this.

No longer clumps together
I ordered for the second time and Cats Best Original no longer has the same composition. Basically, it's just sawdust, which stays as sawdust even after the cats do their business.
It doesn't form clumps anymore.

Very good litter!
Having tried dozens, this one is in our top 3! It's economical and absorbent, and it doesn't turn into powder when the cats pee. That means the whole tray doesn't get dirty, which is much nicer for both the little ones and the humans! As for the litter, it doesn't get stuck between the cats' paw pads. A must-have!
On the delivery side, the order even arrived a day early (ordered Wednesday around 10pm, delivered Friday at 12pm with no extra charge), absolutely brilliant!

No longer good quality
After using a different litter for a while, I wanted to try Öko Best again. Unfortunately, the clumping quality of this litter has noticeably worsened. It does produce less dust now, but it hardly clumps at all anymore. It's a shame, I won't be buying it again.

Delighted
I haven’t found a better litter than this one! It’s way cheaper than at the pet shops near me (about €12 less), so even with shipping costs I’m still saving money…
