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.

It's so messy
The cat litter itself works well. But I have never had such a messy cat litter in my life! This tracked all over the house, even to the third story bedroom. We didn't even finish the bag because it was so messy.
All over the house
Very positive: No smell!
But it used to be better, maybe they have a new formula. It sticks to the cat’s paws and is all over the house.
Wet sweeping the floor makes it worse. It gets slippery.

Tracks everywhere
I find that this does control odors, it clumps well and I love that it is made from renewable resources. The biggest problem is that this litter ends up all over the house and I don't think a different mat will make a difference.
No smell but doesn't agglomerate well
The smell is perfect as after a week (clean the litter every day), you don't smell anything.
However it doesn't agglomerate well so litter is spreading everywhere

Too much batch variation
My cats like this because it's light and easy to dig in, and it doesn't hurt their paws, or get stuck really.
I like it much better than sticky clay litter, but the 3 stars are because I agree with other reviewers who say it has disimproved - more dust, smaller particles and less coverage, therefore more odour throughout the house after use.
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.
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.

what a mess
It clumps well but I have to keep brushing the floor every time the cats use the tray as the chips get caught in the cat's fur and they trace it around the house.

Tracks but biodegradable and flushable!
This tracks everywhere, but we’re going to stick to this brand because it’s so important that we have litter that can easily be flushed especially since we live in a tiny apartment. The smell of poo is pretty strong in the first few minutes after the cat goes but after that, there is no smell. Clumps well.

Its changed
I have used this for years . Last order there is a slight difference to it . Not only the name change but the litter itself . Litter seems slightly larger , not so fine as it was. I will buy another to try but if same Ill be changing. Please go back to what it was, smaller granules and less tracking.

Not as good as it was..
I used to use this in the past, and recently ordered, but it has changed, and I don't like it as it seems like cork and doesn't clump as well as it used to.. Please change it to the way it used to be!

Tracks all over the apartment
I have been using this cat litter with my short haired ginger - Jesse - for over two years now. I love it, specially because it's biodegradable and I can simply flush it down the toilet. But OMG, it tracks everywhere! I have to hoover the apartment almost every day. We're giving it one last chance, because we really like it (keeps odour at bay and clumps well) but dust it produces and having these little bits scattered all over the place outweighs the pros. If you don't mind hoovering everyday..

love the litter but not for my furry Ragdoll.
What a shame! The litter itself was brilliant but had to stop using it after only 2 days as it set into my Ragdolls fur. His lovely belly fuzz was covered and it set in there like concrete, so He wasn't best pleased when we had to cut it alll out! i would still recommend it but for kitties only.

Something's changed?
I used to love this litter and put up with the tracking because the odour control was excellent and it was very economical. Unfortunately the last two bags I got don't seem to be as good. The odour control hasn't been a good which I think is because it's not clumping as well and turning to sawdust very quickly. I have an XL tray and when your having to empty and refill such a big tray every week it gets costly! I hope you fix so I can come back to this brand!

Doesn't clump very well
Get rid of the smell really good and I prefer plant based cat litter.
However it tracks a lot and doesn't clump properly which become really messy when I try to scoop out my cat urine.
It is really wired that the clumping power is more powerful for the 10l bag and the 40l bag is not that good.

FANTASTIC LONGEVITY BUT AWFUL TRACKING
A friend recommended this litter as I have 7 cats. I have been really impressed by how much longer this litter lasts when compared to all others I have used. However there is a huge downside - it gets tracked by the cats EVERYWHERE! I have capture mats by each litter tray but it doesn't stop them tracking the litter all over the house. Sadly I will be going back to my old style litter (crystals) which don't last half as long as Oko, but stays were it should be.

tracks
Odor control and clumping are ok, but it tracks all over the place. I'm tired of cleaning it up every day,so no more Oko
Traces a lot :(
I've used this litter for years since it's flushable, but it traces a lot :( And since it's very light my cats play with it non-stop building Egyptian pyramids in their litter boxes, mixing up clean litter with dirty parts. And the clumps don't stay well intact in many cases.
Hope it's ok to write this here, but I just recently switched to Super Benek - and am fully in love with it. So sorry, Oko Plus, have to stop buying this litter.

Practical but very dusty
Lightweight litter, very absorbent and does a good job masking odours, but it creates a lot of dust...

My cats didn't like the product at all. Maybe it's the smell?

Something's happened…
I used to be delighted with this litter because it clumped well and produced very little dust. But now the litter ends up all over the house and the pee doesn't clump into balls like it used to—it just falls apart and spreads throughout the litter, which means it starts to smell unbearable much sooner than before... Really disappointing...

Texture not suitable for my cat
After trying out several types of litter, I thought this one might be perfect. Clumping, odour control, biodegradable... everything seemed great, except my cat doesn’t seem to like it. The result: pee on the bed, on clothes, next to the litter box. At some point, these aren’t accidents anymore, but calculated surgical strikes! So now I have to get rid of the remaining 15 kg I bought with so much hope...
What a shame!

Great at first, but worse than Smart Pellets in direct comparison
We’ve been using this litter for a long time and were always satisfied, except for the tracking. Then we tried the Smart Pellets version from Cat’s Best, and it’s much better in direct comparison. One of our cats has finally started digging again—in the past, she would just jump straight out—and there’s not as much litter being tracked out. Plus, it’s much easier to sweep away five pellets than loads of tiny crumbs. The original is very fine and dusty, so we’ve now switched, even though it’s more expensive.

Something went wrong
I've been buying this litter for a good 15 years, used it as bedding for rats back in the day, and for the past ten years for my cats’ litter boxes.
Lately, I feel like it clumps and absorbs worse, turning into mush instead of clumps. On top of that, it smells bad and doesn’t hold odours as well as it used to.

Review of the litter
I use this litter every day; the absorption is decent and the bag is still easy to handle.

Not compatible with an automatic litter box
Yes, it clumps really well and has a nice woody smell, but it doesn’t work in my automatic litter box. I have a “PetKit Pura Max 2” and it just doesn’t work. The granules are too light, which messes up the litter’s grain level detection. So, when it rotates to remove waste, it ends up wasting a lot of clean litter along with the dirty stuff. After just two cycles, the waste bin was full. In my case, I wouldn’t recommend it. Too bad.

Quality has gotten worse – only here???
I’ve been using this litter for 10 years and was always satisfied. I had a subscription for it with Zooplus, which I cancelled today. The reason: the litter has gradually become coarser and coarser. It now takes ages for it to clump, and the smell is often unpleasant. To compare, I bought a bag from a local shop, and the quality is so much better. It’s much finer and absorbs much better.

Mixed feelings
Doesn’t stick to their paws, I find less of it outside the litter box compared to the small clumping gravel, but the smell is awful—it’s like walking into an animal shelter when you enter the room.

It falls apart, quality has dropped
As mentioned, the quality has gone down. We have these wood shavings all over the house. I walk barefoot and keep stepping in them everywhere. Vacuuming every day doesn’t help. The cat is already 6 years old and we’ve been using it from the start. I’m looking for an alternative!

Gotten expensive
I've been using this for a while and it's good stuff. However, the price is no longer reasonable. In September 2025, I ordered 3 bags of 40 litres for 80 euros. Now, in May 2026, I can buy 2 bags of 40 litres for 82 euros... I don't think that's normal anymore and I'm going to look for another brand.

Stays wet for a long time and clumps are too soft
The litter doesn’t dry or harden quickly enough, so wet bits keep ending up outside and the cats get grossed out when digging. It’s also very fine. Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for us, but it’s not a bad litter in itself.

not what it used to be
I've been buying this product for many years. Recently, I'm no longer impressed with it—the cat litter crumbles into dust and needs to be changed more often. There's also a lot more dust than before. I'm now looking for an alternative.

Not Low-Dust or Dust-Free!
The litter clumps well and has a pleasant woody smell. I also think the odour control is fine.
Unfortunately, it creates a lot of dust even when pouring it into the litter box—you can actually see the dust rising. The same happens when cleaning the litter box, with dust swirling up. That’s really a shame, because otherwise the product would be great.
So we’ll probably switch back to Cats Best Pellets! This was just a trial.
Before that, we’ll give Tigerino Tofu Litter a try!

So-so
It smells less than the bentonite clay litter. However, you can smell sawdust, and when they use it, it smells like wet sawdust. It’s not exactly what I was expecting. I preferred the corn-based one I got from a discount store, which (without added fragrances) actually smells nice and doesn’t stink even after use.

Problems with the latest matches
We've been using this litter for years, but lately it never arrives the same and there are some batches that smell so bad they make the whole house stink! Unfortunately, I had to throw away two 20l bags and the price has become way too high recently, with the quality getting worse.

Self-cleaning litter box
Guided by the reviews, I decided to try this litter. I have 2 self-cleaning litter boxes and 5 cats. At first, it seemed to work well, and it doesn’t have a smell when clean like other materials. However, after a short while, a mush forms on the grid that separates the clean litter from the dirty, and soon it ends up blocking the holes. It’s as if it doesn’t clump urine properly. I won’t be buying it again.
