I changed to this after using Cats Best Oki Plus, I thought this was great cat litter but the amount of time that I would spend vacuuming it from around the house was ridiculous. I changed back to a clay based product so that there wasn't as much tracking around the house but was getting really irritated with the mess that it made in the tray, how difficult it was to clean out and the lack of odour control. I decided that as a last attempt I would try Nature Gold. It's fantastic! There is very little tracking, it scoops out of the tray so easily and it tackles odours really well. To top it off, it looks a lot nicer in the tray as I have an open tray. I would highly recommend it.

Really easy to remove when clumped, keeping the box clean and odour free. Not too dusty, and very soft for cat's paws. I'm actually saving some money with this litter, compared to the silica gel I was using before, and I get the benefit of the low impact on the environment =)

I've been using World's Best litter for a year now for 2 cats with the only complaint being the tracking of dust. Always on the lookout for good value flush-able litter (especially since one cat pees more than I thought imaginable for such a small creature thus running through litter very quickly), I am now giving Cat's Best Nature Gold a try. At first I tried to mix it with World's Best and disliked it. But a warning, do not mix this with any other finer litter otherwise you end up with mixed cement-like clumps and a horrible sawdust smell. Now using it entirely on its own, I do prefer it to World's Best because there is no tracking at all though I have to be a bit more careful with the disposal. Yet to see if in the long run it is cheaper though.

This litter is great. It's a natural product, lasts a long time, doesn't smell and the clumps can be quickly disposed of in the loo instead of wasting plastic bags.

We've tried loads of different cat litters and this is by far the best. The large pellets are easy to scoop, clump well and don't track very much. Other fine litters clump better but stick to paws and travel all round the house! Unfortunately, by the time we discovered this product, Pud had decided to opt for the great outdoors option, but we still buy for those wild days when he doesn't want to venture out.

We've been using this now for about a month and it's the best I've ever used. Before we were using the normal Cat's Best, which is also good for having no odour, but I found that it was too dusty and would track all over the house. It would get stuck in my cat's paws and then you'd find it everywhere. With this one you get all the benefits of Cat's Best but because the pellets are so big it hardly tracks. Of course you get a couple around the box here and there but it's nothing compared to smaller pellets or a sandy litter. And there is no dust for me or my cat to breathe in when moving it around. And no smell. It doesn't seem to last as long as the other Cat's Best (which lasted forever) but it's worth it to not have the tracking.

So I started out on normal oko. And then was at a cat show and they had the gold stuff on special so I picked some up. The guy there was saying you just put back in all the unused litter after each clean of the tray, but I think that's pretty grim so I use a 10l bag every 10 days (2 boys share a hooded tray). Anyway, prior to this I was using normal Oko, and it had to be switched out every week without fail and I found it got quite powdery and dusty in there. With the Gold, it lasts longer between switchouts, tracks less, and a lot less of the dusty stuff after a few days in the tray. This is good as my cats are black, and one digs to Australia when dropping the kids of at the pool, so he used to come out covered in the dust. Anyway, how zooplus sells it in batches of the 10l bag is perfect as I struggled a bit with the 40l of normal Oko.

I wrote the review below when my Siberians were still fairly small... Now that they have grown enormously (Siberians are amongst the monsters of the cat world, in terms of size & weight), the weight that bears down on their paws in the litter tray does make some of the litter stick, so some tracking has become an issue after all. Nevertheless, it's still a great product, and I'm not swapping - just didn't want info that I've now discovered to be slightly inaccurate to stay uncorrected on the site. With small dainty cats, I'm sure that what I said before holds good!

After having tried all sorts of different types of litter for my Siberians, this is undoubtedly the best (even better than the ordinary Cat's Best, where tracking was a desperate issue, although everything else about it was good). There is honestly NO tracking at all - we do get a few bits on the floor still, but that is through over-enthusiastic digging attempts to cover over the poo, not because it gets stuck to feet or fur, so we'd get that whatever litter we used. However, because the individual granules are larger than the average cat litter, they are also much easier either to pick or sweep up, and we don't have a carpet covered in tiny white specks all the time. It is wonderfully absorbent, so the clumps are easy to get rid of; it lasts for AGES, so is very economical (I reckon about half the price of even pretty cheap ordinary litter) and there is NO smell whatsoever. The fact that it's flushable is a boon too - although I must admit I still put some in our litter locker, as I don't want to overburden the drains. One of our cats was a bit reticent to use it at first, so I just added it bit by bit to his usual litter, and won him over gradually. Now he's quite happy with it and doesn't think twice about the thought of using it.

Oko's Best is still the best, (no smell, lasts for ages, great clumping, flushable!) BUT, as far as not tracking, I can say that it still gets stuck to the cat's paws and can be found everywhere, maybe a bit less than the original version, but still everywhere. Also, the pellets are bigger in size than the original Oko litter, and hurt more when trodden on barefooted! So, I will keep on buying the original, slightly cheaper, and overall better.

I have ragdolls cats and must of tried every litter on the market in the past 5 years. Since finding Cat's Best nothing else will do for indoor use. Yes it tracks but they all do, this hardly at all. It doesn't scratch furniture as some of the grit litters do. Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant thank goodness its back in stock!!!!!!!

Great for eco-friendly people and easy to scoop(but not sure how eco-friendly the production method is to make it clump when wet??). Much easier to handle than non-clumping wood based litter. My cat does seem to get it everywhere but at least it tracks in pellet form and not sawdust everywhere like the non-clumping wood pellets. I have a long haired cat and it doesn't stick in his fur like the Oko-Plus flakes.

This litter is one of the best I've tried that my cats will use - normally I find one that is great for me to scoop but my 3 cats won't give it the time of day. Doesn't track nearly as much as the less expensive version, although some bits do make it out of the tray. Clumps well and is good for odour too. Decent value for money as well. I'll definitely be buying this from now on.

We switched to this version because of the extreme tracking problems of the Oko Plus. Very good stuff, just wished it'd be in stock more often.

I have eight cats and they love this litter including 2 Persians. But do not follow the advice that it can be disposed of down the toilet - at least not with a multi cat household as I have had to clear my drain. I also wish it was in stock when I need it.

I was over the moon when I found this litter - one that clumped and could be composted, supposedly didn't track out of the litter box and controlled odours. However, my only real gripe with it is that it does track out of the box, to the point that I have woken up in the morning to find my bed full of litter where one of my cats has climbed under the duvet to keep warm and I am always having to vacuum up litter from around the tray.

We have a couple of long haired Norwegian Forest Cats and they loved using this litter; it has a fresh clean smell and doesnt scatter everywhere when they have finished using their litter box! Great stuff at a great price - will definately buy this again!

I've been using this litter for over 3 years, and this year, 2026, it's the fourth time I've come across 20L bags that don't clump at all and just turn completely crumbly and dusty. As a result, I have to remove double or even triple the amount of litter. Even though it's basically a great litter that I can only recommend, I'm disappointed by the quality issue I've encountered several times this year, which leads to extra costs that really shouldn't happen!

I switched from clumping litter to pellets a few years ago and never looked back. Pros: Creates less waste. Doesn’t form that hard-to-clean "mud" in the corners of the box like litter does. The smell of pee is much less noticeable! Cons: When they poop, the smell is more noticeable. But it’s just a matter of... cleaning. Similarities: It also clumps. Differences: It’s better to use a scoop with slightly larger holes so the pellets can pass through.

After my last order, the litter has changed in both appearance and behaviour. The pellets are thinner and longer, and look drier, which means they don’t work as well with urine and poo. The litter doesn’t clump as well as it used to. The clumps break apart when scooping, and the smell of urine and poo is stronger. It doesn’t hold in the odours as much. Honestly, I’m wondering if I’ll keep using this brand.

The quality of the litter has dropped a lot. It doesn't clump well. The urine goes straight to the bottom of the tray and sticks to it. The clumps break up into small pieces, which makes it hard to pick up the tiny granules during daily cleaning. After two days, you have to change all of it because it smells terrible. I thought I just got a bad batch, but for the past few months, every one has been worse than the last.

I switched from the regular Cats Best to this litter and I have to say, I don't understand the negative reviews. It mostly clumps well, doesn't smell, doesn't create dust, and hardly spreads around the area. My cats like using it and it's easy to keep the litter boxes clean with it. I’m taking off one point because after longer use it gets a bit crumbly and the clumps fall apart. Still, all in all, it's a good product and I can recommend it.

After trying out some cheaper products that created a lot of dust, I am extremely impressed with this product. No dust, my cat doesn’t drag the pellets all over the flat, and she’s happy. Of course, you use more of this than with the cheaper products, but my cat’s health and my own are more important to me. Before, I always had to wear a face mask when cleaning the litter box.

I spent a long time looking for litter that doesn’t create dust because my tomcat takes his time and covers everything thoroughly, which always left dust everywhere, and he used to spread a lot of it around the flat. That’s finally over now. My cat is happy with Best Cats Smart and so am I. It doesn’t create dust, it clumps well, sometimes small bits break off when cleaning but that’s fine, it doesn’t smell, and what he drags out of the litter box is minimal. We’re completely satisfied—after trying many other litters, this is the best!

My cats love it and so do I. There's no smell, hardly anything gets tracked out, and if necessary, you can even flush it down the toilet.

I've been buying these pellets for a long time because they're nice and big and don't create much dust. But in the last few packs, there were loads of small bits and a lot of dust. I definitely ordered the pellets, but you wouldn't really notice that anymore.

I've been buying this litter for almost 20 years, and in the early years it was really great. Hardly any dust (there's no such thing as a completely dust-free litter), nice solid pellets, but then it got worse and worse every year and also kept getting more expensive. That's it for me now. In the meantime, there's a great alternative available here on Zooplus as well.

Tried a smaller pack for the move (usually I use Original 40l) – it worked pretty well! 20l was just enough for a big box, and we'll see how quickly it gets used up. It definitely packs well, but as a result, you use more than with Original, though there's clearly less dust and spreading. I can't say yet if I'll order another one or not. The cat likes it, my cat is happy to go in soil outside or in bentonite. Maybe this is nicer for him since it's harder than Original.

Very good litter, I have two cats and there’s no smell. It stays compact, which means I have less litter scattered around the tray.

I've been using Cat's Best litter for years, but unfortunately the quality has really gone downhill. First with the original (red bag) – it creates a lot of dust, which makes it unusable for a cat with asthma. The pellet version doesn't produce dust, but the clumps fall apart when you try to remove them. This means you end up using a lot more, since you have to fish out all the broken clumps. Plus, the pellets get tracked all the way into the hallway. Once I've finished my last bag, I'll be switching to a different litter.

Ordered a 20-litre bag but what's shown on the bag is 10kg, which is strange. Unfortunately, my kittens didn't like this litter because they were used to mineral litter.

There's no cat pee smell, but the cats track it all over the flat because it sticks to their fur. The pee falls apart or can be scratched apart really, really easily, so it's not hygienic. Because of this, it's very hard to clean.

I switched from CatsBest Original to CatsBest Smart Pellets because my 4 Maine Coons would spread the Original all over the house. Also, I find the Original creates a lot of dust. The pellets are spread less around the house, which I like. But it's very expensive.

I've used this product for several years. I really appreciate that you can flush it down the toilet and that it smells fresh and woody even though it's not perfumed.
