Good, but ...
Plus points of Cats Best Oko Plus:
1. My 2 oriental type cats prefer this litter.
2. Natural product, non toxic, safe for my cats.
3. Masks odours very well and has a pleasant, natural woody/pine smell.
4. Clumps well and is easy to deal with.
5. Environmentally friendly and biodegradeable.
Minus points of Cats Best Oko Plus:
1. Tracks a lot. Even though I have a large mat by the tray, I am sweeping up bits of cat litter two or three times a day and still finds bits on the carpet and sometimes even upstairs.
2. It is a bit dusty.
3. I find that it does not last anywhere near as long as the manufacturer states. I use a jumbo sized litter tray, which gives my cats room to turn around. It takes 5 litres of litter each time and I change the tray completely every 5 to 7 days. I have read other reviews which advise that you can save the litter after removing the clumps and put it back in the tray after cleaning, but personally, I don't and wouldn't do this. A 10 litre bag lasts my 2 cats a maximum of 2 weeks.
I have recently tried the Cats Best Gold litter, which is in pellet form rather than chips, designed not to cling to the fur of long haired cats. I would also give that 4 stars. It does not track anywhere near as much as the original and is not so dusty and possibly lasts a day or so longer between complete changes as it does not break down so quickly, however, my cats don't seem to like the feel of it under their paws quite so much and we have much (noisy) raking in the litter tray and it is a little more expensive than the ordinary Cats Best Oko Plus.
Overall, both are good, but have their advantages and drawbacks. You pays your money and you makes your choice.

I think no litter is perfect...
but this one comes very close. Yes the tracking/sticking to the paws and bum is quite bad (specially with my long hair cat which jumps over two mats when leaving the box, grrrrr!!!) but not unmanageable; it controls smells very well - changing my cat's diet, albeit due to renal problems, made a huge difference also - I can just scoop clumps (not hard as rock, but not mushy) and flush down the toilet; and to me the biggest advantage is that the dust is indeed minimal and it does not trigger my asthma as ALL of the clay and most of the paper based litters do.

on the whole very pleased
my 5 cats have been using oko plus now for about the last 6 months. on the whole i am very pleased with it. in comparison to fullers earth and silicon cat litters i think it is excellent in the way it clumps so easily therefore making it unnecessary to completely clean out so often. the only drawback is the amount of tracking. however, i have found that by using the litter mats to put next to the litter boxes, it does help to reduce tracking quite a bit. will definately continue using oko plus.

Best wood-based
I haven't tried other types of litter other than wood-based, but I have tried other brands which turn to mush. I have a door-mat (runner length) outside the litter tray "flap" and don't generally get any tracking of litter beyond this mat. I would recommend this litter and I don't use anything else now.

hmm..not too sure about this!
After reading all these reviews (which were a mixture of good and bad) and looking for a litter that wasn't clay based (used 'Litter Purrfect' from cost co. for last 4 years) we decided to give this one a try.. sadly disappointed with the results. with our old litter we used to find bits over the kitchen floor and sometimes on work units..but this ended up everywhere..and I mean everywhere! even upstairs! (we can only think it's because they're long haired maine coons) the clumps crumble when you're trying to shake the unused bits from the scoop and it doesn't disguise the smell neither. So if you have 1 or 2 short haired cats this may be suitable for you, but we will definately be going back to our old litter which is excellent at clumping and disguising the smell. Mental note to self..don't keep trying different litters because I don't think we'll find one better than litter purrfect!

Best Litter Out There
I have been using this litter for years now and in my opinion it is certainly the best out there, and I've tried many. Yep it tracks but so does most litter - at the speed the cats come out of the tray it's not surprising!! I have two trays, one is a Booda Dome tray and this has stopped a lot of the tracking compared to the normal hooded one. The fact that some have said their cats poo still smells is to do with what they eat and not the litter, it cant make poo smell. My cats eat a high quality food and their poo doesn't smell at all. The problem I experienced with other litters was the lingering amonia smell, especially with Catsan granules, the wee would sink to the bottom of the tray resulting in very wet smelly litter. Oko plus completely absorbs all amonia smells and the tray remains dry. It clumps amazingly well making litter clearing on the whole a much better job.

Not perfect, but the best if you care about the environment
I have used Oku Plus for about a year. I agree with many of the negative comments - it can track a fair amount, it is not quite as economical as suggested and any poos do smell - but I like to be able to scoop up the well-formed clumps and periodically dispose of it in a way that will not add to landfill. I have a litter tray upstairs where I use other types of litter and I am amazed how much I have to put out each fortnight with the refuse. Personally I think it is quite an advantage if I can smell that one of my cats has done a poo. I can see that this would not be great if you are out all day, but as I am around it alerts me to go and clean out the tray. No, this litter is not perfect, but I love the 'natural' smell and the cats, particularly my kitten, love the softness.

wont use anything else now
Ive tried clumping Catsan which I found fine but a little dusty, this was recommended to me on a pets website forum and Ive found it fantastic. Its really economical, I have 2 indoor adult cats and with skipping out 2-3 times a day a bag lasts me a good month, there is no odour at all and no dust at all, the tracking is easy to pick up with dustpan and brush and there is not too much of it, its super absorbant and soft on paws, my cats seem very happy to use it, I wouldnt buy anything else.

oko
Must be one of the best clump forming low odour litters around.Swear by it!.
We use two types.Oko for wee and a clay based granulated for pooh.Cats seem to know which one to use and works well for us.
Flush it if you want, but put ours in the re-cycle bin.

Very good, but tracks a bit
I would have given this product five stars because it's the best litter I've ever used. The only little minus comes from tracking: it's lightweight and therefore it gets quite easily outside the litter box.
But, it clumps well, keeps the smells away a lot better than average litters, is biodegradable, lightweight and very economical. I definitely recommend this litter.

Very nearly 5 stars :-)
Much more convenient than the non-clumping pelleted sawdust: just remove the lumps and replenish the box. Before reading the minor gripes, note that I've just ordered 2 more large bags.
But not quite perfect: the particles of litter are very light and seem to stick to the cats' feet more than the pellets; there's a little more of the stuff scattered on the floor around the box. Also, like the pellets, tiny fragments of wet stuff are inevitably left behind to become a layer of dust in the litter and I'm still trying to work out how best to get the cats to pee in the dusty bits and use it up.

absolutely the best cat litter available
This is the best cat litter I have ever used. Clumps perfectly, no smells, lasts for ages, cats love it. Really can't be beat and very good value price on zooplus

Good, but could be better
I've been using this litter for over a year now, but I'm back to looking for something better. The main thing for me is the lack of odour control, especially after "big business". Also, the clumps are not very tight and sometimes crumble, and stick quite a lot to the bottom. This, I believe, is why the litter box starts smelling after a week at the latest, despite regular scooping: some of the soiled litter always stays behind. Considering the frequent complete litter replacement, it's actually quite expensive. Minor complaints are the dust (not too bad) and tracking (quite bad).
Having said all this, I have yet to find something better (have tried and rejected silicate granules and regular betonite clumping litter). Next on the list to try is Porta Pine...

Really good
I've used Catsan which is good but this is REALLY good! It makes cleaning/clearing the litter tray a much easier and cleaner job with no smell.
I have a composter and love the fact that I can recycle the waste. No problems with 'tracking'.
Really good product that I would recommend.

5-Star Litter
We have 24 cats, therefore a lot of litter trays (10)! We had used a non clumping wood-based litter for years prior to discovering Cat's Best Oko Plus and were reasonably satisfied. However, after trying Cat's Best, we would never go back to using a non-clumping litter again. Yes, you do get tracking, but most eco cat litters will track. Believe me, the benefits far outweigh a little bit of extra sweeping up. Even with our brood, a 40 litre bag lasts a month at least and makes litter tray cleaning so much easier. Conventional wood-based litters are cheaper but most of the time you throw perfectly good litter away because the soiled pellets turn to a powder which mingles with the unused litter. I strongly recommend you try it and see for yourselves.

Incredible!
When they wee it clumps into a ball and dries everything out. I was so impressed by the small 5L bag that I have now bought the 40L - I have a huge cat litter box so it needs about 6L to fill it to a suitable depth but this bag will last for months as you only have to throw away the soiled bits. Amazing. I can't see that I will ever need to look elsewhere for cat litter. Oh, and it's flushable too, although I haven't been doing that, but it's good to know.

We love it!
I've tried every single cat litter there is on our local petshop, but disappointed on erevy one of them. Then I heard about Öko Plus, and wanted to try it, and you don't know how amazed I was! It's the best cat litter I've seen! I love it, my cats love it. It's ecological,economical and easy to use. I used to hate to clean up the litterbox when there was claybased litter, because the clumps udes to stick on the bottom and sides of the box. But with Öko, thats not a problem, the clumps are easy to remove and they don't fall to pieces as easily as the clay-based litter.
It's true that Öko tracks a bit, but so does every litter I've tried.
Alltogether, Öko Plus is perfect for us, won't buy anything else!

I've tried many with frustration..... Brilliant
I have two BSH's and have worried about getting clumping due to rumours of health problems. After being frustrated trying all the odour absorbing litters on the pet store and still hving to bleach the two jumbo trays every 3 days I gave in and started trialling clumping litters. I hate the smell of sawdust/wet wood so tried all the others before I finally gave in and got this. It's fabulous. I can't believe how long it lasts. Granted nothing covers the smell of poop and my boys are very stinky but I sift it many times per day. The smell of sawdust is minimal and far preferable than the smell of catsan after 2 days. Yes it tracks but I sweep the bathroom floor regularly and I'd rather that than litter smell. My only complaint is it lasts so long I struggle to bleach my trays as often as I like plus I wish I'd discovered it before I invested in a litter locker as it's flushable.
