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.

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 🐱🐱👌🏻

Amazing
This at litter is by far the best I have used for my cats tray!! Having read several bed reviews, I was really surprised as this stuff really works so well. Especially for my cat who is now 16 and drinking more water and urinating more often, it really does conceal any kinds of odour especially blitzes the strong cat urine smell completely!!! I clean out any clumps daily and it’s also flushable litter, it clumps well and you can see where the clumps are for easy use of disposal.

Amazing
Really pleased with this, being using catsan for 10 years as nothing else really kept the smell away from as long (max 2 weeks). Was always sceptical about clumping litter but this stuff is the business. The cats seem to love it too and they are far quieter in the box. So far the odour has been far better than catsan - it smells a bit like a hamster cage, but I'll take that every day of the week over urea / ammonia smell that usually surfaces after a week or so.

Easy to Use
I have been using this litter for a while and I like it. I like the fact that it's a natural, plant based product. It clumps well and doesn't smell so I find the litter tray easy to clean. I have a covered litter tray and track mats and this keeps tracking to a minimum.

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.

Absolutely fantastic!
After reading some bad reviews. I brought the £7 something bag to try. And i can actually say its a really good litter. I had brought numerous ones to try as i have 3 cats. And one is unwell with very bad bowels! So the litter is always getting changed. But this has really held up great and i have now brought the 40l+20l saver pack. Not much waste. Dont really have a smell to it but does not smell bad. Honestly one of the best litters i have tried. Tracks abit but they all do ! 5stars

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.

Not economical!
Same opinion for Cat's Best Original and Greenwoods plant fibre since they're basically the same litter.
- Not economical at all! The bin fills up in 1.5 days instead of 3 with Biokat Organic Fibre Wood
- Lots of dust/powder after... 2 days! (Not recommended for asthmatic cats)
- Stays "dirty". The broken pellets are so big it's impossible to remove everything that's soiled...
- Not much litter outside the tray, that's true, but it's replaced by dust... which is even worse.

I do not recommend
We had been using it for years, but recently the quality has dropped and we had to look for something else. It spreads a lot, doesn't clump well, and starts to smell bad quickly. Unfortunately.

After more than 10 years of loyal loyalty: Thanks for the good times, but that's it.
For over ten years, Cat’s Best Original and I were a well-oiled team. For years, I would have sworn by this litter – but what’s been coming out of the bags lately sadly has little in common with the original from back in the day.
Instead of the usual top performance, the clumps now fall apart just by looking at them. The absorbency...

Light throughout the whole house
After years of using Benek Corn, I thought I'd give this another try. Well, I sure found out. We were away on holiday for a week. My regular cat sitter immediately told me that the clumps with urine fall apart straight away and are really hard to scoop.
On top of that, I'm really glad I had robot vacuum cleaners running daily both upstairs and downstairs. Both are completely full of granules. Even in the attic, the stuff is everywhere. And our litter boxes are downstairs... Awful stuff. Back to Benek!

This litter lasts a really long time, smells like fresh wood, and is environmentally friendly—including the packaging.

I've tried 5 different types of natural "bedding" for my bunny's whole cage, since he doesn't care what he uses for his toilet. This one suits us best 🙂

It got worse
I don’t know what happened to this cat litter. I’ve been ordering it for 8 years, but the last few orders just aren’t the same as before. It doesn’t clump as well as it used to, the clumps fall apart. I thought maybe it was just one bad batch, but unfortunately it’s happened several times now and it’s still the same problem. I think I’ll go back to Corn Car. That one clumps much better, even though it’s dustier.

Cat litter
Overall, it's a decent cat litter, but I wanted one that doesn't create dust, and this one is advertised as being almost dust-free. I actually find it quite dusty and not so good for cats.

Super litter + compostable!
We've been using Cat's Best as litter for our cats and kittens for 14 years now. We're also using it in our automatic litter boxes these days, and it all works brilliantly. The litter is perfectly safe for the kittens too, since it's completely natural. It clumps well and is easy to dispose of. Some packs are a bit finer and can be a bit dusty, but that's only the odd bag. We're happy with it overall.

Very economical, doesn't trap odours and cats don't like it on their paws
Much more economical than bentonite litter. With diarrhoea, it could have been hidden under less than 20 litres and it still would have stunk. Generally an unpleasant smell, and if you have to change all the litter so often, it's not really economical or cheaper than others. Biggest negative: the cats don't like it at all. Even my expert digger tends to run away. With my long-haired cat, the litter always got stuck in her fur, very uncomfortable. I could flush the poo down the toilet, which was practical. The litter spreads around the flat...

Loved it for years, but sadly that's changed now
I've been using this for years. Yes, it does scatter, but that's the case with any other litter too. Still, it seems like something has changed in the formula lately. It doesn't clump nearly as well, so the whole tray gets 'contaminated', turns dark, and starts to smell quickly. I scoop several times a day, and I used to have to completely change the tray much less often. I could just keep topping it up because it clumped so nicely. It's a real shame because I haven't found an alternative yet!
