This is a Mars product, ie the confectionary people. I stopped using it when they increased the price. After buying its replacement "Natural Clumping Clay" litter, I see that the grains are much courser, and its both harder on cats' paws and human bare feet. I noticed that the UK market can still access "Ultra Clumping Plus", which looks to be the product we used to have. Our version is too expensive to not be absolutely satisfied with. Show details

Terrible in every way except smell absorbency – The only thing going for this litter is the excellent smell absorbency. It is hit and miss with clumping and the clumps that do form break easily into a crumbly mess making it impossible to get it all. The worst thing though is for the most part it just turns into a sticky black sludge! It's absolutely gross! It tracks on the paws quite a bit too.… Read more

I do like the smell absorbency so I have been mixing minimal of this in with the Aldi clumping litter but I am on the hunt for something better!

Used to be ok, now just overpriced garbage – Only bought as usual brand was out of stock. We used to buy this but became terrible a few years ago. Doesnt clump, just dust particles. Gets everywhere. Total waste of money. It used to be ok but past few years it is just useless. Dont waste your money  Show details

Absolute waste of money – This litter is the worst I've ever bought. Clumps fall apart into little clumps. So end up spending longer cleaning the box due to all the "clumps" that have fallen apart. a 7kg bag was lucky to last a week for ONE CAT. Only bought as stores were out of the one I usually get. Absolute waste of money. Coles or Woolies home brand is a million times better than this garbage. Don't waste your money. Show details

Not impressed – Tried this as I was unable to get my usual litter. Never will buy it again. Turns to a sticky paste that sticks to the bottom of the tray and is impossible to scoop up. Odour control was very poor I had to throw the lot out and replace with another brand. Show details

Been a long time user for this Cat Litter – We have three cats and have been using Catsan Litter for more than 10 years. The clump absorbs a lot of cat urine and didnt release any big smell. Its so easy for us to clean up the litter as the clump sticks easily. However, the price of catsan has been increased a lot in the past. Sometimes we have to use alternative brand of cat litter to save our expense.

Excellent product – Been using this product for years. I find it is a excellent product. It is easy to scoop up the cat waste.

Has the formula changed! – I have used this product for all my cats for the last few years, but recently it just isn't the same stuff, it doesn't clump as well and always seems damp, sticking the bottom of the tray. May have to source another brand if this one doesn't go back to the original formula.

Was good but now just a sticky mess – I have used this for years and been very happy. It appears to have changed as now it just turns into a sticky mess on the bottom of the litter tray that is hard to scrape up. Please go back to the old formula.

clumps well, moderately dusty – This kitty litter clumps very very well. But is not good for an asthmatic cat or one with respiratory problems. As kitty is digging moderate plumes of dust are kicked up. Then the kitten sneezes and carries on. When tipping in the kitty litter it was less dusty than another brand, but still had that dust factor. It is a good product I just do not like the dust factor. I ended up tossing it out and going with another brand.

High Quality Low Cost Cat litter – Great clumping properties, we can easily scoop out the solids and the rest of the litter is still clean. It lasts for a long time, very economical, we use 1 bag for 2 weeks and scoop out the solids 1-2 times a day. Odor control is pretty good but we do use a enclosed litter with carbon filter. Tracking is OK, some do get tracked out, but just next… Read more

to the kitty litter tray. It's all natural clay and Australian made, not flush-able but that's not a problem as it's biodegradable. Our cat's been using it since she was a kitten and no complaints. We used to get them on sale at Big W for $15 per box ($22 normal price) but they've since stopped ranging it.. we've tried some other litters but they just don't have the same clumping qualities.

Used to be best litter I know. But then they changed the formula – I have been using this cat litter for several years now and I have never been disappointed. It clumps very well and it is not too dusty. I have tried several other clumping litters on the market but always came back to this one - least dust and manages smelly odour the best. Adult cats as well as kittens seem to like it, I have never had an issue… Read more

with all my foster cats.

I usually wait until it is on special at Big W and buy several boxes, which makes it very good value for money.

---

EDIT - January 2019 - They have changed their formula and it hasn't been the same. Whist there is basically no dust at all, the litter doesn't clump very well any more. It breaks apart very easily and is very hard to scoop up. Not too sure about this any more...

Best Cat Litter on the market, – Best Cat Litter on the market, and believe me, with ten cats to care for we have tried every option. It is expensive but has optimum odour control and best clumping ability. We have used Catsan Clumping Litter for many years and always come back to it after trying alternatives.

The only one we'll use now! – We've now been using this for a few years and every now and then I'll go and try something a bit cheaper or a bit different - no such luck. We always come back to the Catsan straight away. It stays stink-free for ages and it clumps together excellently for easy sifting. Everything else we've tried needs to be changed much, much sooner and tends to… Read more

smell a bit after a while. Considering that our laundry comes straight off our kitchen, I can never smell the cat trays while I'm cooking.

very good clumping cat litter – My neighbour recommended Catsan Ultra to me, her cat's been using it for over 7 years and loves it. I only decided to try this when I saw it on sale at BigW. This cat litter clumps very well, and is so easy to scoop out, so there is basically no stinky smell. But unfortunately it wasn't for long until my cat started sneezing every time… Read more

using the litter box, it just got too dusty. clumps very well, no smell, affordable price very very dusty makes my cat sneeze.

The only litter my cat and I both like – My cat will only use litter that has fine grains. He won't use coarser litter or crystals or pellets (like the recycled newspaper ones). I've tried some of the other non-clay litters which have fine grains, but they never worked so well as this and tended to be easier to walk all over the house than this product. It contains the odour well too. It… Read more

is more pricey than the cheaper ones, but you don't save money buying cheaper products if your cat won't use them. This is all I use now. Fine grains seem to suit some cats better than coarse. A bit more expensive, very heavy to carry and scoop through. You need a strong scoop or it will snap.

Best cat litter for all my cats – I've brought up four generations of Abyssinians on Catsan litter. They like using it, it lasts because it clumps VERY well, and it doesn't harm the little critters by depositing dust in their lungs. I currently have 2 adult Abbys and I need to change it every 3 weeks or maybe less, if I clean it out every day. It doesn't smell fragrant either,… Read more

like some cheaper ones do, and most cats hate. Tried cheaper brands, always came back to Catsan. Lasts a long time, cats like it, easy to use. Nothing

Second attempt at using it – My cat started to dislike using litter crystals, so I bought a box of this to try it again. She actually loves it now - hopped right in and started to dig. No turning back. Now she is a bit more grown up she is also better at not stepping in her deposits. Two paws up from my princess! Economical, fragrance free, easy to sift out used bits Heavy, a bit dusty but not too bad

Excellent cat litter – I have 8 rescue cats and have tried every litter on the market. This stays working longer than any other and the cats like it. They wouldn't use the crystals and others had to be thrown out after 1 day. clumps well, low odour and easy to clean out the trays Cats flick it on floor with feet but I keep a brush nearby.

Excellent – I have tried every litter on the market and this works the best. My cat wouldn't use the crystal one. Other litters have to be thrown away after one day and refilled. This one clumps and you just use a shovel to get the clumps out and throw them away. Other products say they clump but they don't. I can even leave her for two days without a… Read more

worry and she is a very fussy cat who will do it on the floor if the litter isn't to her satisfaction! My cat likes it! It clumps so it is easy to clean. Reduced smell. Lasts for ages as you only remove the clumped bits every day. Excellent product.

Good – The best litter on the market for my needs. The cats do their business and I remove it, simple. Even if it stays there for the day you don't get knocked over by cat smells when you get home from work. The clumps form well and are easy to separate from the clean litter. They do kick some of the grits outside the box but they are easy enough to… Read more

sweep up. Reduces odour more than other brands, it's easy to remove lumps and the cats don't get wet feet using the product like with some other brands. The cost. For the best use you really need to put a lot of product in a tray and this gets expensive with multiple cats.

Good – this is such a great idea they seem to have done the impossible and made a truly odour free cat litter and lets face it isn't the worst thing about having your cats inside your house the smell of their litter box? it is a great product and i find even the cats seem to like it better than some other brands that we have tried. even after use it is… Read more

still odour free and i like the way it seems to go into nice little clumps if only someone would design a self emptying system - no, no adverse comments to add

Good – This product is not too bad as far as cat litters go but it can work out to be a bit more expensive than some of the more clay formed cat litters that you can buy in the supermarket. It does seem to reduce odours and it is very easy to keep the litter box clean with this litter. This is a good litter and does clump very well and makes cleaning up… Read more

the litter tray not that bad a chore. My cat does not mind using it. A bit expensive when you consider how much of it you will go through, but other than that, no cons.

Good – This is our favourite cat litter. We pay around $10 a bag, but a large bag lasts months as it clumps so well & you only have to scoop out the clumps. I tend to top up the tray once a week. Clumps well & easy to scoop out the clumps. Reduces odours. My cat tends to kick it out of the litterbox alot.
