Doesn’t clump well at all. No or very little odour removal. Being cheap is the only positive, but pretty disappointing overall. Show details
There is no odour elimination in this product. Our house was foul smelling when using this product, absolutely stank. Don't buy this product or any other Coles Brand cat litter.!!!!! It's filthy and useless !!! Show details
Hardly clumps – While it’s cheap, it doesn’t clump much at all. I ended up having to empty the litter tray within a few days because it smelt. Show details
Used to be good now terrible – Not sure whats happened with the litter industry in the last year but quality has dropped on all products. The coles litter used to be an affordable decent litter. Now its very chunky and sharp, it doesnt clump well, and ive had issues with fungi growing in it because you cant scoop it properly any more. Show details
Clumping? Where? – This stuff is just gravel that doesn't clump. Try Aldi's, it's finer sand but clumps so well and only $6 for twice as much. Show details
Was good but not now – Used to love this litter but it has changed and now it is like gravel and does not clump well at all. I was hoping it was a bad batch but unfortunately it wasn’t because I have purchased quite a few now and it seems to be all the same. If it changes back to what it was, I will purchase again.

Value for money and – I'm THRILLED because this hardly tracks at all, if any somedays. It definitely DOES CLUMP but it has to be a large amount of liquid before breaking down the stones to a smaller size to clump. Although it won't absorb odours but they never claimed that it would, It's a easy fix by adding a tablespoon of bi carb soda to the tray & mixing it in. I'm… Read more
glad that I started re purchasing this and so is my cat. This Review is for Coles clumping cat litter 4.5 & for the Coles brand 10kg Clay cat litter which is exactly the same, it has exactly the same ingredients, texture & smell even though the bag & name is slightly different (Just read the back of the bag if u need proof).
Rubbish not clamping – Clamping litter it is not, two lots first lot no clamping at all, second lot clamping but not solid enough to not break when scooping. Will try either Aldi or woolworths. Show details
Solidifies and smelly – It does not clump for my cat's urine. The urine ends up at the bottom of the tray and solidifies. Hence, unable to remove the urine daily. The old reviews on this website praised this product. My best guess is that it isn't what it used to be and they may have changed the material? Show details
Will not buy again – Had been buying this for a couple of years and loved it. Disappeared for a while, then was able to purchase again today. Nothing like it used to be. This resembles coarse gravel and does not clump at all, and because it does not clump you cannon remove urine and it already smells. Show details
the best clay clumping kitty litter – I've tried many brands & types & until recently was using another stores home brand, because it was equally as good, but, had the bonus of a handle on the bag, making it easier to pick up & move, now, that's changed for the worse & back to coles version, which, has become coarser, since the last time we were using it, but, its as good then, as is… Read more
now, improved if anything. this kitty litter, being as course as it is, doesnt stick or get spread around the house, on our cats very long fur & no dust. its easy to clean up & when our cat does cover poo's, it doesnt smell - she has a habit of not doing this all the time & no wee smells...always in stock too, which is a bonus...
Coles Clumping cat litter – I find this kitty litter excellent for the price and have been using it for some time. It clumps very well and is easy to scoop out. It is necessary to scoop out reasonably regularly (once every day or two) otherwise the clumps declump as they dry out but as I said if you get onto them quickly no problems. Also it comes in a sturdy plastic bag… Read more
and I cut off both ends and down the centre seam on the back and use it as the litter tray liner. This gives a seam free liner that isn’t scratched to bits, makes it easier to clean the tray and saves money on buying separate liners. Also “re-using” which is better for the environment.
The reason I give four stars is it doesn’t have any added scent but not a big deal.
As others mention packaging is different to image shown - see photo of current packaging attached.
Very pleased with it, and so is the cat – Who would go out of their way to review cat litter? I would in this case. Have been using WW clay litter for years, around $7 the large bag. That would end up outside of the tray, non-clumping, and would have to toss a fair bit of it at each empty. Having to meet a minimum-spend deal at Coles, I tried this. Not the same bag as the picture, but… Read more
like everyone else says, it is the 4.5kg bag for $2.65, in october2020. Seems to have been that price for years.
The stuff is magic. Clumps into one big ball. The cat took it immediately. No raking the tray so a lot neater. It is like he understood the process. Much easier to dispose of with the scoop, no waste, and no smell.
I have the tray mostly full so it never sticks to the floor of the tray. I cheat a little and mix a bit of the cheaper clay stuff in, and it still works perfectly. Will keep using. And so will the cat.

Very good – This picture listed-isnt the one im using. The coles cat clumping litter. 4.5 kilos for 2.65 as of July 2019 so i had to use this until i was waiting for my bulk brand kitty litter i buy on line. I was sceptical but surprised. Its a heavy mix. sort of stones and pebble like. but it clumps really well. and i they both have used it, but i cant… Read more
tell! no smell and i dont need to change the tray yet. i honestly think if you dont want to spend big on litter and use this as daily for your cats it would be good. Im surprised at its quality and will sure buy again for on standby when i run out of my usual brand.
Works really well – Great product! After my cat is done it will clump together and make it easy for me to remove it. However I will say you must fill the litter box half way otherwise you will struggle cleaning the bottom of the litter box because it will stick like concrete. Overall, great product and inexpensive.
Horrible turns to concrete – This was horrible I bought it last week as I was house sitting and took my kitten, I assumed all clay clumping litters were the same and I didn’t want to spend too much as I had litter at home Catisan however I was DEAD WRONG this was the size of Little rocks slightly larger than gravel my Kitten did use it however when he did it turned to… Read more
clay/concrete and was so hard to get off the bottom of my litter tray which as we know are not cheap I’m yet to contact Coles to express how much I hated it was of money
Good for sandy soil – I use this mixed with water on my sandy soil gardens - works a treat and cheaper than clay from Bunnings!
A dirt cheap but excellent product – Have been using this product, (Coles Smart Buy Clumping Cat Litter) for years. Well not me personally .. I mean my cat Socksey. From my understanding the "Smart Buy" range of products sold by Coles are usually the absolute cheapest, arguably lowest quality, of any product range sold by Coles. However, this product is fantastic!. It… Read more
works!! & it works so well!
It may be cheap to buy, ($2.65 for a 4.5kg bag), but it does the job perfectly without any compromise in quality or effectiveness.
I would highly recommend this product to you ... & your cat.
It clumps very well but too dusty – This litter is a great price and does clump very well. The main issue is that it is extremely dusty. I'm concerned about all the dust we (including our kitties) are breathing in. As we have 3 indoor cats and no garage, we have limited places we can put the litters. If you can keep it in a garage or very well ventilated area, I say go ahead. But if like us you can only keep it inside, I don't recommend. Just due to the dust.
More than expect – I hv tried different bands before, like the crystal one with blue bag (forgot the name, can cover the odour, but the litter is so easy to come out), the Japanese tofu litter (it does smell like tofu and it is the best one i hv ever used, but too expensive and Australia doesn't hv it, u can only order online), the grain one from wonderful XXX (come… Read more
with purple box, doesn't cover the smell as it said and too expensiveo)
till one day my home is out of litter n i forgot to order online, so i jus went to coles n grab this amazing stuff randomly, and i found it really good. I hv two cats, n i jus need to scoop oncedaily nchange the litter once a week or sometimes can last more than a week, and there are no smell at all, much better than the crystal one, and the grain one. But still, the Japanese one wins, jus too expensive becos of the shipping fee. Anyway, im gonna use this cheap but amazing coles litter till i find another better one. Cheap, flushable, odour control, not dusty, easy to get from any coles
A good litter! – I've used a few different types of litters and so far my cats like this one. I like crystals but my kitties don't :( Anyways, I have two cats; I buy 4 bags of Coles Clumping Litter (the one with the cat on the packaging NOT the regular Homebrand cat non-clumping litter, that stuffs terrible) and pay $11 a fortnight. That's extremely reasonable in… Read more
my opinion. I scoop litter daily (sometimes twice daily) and change the entire box twice weekly. This isn't a litter for lazy people. If you leave it more than a day it smells. The litter doesn't mask odors at all. But that's OK if you're on top of scooping waste daily. When cats pee in the litter it clumps up and makes scooping easy. Sometimes you get it stuck to the bottom of the box but this only happens when I don't put enough litter in the box. I'd recommend this litter to people on a budget and who aren't lazy when it comes to their pets. You cant leave it for 2 weeks and scoop every few days like expensive odor masking litters. But I'm more then willing to put a little effort in so I can save a few bucks for something my cats just sh*t in. Clumps well, absorbent It leaves tracks outside the litter box, will smell if not scooped daily.
Cheap and smelly – I used to buy this brand a couple of years ago, and it was excellent value for money. It would clump well, with no odour. However, I started to notice a deterioration about 6 months ago, with a gluggy mess forming on the bottom of the tray, and not clumping. I then switched to Coles Scented Clumping brand (read that review separately). I… Read more
recently bought again as a trial, and it was a disaster. The garage reeked of urine within a couple of days, and there were no clumps forming at all. Inexpensive Doesn't perform as advertised

Good – I have tried a whole range of cat litters and I'm pretty happy with this one. The cat doesn't resent using it like some of the other brands, the odour is contained, and best of all, it's economical: when you change it, you just tilt the tray so the clean litter falls to one side, leaving the used litter as a lump of clay-like matter in one spot.… Read more
Just keep a cheap or old scraper handy and use it to lift the clump and put it in the compost. Plus it's not as bulky as some of the other types. Plus it doesn't get kicked around outside the tray as easily as the light weight ones. Inexpensive. Clumping characteristic makes cleaning easy and economical. Heavy weight means it doesn't get spread around like the lighter ones.
Excellent – Our cat doesn’t mind using it (other than scratching it all over the laundry after). It is fragrance free and most importantly it contains any smells. Cleanup is simple as all the ‘used’ areas clump completely together. I line the litter tray with newspaper before putting the kitty litter in to make cleanup easier. We have used this type for years… Read more
and shall continue to do so. Very inexpensive, clumps for easy cleaning/removal, doesn’t smell, cat doesn’t mind using it, works as well as other clumping kitty litters, fragrance free. None, but line the tray with newspaper before putting it in.
Bad – personally, i would not recommend this product to others. whilst it is cheap and masks odour very well, the litter turns to a clay like substance when wet, which makes it very heavy and sticky, thus very hard to remove from the kitty tray. i ended up having to throw my tray away in the end. if you are going to use this product i would recommend… Read more
using at least two cat tray liners to hold the products weight and help in the cleaning process. cheap alternative product, no odour turns to clay at the bottom of the kitty tray. hard to remove
