Jumping off of my previous review about BLUE Naturally Fresh Multi-Cat (Alpine Meadow) I thought I would go straight into my review of World’s Best Cat Litter (Single Cat).
I switched over to World’s Best about 2 months ago because Naturally Fresh wasn’t clumping as well as it used to. It was actually recommended by my sister who has been using it for about a year (if not more). The only difference is that she uses the multi-cat and not the single cat.
Similar to the other review, let’s break down what we’re looking for:
Our Priorities
- Minimal Dust
- Clumps Well
- Hides the smell of urine & faeces
- Doesn’t get stuck in/on our cat’s paws
- Is it flushable
Dust
I actually don’t think I’ve noticed any dust with World’s Best and I’m very pleasantly surprised with it. Even when we pour the bag out neither of us have noticed the abundance of dust that tends to come from the clay-based litter. When Beau comes out of the litter box we haven’t noticed anything on his paws, but this may be only because the litter is a lighter colour than Naturally Fresh is.
Clumping
I’m so happy with how well World’s Best clumps. Like, WOW! Beau has been peeing a lot more (ever since his Double Cystotomy and PU Surgery) so clumping is getting a lot more important. World’s Best clumps very quickly, and you don’t have to wait very long before scooping up your little ones… waste… The pieces are easily breakable if you want to cut it into little pieces to ensure nothing gets stuck in the toilet. As soon as you put World’s Best into the toilet it breaks down almost instantly, which feels like a science experiment to watch. My favourite thing about the way World’s Best clumps is that it doesn’t leave any litter stuck to the bottom of the litter box. I know with other brands we sometimes had to scrape the bottom or when it was our monthly cleaning time (when we fully empty the litter box and clean it out) we would spend a good while hosing down the bottom to make sure nothing was left over. I don’t think we’re going to have this issue with any of the World’s Best litters… yay!
Odour Control
I will admit, World’s Best Single Cat isn’t my favourite smelling litter. Naturally Fresh Alpine Fresh definitely has it beat, but I do know that World’s Best makes a Lavender Scented litter that we’re debating trying out. Number 2’s don’t really get covered by this litter, but it’s much more manageable when we got a hooded litter box for Beau. This is definitely dependant on your preference, and dependant on how often/quick you clean your litter boxes. Since our main litter box is in my office, it’s been a bit of an issue for me. Nothing is worse than Beau deciding to poop while I’m on the phone with a client or midway through writing a difficult lesson plan. Although I will say that the Multi-Cat does a much better job of odour control somehow (but I will be reviewing that on a later day.)
Tracking & Getting Stuck in Paws
Honestly, I haven’t noticed much tracking or getting stuck in Beau’s paws. It’s very, very minimal at most. Again, it doesn’t seem to cover Beau’s paws and after he uses the litter box there’s usually a bit of litter that doesn’t make it far into the house.
Conclusion
All in all, I think World’s Best Single Cat deserves a 4.5/5. It’s a great improvement from the other litter we were using, which is surprising to us since we’ve used that one for about 3 years with no complaints. Who knew that there was a better litter out there?
So pet parents, what litter do you use? Do you have one that may top World’s Best? Let us know in the comments below and we’ll try it out!

March 1, 2018 at 4:35 pmThe magic kitty litter in Europe is Cat’s Best–clumps, lightweight, flushable, no smells, a wondrous product. I think there is one in the US that is like it but I had never heard of this one. Looks good, too.
But Cat’s Best is truly amazing.

February 28, 2018 at 6:38 pmThis is a good litter, but with 12 cats, I just get Walmart clay litter because it is more affordable.

March 1, 2018 at 9:32 amI couldn’t imagine how much bills come up to with 12 cats tbh. I love them so much that in my dream world I’d have 12, but I don’t think our incomes could handle that!

February 28, 2018 at 10:53 amWe use old-fashioned multicat clay clumping, with no perfumes. I would LURV to change to a new litter, but The Hubby won’t stand for it, since I tried many times in the past to get Chuck to use the litterbox, but in the end it was all for naught. It wasn’t the litter, or the size of the box, or the location of the box, or not enough boxes, or filled only an inch or filled to 6 inches; he had a gastrointestinal thing that we only barely got under control with steroids. Maybe I can fill one box with something new, without alerting The Hubby of what I’m doing, and start slowly…slowly…slowly…changing things over. YES! Thanks for the review, and sorry that I wrote a novel here…

February 28, 2018 at 1:37 pmHow are you finding the clay? I couldn’t stand it, and wish I could because… you know… inexpensive! But then again, I’m finding I don’t use too much of the natural stuff because it doesn’t clump all weird.
That’s a good idea, definitely do it without the hubby knowing 😉 And if you’re worried about your kitty not using the litter, try one of the herbal litters or cat attract ones. They tend to do the job just right until they learn to like the texture. (Then again, Beau will literally pee in any box even if there isn’t litter in it. It’s kind of funny… but can be devastating when it’s a box you actually wanted.)
