Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

Can I just hijack this a little bit? I use Oko plus but want to try out Nature's Gold...

what are the main differences? is it bad at clumping? And why do I have to use more of it? Thanks!

I've never used Oko plus, so I can't compare, sorry
Is Oko like Worlds Best?

Okay, well, I have used WB - found it dusty, tracking was *really* bad, used to get all over cats paws, bums etc, plus it had a weird smell. With Natures Gold, it's small cream pellets, tracks much less, clumps well, but not quite as well as WB, but still good enough for me not to change back to WB; it doesn't stick to paws or bums and it smells pleasant too

Thank you! Does it clump well enough to still be able to scoop out the wees fairly easily?

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

Nature's Gold does not stain the coat.

My persian is a red smoke and i've never had any issues with it.

OKO PLUS:
*superb clumping ability
*soft and gentle on paws
*economical
*easy to scoop and clean
*lightweight
*great for masking and preventing smells
*tracking is terrible and requires frequent hoovering

NATURE'S GOLD:
*very good clumping ability
*not bad economy
*fairly easy to scoop and clean
*fairly lightweight
*great for masking and preventing smells
*barely any tracking at all
*if not used deeply it tends to 'collect' in lumps caused by urine at the bottom of the tray meaning a large lump needs scooped out and you will need to top up often.

On paper, nature's best doesn't seem that great, but if you can't bear tracking it is the answer, i wouldn't use anything else now.

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

To answer the OP's original question, Natures Gold does NOT stain the fur. My (shorthaired) cats have white feet/legs and they were still pure white when they were using Natures Gold.

It doesn't clump nearly as well as Cats best Oko though as it is in pellet form rather than granules. I found that when you scoop the wees a few bits break off meaning that the whole tray needed to be emptied far more regularly than it does with Cats Best Oko.

I'm searching for a clumping, minimal tracking litter so if anyone has any suggestions fire away!

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

If you leave the wee for a wee while then scoop it out, it will have 'hardened' and won't break up as much

gees anyone would think i worked for Cat's best lol!!
