Cats Best Nature Gold

Hi there

Do any of you use this litter? I bought a bag to try it out yesterday, but am a bit concerned. I always run a little tester under water so that I can see how well it absorbs urine (i have long hairs, and don't want staining or wet feet). When i did this with Nature Gold, it clumped up nicely and absorbed well, but the clump itself felt a bit pasty. The substance stayed on my fingers even after I'd gotten rid of the litter. So, i have a few questions.

First of all, for those who use it, have you noticed staining to the cat's feet? have they come out with residue on their paws? Is it harmful if ingested, both in cats and kittens?

I'm really concerned about using this, and am half tempted just to give the trial bag away.

Hi Carly87, I use Natures Gold litter, currently in 3 of my 4 trays. I'm in the process of changing over to this litter fully. I find Natures Gold to be one of the best litters I have used so far. It leaves no residue on my cats paws; unlike Worlds Best which was very messy for both the cats and my house

I have no idea about it being harmful if ingested. Thankfully, none of my cats are interested in eating their litter, and none of my 3 cats came to me before 13 to 14 wks old. I'm sorry, I don't know about younger kittens ingesting litter, but hopefully someone else will be along to advise on this.

IMO Natures Gold is good litter; it minimises odour, good clumping, lasts well, doesn't track anywhere near as bad as some litters, and it doesn't get stuck on my cats bums/paws like Worlds Best, so it ticks quite a few boxes for me

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

I've been using this for a while now and love it!!

There's no odour with it, it's economical, and it doesn't stick on hair or paws.

It hardly tracks (unlike oko plus) and is easy to scoop (although you use more than oko plus).

I have a persian and have no trouble at all, seems a shame to throw out such a great litter.

Give it a go, i doubt you'll be disappointed

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

We only use Catsan cat litter for our Ragdolls and Birmans (the white catsan) would use no other cat litter it really is that good.

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

Agree that Nature's Gold is very good and that Catsan is very bad!

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

Can anyone tell me the consistency of this litter?

I started on Worlds Best but worried that was too dusty, so switched to Cat's Best Oko Plus, but it doesn't seem to clump quite as well as WB, so I was going to switch back, but would be willing to give Nature Gold a try if it's closer in consistency and clumping to Worlds Best.

I agree 100%. Catsan is useless.

Re: Cats Best Nature Gold

I have Ragdolls and Show Birmans and switched to Oko Plus last year and appart from the tracking issue I have no complaints to this litter. I only use Catsan at cat shows. I have also recently switched to using a piece of vetbed in front of one of the litter trays and the tracking has reduced around the house. The vetbed seems to pick up the litter off their paws better than one of the proper litter tray mats.
