I’ve seen World’s Best Cat Litter recommended on different websites, especially sites about earth friendly pet products, but it’s one litter I’ve never tried. Honestly with my budget, 5 cats and the amount of litter I go through each week, the cost kept me buying the cheap clumping litter. But when Drew from World’s Best Cat Litter asked if I was interested in trying it, I decided to go ahead and see what all the buzz was about.
Drew sent me an 7lb bag of the Multiple Cat Clumping Formula and I purchased 2 more bags since I wanted to give it a real good test and needed about 2-3 inches in my litter box. Plus the bag says one 7 lb bag would last 3 cats 10 day, I wanted to test for longer than the 5-6 days I figured it would last 5 cats.
World’s Best Cat Litter (WBCL) is made from corn so it is biodegradable, great if you are looking for an environmentally friendly product. It’s flushable and safe to use with septic system. It has 2 formulations- Clumping Formula for 1-2 cats and Multiple Cat Clumping Formula for 2 or more. The Multiple Cat contains an added-plant material to help with odor control. It comes in 7lb, 8lb, 17lb and 34lb sizes.
I liked the litter right off the bat. There was absolutely no dust when I poured the bags in the box. Usually I am coughing and breathing in litter dust for a half hour after adding it in. This was a nice difference and very important if you have a cat (or human) with asthma. The litter had a nice sweet scent to it which was another plus over my regular clumping litter. I used the Biddy Box I have for the WBCL and normally when I fill it up, I add a whole 40lb bag of clumping litter to the box. I only needed 2 1/2 bags of the 8lb bags to fill it to about the same level with the WBCL.
One thing to beware of, is that some animals may find the litter good enough 
to eat (this is corn-based and some animals are carb addicts just like us), WBCL does warn about cats eating it, but dogs may find it just as appealing, My dog, Havoc, was “helping” me set up the litter box and I had to set up the barrier I usually have around the box to keep him out because he was taste-testing it. I’m not sure what if any problems would come from eating the litter, but I worry about anything with clumping tendencies possibly causing blockages.
My litter box maintenance includes a big clean-up in the morning and smaller clean-ups when needed through the day. When regular clumping litter fills the box, I feel like I may as well be digging through the hard clay soil in my backyard to find the buried treasure. I was surprised at how light the WBCL is, even when the box is full of litter. The urine clumps were fine, while sometimes there were smaller clumps, I didn’t find this any different from my regular litter. I had no problems with the clumps breaking down while I scooped and dumped them into the garbage bag. I don’t put my clumping litter into the toilet; I stopped years ago after trying a different brand of natural litter and finding the clumps were more of a gummy mess and I was concerned about clogging up the toilet (grew up with a plumber in the house). Because of this I can’t comment on how well the WBCL works when flushed, they do say it disperses in water which would prevent clogs. One area I found WBCL to excel over my regular litter was in keeping the odor down. When I walked into the bathroom where the litter box is kept, not once did I smell feces or urine, just the sweet scent of the WBCL.
The only issue I had with WBCL was 2 of my cats decided to stop using that litter box. WBCL does recommend that for cats who have problems with abrupt changes to start by changing just 1/3 of the litter in the box to WBCL, then go to 2/3rds then the whole box. I did a sudden switch for the sake of the review and because I really didn’t expect a problem with my crew as I never had one before. Now I know that I’ll need to do a slow change. Because of the 2 cats not using the box, I couldn’t compare litter tracking between the WBCL and my regular litter. I do know that the outside of the box mess I usually cause trying to dig through the box was much less because of how light the WBCL is.
Review Round-up-
+ Very low to no dust
+ Pleasant scent
+ Great odor control
+ Flushable (as WBCL points out on their bag, regulations vary as to whether it is okay to flush litter box waste in your area)
+ Environmentally friendly
+ Requires less litter than regular clumping litter to fill to the same level
+ Light making it easy to scoop all the way to the bottom of the box
+ Clumps well, but breaks down in water so it shouldn’t cause problems with plumbing
+ Has a formula for multicat households
– Some cats and dogs may find it appealing to eat
– Some cats may have a problem with a sudden switch from the current litter, so a slow change-over may need to be done.
Overall I was impressed with World’s Best Cat Litter. While I’ve gone back to my regular litter because of my 2 cats that stopped using this box, I am going to try it again with a slow change-over and see how it goes.
