Review Summary

  • Dust control: During our testing, World’s Best Cat Litter showcased excellent dust control. It never exceeded PM2.5 with a battery of tests, making it safe to breathe.
  • Texture: The litter is super soft to the touch and our two cats had no hesitation using it. Good flushable alternative to clay.
  • Minimal Tracking: The product leaves minimal traces, making for an easier cleanup. Surprising given the tiny litter size.
  • Odor Control: With daily cleaning this litter did a great job blocking musty litter odor. It has a pleasant grainy smell (although it’s a bit unusual at first).
  • Price Point: It leans on the pricier side when compared to some other brands. A tough ask for multi-cat house needs.
  • Absorption: Whilst this litter clumps well, there’s occasional sticking to the bottom. Not challenging to remove, but worth noting. Clumps are hard though.
Score 9

Great

World’s Best cat litter for multiple cats offers a range of benefits that make it a stand out choice, but its high price and occasional clump issues slightly mar an otherwise top-tier litter experience.

More About World’s Best Cat Litter

Who are World’s Best Cat Litter?

World’s Best are a cat litter brand that uses corn in their range of unscented and scented litters. They claim benefits such as more value for money and better clumping over clay.

The products are environmentally friendly and flushable. They do not use clay or any other chemicals in their products.

Who Owns World’s Best Cat Litter?

The company started in 1996 and is an Iowan based company.

Is World’s Best Cat Litter Safe?

The PM2.5 dust levels stayed within low and healthy ranges when tested with a monitor.

This suggests World’s Best cat litter is safe for those with heart and lung disease, who are vulnerable to these fine particles.

This litter uses corn which may produce aflatoxin, a type of mold that grows in moist conditions. The company report they test for aflatoxin, but not glyphosate.

Glyphosate is a herbicide used on crops like corn and wheat. The link between glyphosate and health issues isn’t clear in cats and it’s not a proven carcinogen.

Some cats may exhibit pica, the condition of eating non-edible substances. This can relate to medical problems or nutrition imbalances (e.g. vitamin D toxicity).

For this reason, it’s best to check with a vet if you notice your cat eating cat litter.

Expert guidelines suggest maintaining a litter depth of at least 1.25 inches (3 cm) to ensure a satisfactory experience for a cat. Once the litter no longer absorbs, give it a change.
