What, in your opinion, is the best un-scented clumping cat litter?

Why?

I don't have a *wide* variety of experience, but I've tried a handful, and my favorite is whatever is on sale at Safeway because it is often half the price of the others. So far I haven't found any one to be functionally better than others.

Warning: Scoop Away unscented (which I bought last time by this algorithm) HAS A SCENT. Whoo eee. I won't make that goof again.

Funny, I just noticed that that the "unscented" toilet paper I bought because our usual brand wasn't available does in fact have scent. What's going on there I wonder?

(We use "tidy cats" litter and are very happy with it, but I'd say it's not available in the USA)

"unscented" does not mean fragrance-free. Unscented products often have a masking fragrance. Additionally, products in permeable containers can absorb scent from nearby products on the store shelf, from air freshener in the air at the store, and from the evil little stinky perfume gnomes.

Thanks for the explanation.

I guess as they stack up all the "unscented" toilet paper next to the lavendar and sea breeze and whatever the hell else then it becomes scented + masking fragrance.

Pardon me while I go beat my head on the bathroom sink...

still is

...Or at least I've purchased some recently enough that I have an unexpired coupon that I pulled off of a jug of it. IIRC, it was "antimicrobial odor control" and was actually a substitution for something Safeway.com was out of. Not unscented, but our kitties are (blessedly) unpicky. And it was nowhere near as obnoxious as the Jonny Cat low-tracking multi-cat stuff.

Safeway's scoopable with baking soda isn't too bad. I just wish it were available in buckets...

I also seem to recall that Pet Gold scoopable (from Petco, which I have mixed feelings about) isn't too bad, and (discounting the PITA factor) the open bin that you refill litter jugs from might allow whatever neutralizing scents there are too off-gas a bit.

I've got a coupon for World's Best Cat Litter, but haven't tried it yet...
