This kitty litter is completely odorless, provides excellent odor control, and is unscented, so it basically goes undetected in your home. We found that, considering the odor control and the 40-lb. box, it is also a fantastic option for those with multiple cats, since it will last you a long time and helps keep litter box stench at bay. In addition to its odor control, we were also very impressed by how well it clumps, which made cleaning the box even easier. With that said, there was more dust compared to the other cat litters we tested, which could be an issue for those with carpet in their home.

Can I buy scented cat litter?

But if you feel that some sort of nice smell is a must then go for one which explicitly says the smell is only activated when the litter is used. You won’t be greeted with a strong whiff of lavender when you open the bag and your cat won’t be put off, but when they do nip to the loo, your house won’t be overcome with an unpleasant smell.
