I thought I already left a review on this, but maybe not. I'm senile like that. Anyhow, I have two senior cats--one male (a.k.a the Stinkinator) and the other female (a.k.a Smells Like Roses). I really like this litter as far as litter goes (can you be excited about litter?). I've tried most brand-name products and most often used Fresh Step, which was alright but way too dusty and expensive, and I also didn't care for the perfume; I just really hated their "extreme" version, which was nothing more than extremely useless and too clay-ish. Most other brands just didn't cut it.Although I tried this product several times and liked it, along with the regular unscented (blue bag/container), I recently wanted to give one other brand a shot that was similar, which was Precious Cat. I also did this because Amazon doesn't seem too keen to carry Premium Choice as they do the Precious Cat, as I've been noticing it less and less. So far, I can't wait to be done with the Precious Cat so I can move back to this brand ha. I felt that Premium Choice had better clumping and was less "muddy" when my senior male used the box, and I felt that it had much better odor control. Now, don't get me wrong. In order to block out Salem's foul stench, post-defecation or urination, you would need nothing short of radiation cleansing and an Israeli-style gas mask, as well as plenty of time until both cat and nuclear-type fallout cleared, but this product worked fairly well considering. In fact, I noticed far less gusto in his bragging verbal announcements after he went while using this product versus other times. Coincidence? Perhaps, but I'm more pleased that I didn't have to suffer half as much as before, especially considering the bathroom the box is in is open to my bedroom. And is that not disturbingly human male-like, for male cats to announce their deeds? I'll never understand this concept.I have not tried their scented version, but out of the baking soda version (green) and the one without (blue), I definitely prefer the baking soda version--though the blue might work okay for females. However, since it's not perfectly capable of eliminating odors 100% as I would much rather prefer, I also find that it works well to use products like Odorzout powder and/or ZeroOdor spray. Surprisingly, these two products did not help me with the Precious Cat litter, which I thought was strange, and I had scrubbed the 2-month-old box entirely before using it in order to test properly.Again, my cats are passed their retirement years (not that they have ever done much with their existence otherwise, other than stare at me in that inferior-like way, sleep, and eat), so I'm sure this makes a difference, but they go a lot and I clean the box once or twice a day. There is a slight (very slight) odor after several days of use (with cleaning/adding more), but it's more a litter smell than a urine one. The Odorzouts or Zero Odor help this, making it so I don't have to change the litter completely more than every two weeks, but I felt it worth mentioning anyway. The Precious Cat and other brands, however, flat-out smelled like urine within the first day, even after scrubbing their box clean and changing it often, so that was a big points deduction in comparison. Again, it could be my freak of a cat, and I'm sure everyone will experience different things based on their cat's needs. I just feel there's an upside to this product when it comes to odor, personally. The real test was my partner, who really does not like cats and loves to complain about the smell (and sometimes lack thereof). Even he mentioned how he couldn't smell anything, but not so with the other brand I've tried recently.The litter lasts quite a long time and works well in my Omegapaw box, and there is hardly any issue with dust. In fact, it was the least dusty one I've tried yet, which is great. It also seems to do pretty well with not sticking to the bottom of the box so much, which my male seems to enjoy aiming for--more for spite, I think. Since it's not muddy like other products, this helps even more so when it comes to that and it helps me to avoid having to bang on the bottom of the litter box like a congo drum in the early mornings or late at night. I also feel that, out of all the litters I've tried, this one tracks far less. Mind you, it is not 100% perfect in this, but I notice a dramatic difference out of the one I'm currently on, which has me vacuuming several times a day vs. once a day or every two days with the Premium Choice. I have also cut up an old yoga mat to use as a litter trap mat, since I'm way to cheap to buy a specific litter mat, and it seems to work great for that.All in all, I repent and have learned from my folly of using another product and plan to go back to this one soon. It is not perfect, but it so far seems to do the best and I can't afford to buy ones like EverClean. I don't care much for the bags and find them awkward, but that's from my laziness and something that can easily be resolved. I did save the containers from the 16-pound ones though, which does help (in case anyone was debating about that). The price is good though and I personally feel that it works pretty well. I can only hope Amazon will continue to carry the product, because it's not so easy to find. Go figure.

Super hard clumps! No odors!
This litter makes super hard clumps that don't break apart when scooped. No fragrance. Tracking is minimal. It was fairly dusty when poured from the bag, but not when scooped from the bag with a cup. Good odor control as well.

HORRIBLE, BUYER BEWARE, DO NOT PURCHASE
The media could not be loaded. I’m super upset, I have been using this cat litter for 22 years, since they came out, 22 YEARS! I have loved this cat litter, I have turned multiple friends onto this product, just over the past 6 months, I’ve been noticing, my cat not cleaning himself at all, which I thought he was going through a little phase, he sleeps in my arms and I could smell this dust in his fur, his eyes were getting goobers in them. Thought I was going crazy, until my husband said, this last batch was so dusty.I just recently went through lung cancer, so I put a N95 mask on to check it out, Nope I’m not crazy at all. They changed the product, 99% dust free MY BUTT!. I’ve tried calling the 800 number on the bag, goes directly to busy, tried to get a hold of them on their FB messenger, as soon as I did that, my account was hacked and they never answered. DO NOT BUY THIS! Starting to wonder if this had anything to do with the Tonsillar cancer I went through 5 years ago and recently the lung cancer? Ugh

Not very unscented
It still has a weird smell for being unscented when the cat scratches at it. Other than that it does what it's supposed to do and the cat didn't seem bothered by it, which is all that really matters

Pretty Good
A pretty good cat litter. Like all clay litters, it’s dusty and it tracks, but the scent is fairly minimal and it absorbs well. The I l’y downside is how long it took to get here (2 weeks) which is why I won’t be buying it again. I wish it was available closer to me.

Not a good choice
The litter does not absorb as it should and the result is a sticky mess in the pan that certainly hasn't clumped. I've increased the depth to several inches but the effort to clean up and the added expense of changing the litter so often means I won't buy this again.
