How do I choose the best smelling cat litter?
The best smelling option is one your cat will use consistently and that removes odor at the source with fast clumping or strong absorption, not just heavy fragrance. Choose a mild scent level that's not overpowering, and pick a low-dust, low-tracking formula to keep the area fresher between scoops. If your cat seems sensitive to fragrance, switch to a lighter-scented option.
What's the best way to control odor in scented cat litter?
To keep smells down, scoop solids and clumps at least once a day, keep two to three inches of litter in the box, and wash the box with mild soap at least once a month. Replace the entire litter as often as recommended for the type you use, and have enough boxes for your household (one per cat plus one) to prevent odor buildup. Good airflow near the box also helps keep scented litters from becoming too strong.
