I have tried many cat litters...and with 4 cats i had to find a good one...and Tidy Cat seems to work the best....for odor,clumping and scooping....and it also is less expensive than most brands.I think that the best thing is I can usually find it anywhere in an emergency kitty poo situation....from walmart,lowes,to 7-11...but of course at 7-11 the reasonable price does not apply.
