This litter does an ok job of clumps, but it does have a little dust when poured and it sticks to my cats feet. It doesnt work all that well with my multi cat houshold (2 cats 4 kittens) I like the plastic pails they have in the 30-40 lb variety which i clean out & use to store cat/dog food in but as for the smell even though i dig for buried treasure daily with a scoop ot still has a strong smell so i mix tidy cat multi cat litter with the arm and hammer brand and it works better to hide the smell and clumps too
