Is Dr. Elsey's Ultra Unscented Cat Litter Worth It?

Here's the part the bag doesn't spell out clearly: odor control in a good clay litter isn't a fragrance problem, it's a moisture problem. Bentonite clay works by swelling around liquid the second it hits, locking it into a hard clump before it can soak down to the bottom of the tray and start fermenting, which is where the real smell comes from. This one leans on granule size to do that job well, medium grain clay that's coarse enough to form a clump that holds together when you scoop, instead of crumbling and leaving a wet patch behind. Because there's no perfume layered on top, there's nothing to break down and go stale, which is usually where scented litters go wrong after a day or two. The same granule size also matters for your floors: bigger grains are heavier and don't hitch a ride out of the box on paw fur the way fine, powdery litters do, so less ends up tracked across the kitchen. And a genuinely low-dust formula means less of that clay cloud landing in your cat's nose or yours every time the lid comes up.
