I know you guys posted in the old boards before but I didn't take notes...Which one(s) would you consider the best cat
litter(s)?
I have tried myself several brands, but some don't clump nicely enough for my digging cats and others do not really keep the odor in check.
Thanks for your suggestions !

I have 8 cats and have always used Scoopaway unscented up until several months ago when it became increasingly harder & harder to find. It clumped really well and everyone that came into the house always commented that they were amzed I had 8 cats and no litterbox smell whatsoever. Of course, I always did clean the boxes out twice a day. I need a litter that is fine textured because I have 2 primadonnas that won't set paw on any litter harder than talcum powder. LOL. Plus with Meadow being asthmatic, I needed one that was low in dust with no fragrance added. Scoopaway unscented fit that bill pretty well. Now I use something called Premium Choice which I find to be even better than scoopaway and cheaper too. I can't find it in any store other than a Pets Supplies Plus though.

I use plain old unscented clay litter. It's dusty and doesn't clump at all. One of my cats likes to chew litter though, so clumping isn't a good option for us. Biggest advantage is that it's cheap and readily available.

I also use unscented clay litter as Boris really likes to dig in it. It is inexpensive and controls odors very well, especially if you have a cat like Boris who wants the poop scooped as soon as he finishes burying it. Otherwise he will not use the box again until I do-so I keep two boxes going for one cat. I am still thinking potty training though as he still perches on the edge of his box to go. It's hilarious to see a 9 lb cat perch on the edge of his box and drop his stuff into the box but I haven't figured out how to get past the digging yet.

The more I hear about Boris, the more I love this cat! He's so particular and has you well-trained. What a great kitty. As for getting over his digging, I recommend you not try to change this behavior. One alternative to a cat who doesn't dig and bury is a cat who leaves his deposits out on the carpet. I think it's too risky to try to change his behavior. I do sympathize with you though. One of my cats seems to be convinced he's an Egyptian pyramid builder. Every trip into the litter box is spent digging and digging and rearranging the litter then digging some more, etc... In the process, litter gets thrown all over the place. We cope by using covered litter boxes and door mats underneath them.

Karla, the pictures of that kitty on the web site you posted are hilarious. I especially loved the captions underneath the final pic. Too funny.
