## Verdict

The rare litter that every major tester lands on independently, with hard clumps and low tracking that hold up over years of use. Unscented formulation means fewer cats rejecting the box, which is the real long-term failure mode.

## For

- Forms sturdy clumps that hold up over years of use
- Good odor control
- Tracks less than other litters
- Unscented formulation means fewer cats rejecting the box
- Named Best Overall by Good Housekeeping in tested roundup

## What this tier means

- S: Exceptional. Finishes top run after run; capped at 3 slots per category.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
