Oooo...pictures!!!!

Hmmm...I have tried crystals once...not a good idea for cats who like to dig and refuse to use enclosed litter trays.

After that adventure I stick to Breeder's Choice though I am toying with the idea of mixing a few crystals in with it and seeing what the results are.

I get Arm & Hammer Unscented scoopable litter for Spike.
I also mix a little of the Arm & Hammer Crystal Blend into the unscented litter.

I do it for odor control, although I found Arm & Hammer litterbox deodorizor which I may start using.

I really dislike scented litter... it's just SO strong. That's why I mix a bit of the crystal blend into a majority of unscented.

Right now, I'm using Fresh Step, which is made by Clorox.
I used to love Scoop Away, but they went through a bunch of formula changes, and I found that it tracked out on their paws way too much.
Fresh Step seems fairly good, although it has a more chemical smell to me than Scoop Away did. It has the benefit of being sold at the local supermarket, as is Tidy Cat and Scoop Away. Since I dont drive (I live in NYC) I use a folding shopping cart to lug stuff like litter home so the less I have to travel the better.

I've tried Litter Pearls, but thought that they developed an odor much more quickly than the product claimed to. One of my cats didn't like them at all. I've also tried some of the litters made of alternate substances, such as Yesterday's News and Feline Pine, but I didnt like their odor.

Do the people with several cats find Tidy Cat to be good? I've only tried it once.

Same here except mine is the clumping kind...I have 4 kittens in the house right now...one a woman at work gave me and 3 I rescued.
This litter seems to keep the odor down well.

So far out in left field I got lost
I use Tidy Cat for Multipe cats with the blue label. The boys want use anything but the clumping kind. I did try the regular Tidy Cat since the big bag was a lot cheaper but they used the bathroom outside of the litterbox. It's funny how they get used to something and doesn't want to change

Premium Choice Extra Clumping Litter — works great completely unscented.

50 lbs bags for $10 sale price at Pet Club (California locations). Isn't that an amazing price??!
They regularly put this on sale . . .maybe every couple weeks.. . so I know my kitties will never be without.

I use arm and hammer with crystal, it is the best out of all I have tried.

I used fresh step first, then switched to tidy cats with crystals, then I tried pawpurr, and now arm and hammer with crystal and i will be sticking with that!

Cat's Pride natural cat litter. No clumping, no deodorizer, no anti-bacterial, just plain old clay litter. I've never had problem with odors.

we use "Everfresh with Activated Charcoal" -it's a low-track clumping litter in one box for our kitty that refuses to use the "Feline Pine" that we use in the other boxes.

I also use Fresh Step Scoopable because of the Paw Points. They are supposed to have changed some of the items you can earn starting in July - now they have a window perch - that's what we're saving for now. We got the pet bed (which they'll be discontinuing the end of the year or until supplies run out) - but the girls mainly play in it/with it as they sleep in bed with us.
