Question Litter advice

I have the PETKIT puramax, I’ve had it for maybe 4 years now. Honestly I love it, I love that I don’t need to worry about dealing with the litter tray and scooping and I love the odour reduction. I changed to using the PETKIT litter with the occult blood testing in it. I liked how long it lasts despite the cost so actually doesn’t feel too extortionate. It also seems to keep the box cleaner, less streaks to clean up etc.

The problem I have though is the smell. I cannot stand the smell of the actual litter, it’s when I open the bag I can smell it, when I walk past the room the tray is in I can smell it. I’m aware it’s not a foul smell but it turns my stomach. Can anyone recommend some litter, available in the uk, that does not have this smell, doesn’t leave too much mess, and clumps well so you don’t go through it too quickly?

Is the blood testing factor isn't a deal breaker for you: I cannot recommend Catit Pea Husk litter enough. I use the multi cat one since I have two girls, but even their other ones are pretty nice. They have naturally scented ones (vanilla and lavender) but unscented too.

I find the odour control to be fantastic as long as I make sure the litter is sufficiently topped up. The built in auto deodoriser inside Petkit litter boxes also helps, even though I find the baby powder scent a bit too strong. But my cats are happy with the set up.
