Why “Fragrant” Cat Litter Might Be Overpowering for Your Cat ?

Many cat owners love the smell of scented cat litter, but did you know that what smells pleasant to us can be overpowering for cats?

A cat’s sense of smell is 9–16 times more sensitive than ours. Even a mild fragrance might feel like being surrounded by dozens of perfume bottles! For cats, unscented or lightly scented litter is much more important.

Risks of Scented Cat Litter

  1. Respiratory irritation
    Cats may sneeze or tear up, and long-term exposure can affect their health.

  2. Hides natural scents
    Cats use smell to “mark” their territory. Masking odors can make them refuse the litter box.

  3. Potential toxicity
    Some artificial fragrances can be harmful to cats, especially with prolonged exposure.

Benefits of Unscented Cat Litter

  • Natural smell – closer to soil, which makes cats feel comfortable and safe.

  • Effective odor control – eliminates smells from the source instead of masking them.

  • Aligned with cat instincts – cats are more willing to use the litter box, reducing bathroom problems.

Conclusion: The best cat litter isn’t “fragrant,” it’s unscented + highly effective at odor control.
