Some of the things we have learned through trial and error are that cats are PICKY. (Betcha didn't know that, eh? All us cat lovers have been keeping that a secret from the rest of the world.) Cats are notorious about their litter box preferences. Cats have accidents. Cats will alert you of changes 
in medical and temperament conditions via the litter box.
Cats are picky- yep, they sure are. How many of you have come home to find litter strewn about? How many of you have come home to discover pee and poo right beside the litter box? (Or elsewhere?) How many have tried to change litter brands, only to be informed in theatrical ways that the previous litter was the preferred one for the user not the buyer?
How many of you (with multiple cats) when switching to another type of litter (from clumping to pine) discovered all save one cat found the new type comparable; however, being he one was one of your seniors and known to be persnickety (as well as over anxious), you ultimately opted not to switch after all. (All of the cats didn't seem to mind). We are now on an even keel with a mixture of both clay and clumping. Not only does it last longer (a must for any home with more than one cat) but the mixture provides an all over better smell, thus the cats prefer it.
