Shopping for cat litter, I notice that there are two basic kinds of the
non
clumping kind (the cheap kind!): regualar and scented (multi-cat).

I am confused as to why it is marketed this way. wouldn't the highly
scented
kind be the preferable type for MOST cat owners, whether they have 1,2, or
more cats? Who, especially those like me who live in an apt., would not
prefer the litter that has more perfume?!

I realize some people may be allergic to scented litter, and some more may
just not like the scent, but I would guess these are a minority. Why is
the
scented litter marketed as 'multi-cat,' rather than the less scented stuff
sold as 'unscented,' 'hypoallergenic' or something like that?

I can't answer your specific question, but I can tell you that I look for as
little scent as possible (preferably none). Litter that is kept scooped and
changed as needed should not cause odor. But think of your cats' sensitive
noses--they are "right up close" to litter, and scented litter could be
almost intolerable to those sensitive noses (in addition to the obvious
possibility of allergies).
