     I like dry when it hits the toilet, just because it absorbs urine 
better, but what's even better is if it has gotten damp and started 
to decay a bit, and then dried.  That stuff stops odor better than 
anything.

     However, it's yet another layer of complexity, so I'm sticking 
with fresh hardwood sawdust from the local hardwood mill.
