Hi I recently found your newsgroup. It looks great with the exception
of a few trollers (don't they have lives?)

I just added two more feral cats to my home. I was fostering & couldn't
give them up. No more fostering for me as this makes five cats. I was
quite worried that it might not work out but they all get along & I've
purchased two litter lockers which are great. My only problem is the
ammonia smell from the urine is very potent. I use Tidy Cat crystals
which I like but does anybody know if something can be done to reduce
that smell?

Thanks for any insight.


At least one pan per indoor cat, cleaned daily or even twice a day.
If you can deal with the dust, a clumping clay litter works well.
There are twelve cats living with me, four or five of whom seem not to
know how to do their business outside (24/7 cat flap access) and my
six pans of clumping clay litter seem to work well. Actually, I am
bothered more by the stench of the perfume many brands of litter use
in an attempt to cover up the odor.

Odor seems to be worse in the summer, but the room with the pans has
an exhaust fan - a *large* exhaust fan - and an openable window, and
can be closed off from the house (cat flap in that door too).
