Can anyone recommend a good air cleaner/filter for removing litter box
smell?

I don't know what you're feeding your cat, but feeding a high quality food
helps with the smell.

Huh. I feed my cat extremely premium food (Eagle Pack). It gives his
poop an absolutely toxic odor. Especially the salmon. Ugh.


Hence, I have litter
box smell between cleanings.

Hence, get off your butt!

Good idea. Hence, chill out and get off HIS butt. How rude. Perhaps
you have huge amounts of time to spare to follow your cat around and
clean the box every time it gets used, but some of us are raising
large families or have other serious demands on our time.

This newsgroup was torn apart years ago by people who used a heavy
hand with the judgmental criticism. Let's not have that happen again,
eh?

I've been told that the Ionic Breeze air cleaner is good for this type
of application. anyone have any experience with this? Any other
recommendations?

Thanks!

To the original poster: I have tried any number of air filters - from
running the bathroom fan full time to those Honeywell filters that
plug into the wall to large scale HEPA filters (these really help with
cat allergies too!). The best thing I've found in filters is the
Honeywell ones. They're quiet, some have nightlights in them, and
they plug into the wall. They're about the size of a large male hand.
They use charcoal filters. It is my experience that if you're using
them to control cat box odor you need to change the filters waaay more
often than the manufacturer says - like once a month. Fortunately,
you can buy the filters in three-packs and they're relatively cheap.
The plug-in unit is around $15-$20.

A better solution, if possible, is to change the food. If you are
using cheap food, as our mutual friend assumed you are, you can
upgrade it to Science Diet, Iams, Eukanuba, something like that. If
you're using wet food, switching to dry food is guaranteed to improve
things if my cats are anything to judge by. And if you're using wet
food and have to keep on with that (my new baby came to me with a wet
food addiction; the switch to dry food is clearly going to take a lot
of time) you can experiment with different wet foods. Like I said,
the Salmon Eagle Pack makes an ultimately vile stench. The Lamb,
Chicken, and Tuna ones are not nearly as bad. I'm using Iams to hide
my other cat's thyroid pills in, and it doesn't make his poop stink
nearly as much as _any_ of the Eagle Pack formulae do.
