Help my puddy lol My (late) Burmese boys were human toilet trained on the second loo near the back door - no smells, passing humans had the duty to push the flush button. Never could get the cats to do that g I read a story about a cat that was "fixated"m on flushing the toilet. He really ran the water bill up because he spent so much time flushing and watching the water go down.

I use Arm & Hammer scoopable, and I scoop it out religiously every day.

Help my puddy lol Many fine suggestions already, but the food is also important. When I fed the cats crappy food, like 9-Lives or Friskees or some supermarket brand (cheap), the box gets full quickly and stinks. When using a quality food (Proplan, Wellness, etc) there is less output and it doesn't really smell much. Contrary to what most people recommend (1 litter box for each cat plus 1 extra), all three of my cats use one litterbox. I never have a problem. Use good quality food. |

Many fine suggestions already, but the food is also important. When I fed the cats crappy food, like 9-Lives or Friskees or some supermarket brand (cheap), the box gets full quickly and stinks. When using a quality food (Proplan, Wellness, etc) there is less output and it doesn't really smell much. YES, food can make a big difference. "Garbage in, garbage out." What kind of litter box do you have? Covered boxes, for instance, tend to trap odors more, especially if the cat urinates and it seeps inbetween the two pieces of the box (ask me how I know. . .) I have to clean the one covered box we have more often because of this. Scoop often, twice a day is good, and wash out the box regularly. I use either Oxiclean or baking soda to clean the box out. |
