we have 2 litter boxes... one is just your basic slightly larger than average litter box, the other, a 1st generation littermaid self- cleaning box... they are located in the garage... we leave the door slightly ajar and the kitties go in and out as they please...
lately it's been really stinky! and the odor is drifting from the garage into the house! we clean it on a daily basis... we used to use the world's best cat litter but i think kolohe was allergic to it, for every once in a while his paws would flair up, get itchy, and he'd lick and pick at them causing them to be bloody... then we'd have little bloody footprints around the house... we changed the litter to schweat scoop... his feet seem to be doing better....
any recommendations for an odor control product? i was looking at clean and green... anyone try it? there was also something i think called clean air... where you sprinkle it into the litter box and it's supposed to control odor...
thanks!

also, does anyone have the breeze litter box from tidycats?
ReplyDeleteI use Feline Pine. I get it at PetSmart. It ends up like a dust. Easy to clean & I put the dust out into our compost area.
ReplyDeleteI would say to first kind of check around and make sure it is the litter box, and not that someone got mad about the litter change and went outside the box somewhere you didn't notice for a while. As far as actually stopping the smell, we use regular old tidycat or tidycat scoop so I am not sure what to recommend because they are pretty good on their own. I know that littermade has charcoal odor absorbers that you can put in the lid of the waste box, but I have never found them to do much (we have one also). They sell bags of an odor absorbing material at a lot of stores - it doesn't go in the box, just near it. Possibly that could help (like activated charcol does with stuff, or kind of like using a box of baking soda in the fridge). Baking soda does absorb odors, so you could add a bit of that to the litter to try it. I put it in the scoop pail and it seems to help out.
ReplyDeleteCareful with any scented litter, we went to Swheat too and any scented litter makes 3 out of 5 of us sick.
ReplyDeleteMum says mine gets stinky sometimes and sprays around it.. Dad says the littler makes more mess than me.. Hugs GJ x
ReplyDeleteI think checking outside the box is a good idea. When ours gets like that it normally means a puddle of pee somewhere else!!
