According to a recent survey quoted in another ad here,
69% of cat owners report that their cat's litter tray is the worst
part about actually owning a cat.
45% of cat owners find the presence of a cat litter tray to be
embarrassing when having guests over to their respective houses.
25% of cat owners place their cat's litter box in the
23 % of owners stick the litter box in the basement.
8 % go so far as to hide the litter box in the closet!
Additionally, a recent manufacture sponsored study entitled "Effect
of an odor eliminator on feline litter box behavior" by Nicole
Cottam MS and Nicholas H Dodman B.V.M.S., D.V.A. found that by
spraying the inside of a covered litter box twice per day with Zero
Odor® ** they noted "...a 40% decrease in the average number of
inappropriate eliminations..." (house-soiling) during the test period.
No other products were tested.
** Our own tests comparing the product used in the test with OdorXit®
Magic have shown that OdorXit® Magic sprayed on the inside of a
covered cat box lasts 30 to 60 times longer while introducing no odor
of its own.
The bottom line is that your cat(s) probably do not like the smell of
the litter box either. To solve this problem, we would like to put
forth some ideas for controlling the litter box odors.
1. Clumping litter leaves wet clumps of litter lays on top of the
dry litter and blocks access to the litter under it. To promote litter
box usage, you need to buy one of those electric scoop boxes or do it
yourself several times a day per box OR use standard baked clay
litter. The cats will dig a pit in which to urinate. The urine wets
the litter at the bottom of the box and accumulates, and leaves the
litter above dry. This also retards the evaporation of the water from
the urine and the resulting ammonia odor..
2. Use a large covered litter box. The key here is to spray the
inside walls and top of the cover with one pump each of OdorXit Magic.
It will absorb the odors coming from the litter for 1 or 2 weeks! When
you change the litter on garbage night, wet the bottom of the litter
box with diluted OdorXit Concentrate. It completely eliminates the
odor from the previous weeks accumulation of urine so you are starting
fresh. Put 3 quarts of baked clay litter in the pan and put it back in
service. The litter pan will require no further service for a week
3. If you have more than 1 cat, you really should have 1 litter box
per cat. Sometimes you can get by with 1 box per 2 cats, but they need
to be will believed and willing to share. With most cats, the baked
clay litter called Oil Dry at under $4 for a 40 pound bag is a real
benefit. Use the money you used to spend on litter on better quality
cat food that often produces less smelly stool.
4. For cats that still do not consistently use the litter box,
there is a litter product called "Cat Attract". This is available it 2
forms. Some times you can get a small bottle of powder from your vet
to sprinkle on top of the litter. That not being the case, you can get
a clumping litter that you can use exclusively or just spread a couple
of cups on top of the regular litter. It attracts the cats to use the
litter box and it is quite effective. When just spread on top, it does
not clump.

My cat's litter doesn't smell bad. I clean it at night and she keeps it all
covered up during the day. With the odor-eaters in with the clay pellets, it
doesn't smell outside the immediate inside area of the box. I'm not sure I
understand why you think it would and I'd need to do something besides basic
cleaning for it. I, at least, have only one cat, who will use only one box.
YMMV

But how are the spammers going to make money if you just use a regular box
with regular litter ?
Personally I can't see paying more for a cats waste facilities, than the cat
is worth.
But they must be selling those $400. hyper-powered boxes to somebody.

Tidy Cat small spaces does a great job at our house. The funny thing is our
8 year old female will run you out of the room, while the 14 male..... you
never smell his.
