Hi there,

I keep a really clean litter box, but I also have a very sensitive nose
and live in a small place.  So I'm wondering if anyone has tried those
anti-ammonia pills/sprays for the litter box?  Does it really help rid
of the odor?  What other effective options do I have?

Thank you.

I use scoopable litter and scoop the pan daily and change it completely
twice a week.  I only have one cat.  I have found the room spray called Oust
is the best of all for odors.

i use clumping litter. it's easy to lift out the used portion every time
it's used, that can be several times a day.
i use diaper bags to dispose of the used litter.
no dirty litter, no smell!

I'm just trying "World's Best Cat Litter" for the first time.  It clumps up,
and is very cat friendly.  No odour and is flushable, which is a bonus as
the local cleaning authority doesn't like us throwing animal waste into the
trash (which is understandable, I think).

if you're really adventurous, there's this idea:

not sure how you train the cat to flush though!

working well...I, too, have a sensitive nose.

I think it is not an exciting idea as it seems.
There are adult cats that have learnt how to use human toilets (--without
the accessory advertised in above link). But for elderly cats jumping up the
toilet could be a real nuisance. So, training a cat to use a toilet would
solve your problem for now, but what will happen when your friend will turn
old and eventually refuse to go up the toilet? At that point, teaching a
senior cat to use the litter box can be very tricky...

Try a clumping litter with activated charcoal.

we've had pretty good look with Feline Pine.

I have a crazy sensitive nose--I can smell the cologne of the people in cars
driving by me when I'm on the sidewalk if they have windows open.  It's a
bloody curse.

The feline pine, when used properly, works really well.

I have a sensitive nose too --- and 4 cats. I love fresh step scoop. I
find if I scoop morning and night. Make sure to clean the cat boxes out
and completely wash them with lylsol, and let them air every 2 weeks I
have no odor. I also spay with oust when I scoop them each time. I never
get complaints from guests and believe me some of my guests would do
that.

I'd use the crystal type and keep a "litter locker" next to it.  You can get
those at Petsmart.  You just scoop the poop and it goes into a plastic bag
hanging inside the "locker".  I have five cats and two litter boxes and a
litter locker.  Works fine.  I live in a studio apt...no kitty stink!
