Maintaining the litter box is a necessary part of owning a cat, but the task is not enviable. One of the factors cat owners need to consider is the type of cat litter to use. There are a variety of litter types on the market. In the last several years, clumping cat litter has become increasingly popular. However, there is considerable disagreement over the safety of clumping cat litter, and whether its benefits outweigh the possible health risks.
There is no big secret to keeping your cat's litter box clean and odor free. Scoop on a regular basis, replace the litter when it gets too funky to scoop any more, and use an air freshener or scented candle, if necessary. Your cat will appreciate your keeping his litter box clean almost as much as you do.
You are most likely not properly maintaining your cat's litter box effectively if you experience strong cat box odor. The best way to eliminate the odor is to make sure the litter box is large enough for your cat. Also, if you have multiple cats, you should have more than one litter box placed in different location. If you try to just cover the odor with a scented spray, you may only hide the smell for a few hours. It's important to keep your cat box clean and make sure that your cat is comfortable using the litter.
A clean, odor-free litter box is the key to happy, healthy cats and equally happy and healthy humans. Unfortunately, keeping the litter box free of odors is not always as easily done as said.
