I'm curious, too. I have seen it but couldn't imagine it working that well.

I use the cheapest clumpable I can find! I recently bought a cheap tote and cut a hole in the middle of the cover. My two cats have to enter to use the litter box. I now have almost no odor! The cats are almost 10 years old and didn't object to my "new" way of doing things.

Ii has been around for 5-6 years at least. Got it as Wally world and then for a time they didn't have if but do now. It is in a purple bag and works great. No smell like the clay litter. Our cat is 20 years old in a few months. She likes the stuff now that she doesn't go outside so much.

The food is too rich, or of poor quality if the cat box is foul. A little odor is normal, stinking you out of the house means his food is a problem. Never had a sick cat in 40 years following that advice. |
I'm having this problem, (new to me) of having a stinky cat box in my bathroom. I bought expensive clumping litter at a "name brand" pet store. The cat drinks a lot of water every day, and it all goes into the litter box. The litter says "clumping", but it does not clump. I have to dump it more than once a week.
I'm going to try the baking soda, but I can't wait until spring when I can put the cat outside. We just got him a few months ago as a shelter cat and he was very scared for a few weeks. He's OK now, but I'm afraid the put him outside now. He might not come back, and the way he acts around the house, I think he was a house cat before someone dumped him in the woods. We live in the country, so he will have fun outside as soon as I can be sure he knows us enough to come back when called. I can't wait to get rid of the litter box in the house. All our other cats were outside cats that came in if they wanted to. |

I don't understand this. Is it the wet food or the dry food that makes the stink? We are feeding dry food only, and was told that the litter box would not stink as much with dry food. But it does.

I just recently saw on TV, that cats prefer a box for each process. One for pee and one for poop. Don't have any cats so am not sure this is true.

I use tidy cat light weight. I scoop twice a day & it lasts a week. Love the glade scent but hard to find. I have 6 cats.

If you don't break up the clumps and clean every day, the box should not smell. This is my experience and I have 9 cats. Only 3 inside. I'm curious how the corn litter works...does it absorb the liquid?
