Get a low dust clumping litter like Arm & Hammer with a liner in the pan. Also good for the smells. The big secret is to scoop every day with a good metal scoop. Get all of the clumps. Then I personally change the litter out and put a new liner in once a week on garbage day. Once a month during the change I hose out the pan with a little Dawn. If you have some smells mid week, throw in a quarter cup or so of baking soda to kill the smells.
I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to litter odor and this seems to work for me. |

I should look into litterpan liners, I throw our cat's litter pan out every 2-3 months because the odors impregnate it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: After seeing these kitty cats in this thread I'm heading to the local pound in a few days to see what they have. Any tips on kitty litter and other ideas to keep a bad smell out of the house? I have a 4x10 broom closet off my laundry room. I cut a hole in the dry wall and installed a cat door from HD. The litter box stays in that closet. That greatly reduces the smell. I have never noticed much difference in types of litter. My cats shred the disposable liners. |

Also string on a stick is the best cat toy ever invented.
My cats also loved a crumpled up ball of paper, they will pretty much play with anything. |

Any tips on kitty litter and other ideas to keep a bad smell out of the house? We have used "world's best - multi cat" corn based litter for the last 15 years. If you scoop daily you won't have odor problems. We also use oversize boxes made from lidded storage totes (cut an opening at one end). More room for them to get situated & hold more litter to help reduce the chance of over use. Remove the lid to clean it or if cats don't like cover. Also have at least one box per cat. |

My wife got a call from the other one and said if you do not take her in as a foster she is being put down tonight due to her biting. My wife went and got the 4 week old gray puff ball and brought her home. She picked me right away and is always in my lap or beside me when I sit down. Needless to say the foster became adopted, and man does she have attitude. |

Nice looking cat, we have three, two of them are over ten years old, the other one is about six years old.
All of them will stay active for part of the night, it just might be that the dog is in his crate for the night and they can free roam the house. |

Cat wanting attention at 2 am is almost as bad as a 1 year old GSD wanting scratches 30 minutes after turning the light out.

I have learned that most cats pick their humans.
We were living in an apartment when my wife started feeding Miss Piggy. I was against it. We (my wife) had a cat already at the time and I did not want another in the apartment. Well the wife let Piggy in, but does the cat bond with her? Nooooo. She bonds with the guy who doesn't want her there. Now I love Piggy to death. I never knew cats could be so affectionate. Plus she's cool with tummy rubs. Her cat died before we moved to our new home and Piggy was our only cat for a while. Because Piggy is so attached to me, we got Pookie for my wife. Little guy loves to give kisses. Almost like a dog. My nickname for him is Crackhead because of the crazy stuff he does. Still a dog person, but I made room for the kitties. |

I have a 2 year old Russian Blue that is an odd little fucker. He like under cover middle of the night naps for one, and won't leave you alone unless you let him under the blanket. I swear to God he thinks he can make himself invisible at times and will creep through the house being naughty, and knocking shit over.
If you call him on it. He will zoom over to where you are, climb up beside you and lay down next to you. He then disengages his cloaking device and pretends to just be waking up. Some dirty fucker chucked his very pregnant mother out of their vehicle a few winters ago during a brutally cold night when we were hitting minus 20. My Sister rescued the mother and brought her to me. No one new she was knocked up at the time, and I wouldn't know until I picked her up a day or so later. She birthed 6 babies, but only 4 made it. When it came time to give the little ones away, I couldn't bear the loss of the little guy and kept him. He's mischievous, but not a bad cat. |

I love cats. And dogs. How the fuck anybody doesn't like them is beyond me. They're just badass little wolves and tigers that want to be your friend.

The zoomies are hilarious, I like cats. Luckily every cat I have been around or have spent the night at the "cats" house, they tend to sleep close to me and never bother me.
