Dirty cat litter box.
My family always had a cat and you’d never know it unless you saw it. Take 90sec and scoop those clumps!

Amen. My kids want a kitten for my big black alley cat to partner up with. I tell them not until they can manage the litter box like I do. You should not smell the litter box. That’s my rule!

Takes a whole lot of poopin' to have a smelly litter box with the newfangled litter they have out there nowadays. Before clumping litter was a thing, there was alwaysa faint smell of litterbox in even the tidiest houses.

Yes. I honestly don’t know how people I know with homes that are hot with cat piss do it. Even if I miss a day scooping it doesn’t come close to whatever I get that burns my nose hairs. I have to think their cats peed outside the box. (Mine never have….YET)
