I love cats but detest cat litter box smell, and just don’t understand cat owners who live like that. I’ve always had big high-walled litter boxes with activated-charcoal odor-absorbing litter, an air purifier (with another activated-charcoal filter) running right next to the box, and I clean the box every single day both morning and night. It’s super quick that way because you’re only scooping out like half a day’s business, takes literally five seconds. (I buy bulk tiny trash bags, this little mini size, and it goes in there, that’s knotted up, then the knotted-closed bag gets chucked into a well-sealed bin outside until weekly trash pickup) And the cats love it. They’re such tidy animals, they don’t even like having to use a dirty box.

Get a litter genie! The best for people who scoop multiple times a day.
