When I do the weekly deep clean on five boxes,I use Odorban. Have always used the baking soda in bottom before adding the clean litter as well. The two work wonderfully and have never had an odor problem.

When I had cats I vacuumed in the morning before leaving for work. By the time I got to work I felt like I had already "worked". Only hack I have to offer is to open double hung windows a crack top and bottom to maintain air curculation. No matter the weather -hot cold dry or rainy- it works and you come home to a fresh house not a stale one.

I'm sorry I don't want to offend you but there have been too many reports of cats getting injured with those types of windows being left cracked open. I live in the south and it's usually too hot to do that anyway. My air conditioner has to run most of the day and that helps keep air circulating.

My cat would track litter around, so I bought one of the litter catch mats. my cat didn't like the texture of it and would leap over it from out of the cat box! Word of advice: get a mat your pets don't mind the texture of 😁

Thanks for the video! I work from home so I'm around when my cat does his B'ness!! I go clean it as soon as he's finished. I know that's not an option for everyone-it's just a routine that I've gotten use to. I've been doing the baking soda base in the litter box for a while now. Also after digging for his "buried treasure" I take the baking soda box and "draw" an x pattern with fresh baking soda on top of the fresh litter. So if I miss one of his trips I have a visual conformation when/if the x is altered.

I been growing up having cats throughout my life. So I know what's to come when cleaning is in order. I have two so the two litter box, plus an extra is key. Each one has a camera to show me to make sure they're doing their business. Vomit is no brainer unless it's on my bed and that's annoying. So far one cat is diabetic so he drinks a lot of water as such the litter box is cleaned constantly. Even his toes clumps in the webbings. but he's saving me the trouble of doing it outside so it wouldn't be a problem.

I keep a mat under the litter box, but my cat tends to make a point of jumping out of the box to reach the floor instead of walking on the mat. Never had a cat do this before the one I have now, and he’s so big, it’s not hard for him to jump that far, then he tracks it out into the hallway. 🤷‍♀️

Mine do the same! I have a mat that normally sucks up the litter so that it isn't around the house. Mine decided that it was a good Idea to just jump out of the litterbox and skip the mat. Idk what to do I tried EVERYTHING and they still skip the mat. Even bought a new one and nothing changed. I hope your problem will be solved soon because I know the struggle!

My mama cat is very good at self grooming . She has a lot of hair shedding and my house is hard work to keep clean. She is unfriendly to human touch and will not allow brushing. Wasn’t socialized by previous owner. How can I help her? Self grooming also leads to hair ball vomits!

I have what I consider a serious problem. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Molly, my second cat, was adopted almost a year ago. My Daisy, I’ve had for 2 1/2 years. She’s also adopted as are both my dogs. Issue:Daisy hates Molly. When Molly first came home she hid in my spare room closet. Daisy’s litter box is in there as are the dog crates. The dogs use their crates for sleeping. When Molly ventured out she started hiding in my bedroom closet. Daisy used to sleep with me. When Molly in my room, Daisy didn’t come in. Molly started sleeping with me. About a month later, I took them both for nail trims. When I brought them home I thought it might be a good time for them to try and get used to each other. I let both of them out of their carriers on the floor in front of my bed. Total bedlam! Molly went after Daisy and scared her so badly she doesn’t come all the way down the hall anymore. I have a gate up during the day so my one dog can’t get in and pee on everything. Daisy managed to clear the gate, she was so afraid. So, fast forward to now. Molly lives in my room. She will occasionally come into the living room and kitchen. My dogs don’t bother her unless Daisy tries to go after her. Then my small rat terrier gangs up with Daisy. Molly has already put Stella in her place; she’s all noise, but Molly will charge her and Daisy is still after Molly….this happened just this morning, again. I don’t know how to help them get along. In the evening there’s a standoff with Molly laying almost in the living room and Daisy laying about 2 feet away. I don’t know what happens, but Daisy starts growling, then Molly and they charge each other. Usually all I need to do is pick up a spray bottle and they both run off. Any help would be very greatly appreciated! I love these fur babies and they’re attached to me. This coming week I’m going to go to our humane rescue where I got Molly and see if they have any ideas. I’m really at a loss. I’ve always had dogs. Daisy was my first cat. So, I’m a novice in the cat world. Thanks for reading my story.

I’ve always had cats and I didn’t know that some just won’t accept another. But one time, I had a boy and a girl who were siblings and were both very affectionate and loving , then my ex husband dumped the cat he’d got our daughter on my doorstep, long story. This cat was a female rescue cat, so no history but she was adamant that my daughter was her mom. When she came to live with us, she would attack my female cat, to the point of it was to kill, not just a vicious fight, she’d go straight for the neck! It was awful, this cat would also pull her fur out when my daughter was away at university. I didn’t know that stress can actually kill a cat and even though they were always monitored and separated, my female passed away. One of the worst grieving experiences I’ve ever had. This cat was always okay with my male cat but he’s a big softie so she always gets her way. There’s KZfaq videos to help with this problem and the ones I’d recommend are by Jackson Galaxy. All the best and good luck 😻
