Cat urine smell is one
of the most powerful pet odors imaginable. If you
don't scoop the cat litter box and dispose of her waste, your kitty
may deposit her waste all over your home.
This
article gives you some advice on why you should quickly remove kitty
deposits from the cat litter box, and how it encourages her from
making
your home her giant litter box.
Cats
are fussy, clean creatures and they usually have high cat litter box
standards. You can help your cat maintain her good litter box
habits
by developing one of your own - scooping her deposits from the cat
litter box as quickly as you discover them. But, that's only half
the
battle. If you keep the trash can too close to the cat litter box, the
smell may overwhelm your cat and drive her away from her box.
Since
cats have staff (us!), one of our jobs is to keep their litter boxes
very clean. If you develop the habit of checking her cat litter
box
every time you pass by, and scoop out her waste if you see it, this is
a great partnership for maintaining a wonderful relationship
between
you and your cat. She deposits, you scoop, the box is clean again,
and everyone's happy.
Kitty
sees a clean box every time she needs to relieve herself. The urine
clumps and other solid waste don't lie in the box, permeating
your
home with the odor.
The
other critical part of this partnership is making certain the scooped
items aren't in close proximity to the cat litter box. Why?
The
smell is overwhelming to both you and kitty. Since cats have a much
keener sense of smell than you and I, she's going to get bowled
over by
the odor far earlier than you, and she'll find a fresher-smelling
area to meet her litter box needs. If that area doesn't
have a cat litter box handy, too bad for you!
In
order to keep The Cat happy, scoop out her production and deposit it into
a plastic bag. Wrap the bag tight, and select a wastebasket
that's
far enough away from the cat litter box not to be noticeable by you and
your cat. This might a neutral room where the cat litter box
isn't
located. Empty that wastebasket early and often to keep that part of
your home from smelling like a litter box.
Even if
you only have one cat, you may have more than one cat litter box.
There are many kitties who like to have one box for liquid
deposits,
and another for solid waste. Here's a good rule of thumb for determining
the minimum number of cat litter boxes you need in your
home:
"X"
cats +1 = minimum number of cat litter boxes
Pretty
easy, huh? If you have two cats, you need at least 3 cat litter boxes.
So if
you do have more than one cat litter box, you'll need to check all of
them on a regular basis. Many cats evacuate their bladder and
bowels
on a fairly regular basis, so you'll get a sense of the time of
day
and/or evening you need to make your rounds. My cat Scout usually
voids
her bladder anytime between 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM. She usually
passes
solid waste about an hour later. In the evening, she will
urinate
around 5:30 - 6:00PM, with a feces sample shortly afterward.
By
knowing the approximate schedule your cat uses the litter box, you can
plan your trips to check for scoopable products at fairly regular
times.
Her box is always clean and up to her standards. You can strategically
position a waste can far away enough from all cat litter
boxes
in your home to keep the smell out of her cat litter box area, thus
encouraging kitty to use her box all the time.
