It absorbs odoers more easily and is easier to maintain. If not crystal litter, use a quality litter—this is KEY!Keep the litter box scooped regularly.

If you don’t get a HEPA filter, then you are wasting your money. HEPA filters will eliminate odors and get rid of allergens.

That being said, there are quite a few new ways of keeping your kitty litter smelling like roses. There's nothing like keeping those funky odors under control, while still keeping your kitty cat happy. When I adopted my kitten Yoda back in 2008, I had already a French bulldog named Spike. I wasn't looking to get a cat, but this kitten approached me on the way back from walking Spike, and I just couldn't leave her outside. Her mother had died and it was up to me, even though I wasn't much of a cat person. The next few weeks included me given her a bottle every four hours, because yes, she was that young (less than two weeks). Training her wasn't a problem, but oh my, the funky odors that stem from her litter needed to be addressed immediately.

1. Fred's DIY Self Venting Cat Litter This DIY project was created by a reader and we have to say that we're impressed with the ventilation aspect. We need this kind of thing as soon as possible in our place! 2. Tackling Litter Box Odors This other DIY solution is also a good way of getting rid of all of those annoying smells. Also, building this isn't that complicated. 3. Automatic Cat Litter Boxes This roundup includes four of our favorite automatic cat litter boxes.

If you recall, at the end of “Airing (and sharing) some thoughts about indoor air quality,” I wrote: “Incidentally, indoor air purifiers are available, but I’ve not done enough research on these so as to learn which ones add ozone to the indoor air and which do not. It’s probably worth further investigation and a follow-up report.” Well, it’s time for that follow-up report. In presenting information, I felt it best to get and give an unbiased view. So, I consulted the California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board (ARB) May 31, 2006 news release: “Some Devices Marketed as Air Cleaners Dangerous to Public Health.” In it is information worth sharing. “Devices marketed as air cleaners or air purifiers are not always good for your health, a report to the California Air Resources Board (ARB) revealed last week,” ARB wrote in the release.

“According to the report, there are devices that intentionally generate ozone, a key component of smog, resulting in indoor ozone concentrations well above health-based state and federal ambient air quality standards.” In evaluation trials, in a small but furnished room, with atmospheric (temperature and humidity) conditions replicating those that are quite commonly encountered and, in following manufacturer instructions, the ARB’s findings were such that for all devices tested, levels of ozone emitted were above “health-based standards;” levels that “can pose a serious health risk,” according to information presented in the release. “One model produced room concentrations more than 4.5 times the health-based state ambient air quality standard for ozone. At elevated levels, ozone can exacerbate asthma, cause lung damage and lead to difficulty in breathing.” The ARB in the release further went on to state: “Today’s report to the Board specifically covered devices that purposely generate ozone, which are marketed by manufacturers who make false health claims regarding the effectiveness and level of ozone being emitted from the device.
