Although cats themselves are animals that love cleanliness, we have to admit that compared to dogs, cats’ urine and feces are more smelly. Therefore, how to ensure that the indoor environment is not affected by these smells is also an issue that many pet owners are concerned about. In addition to maintaining regular ventilation and doing a good job of cleaning, there are many things we have to do.

1. Clean up the cat’s poop in time

The smell of cat poop is the main cause of odor in homes where cats are raised. Some cats don’t like to bury their poop, which simply drops a stink bomb in the home. Therefore, in addition to cleaning up the cat's poop in time, we must also let it develop the habit of not peeing everywhere. If we find that they do this, we must criticize and educate them in time, and we must not be too arrogant.

　1. Choose the right cat litter

Bentonite cat litter is the most commonly used cat litter in cat-raising families. The air humidity is high in summer, so when choosing bentonite cat litter, you must pay attention to choosing cat litter with larger particles. Bentonite cat litter with larger particles has better water absorption and clumping effects, and is not easy to spread. Small particles of bentonite cat litter can easily break into powder in hot and humid weather.

　2. Change cat litter regularly

If you want to keep your home smell-free, you must clean the cat litter box frequently. Especially in households with many cats, cleaning two to three times a day is essential. Not only should it be cleaned in time every day, but the cat litter in the litter box should be completely replaced at least once a week, and it should be disinfected with appropriate disinfectant. This not only removes odors, but also effectively prevents bacterial growth and keeps the cat litter clean and dry.

　3. Use a closed cat litter box

If you cannot clean the cat litter box in time multiple times a day, you can replace the cat litter box with a sealed cat toilet, which can effectively block the odor in the toilet. However, this approach may cause cats to be reluctant to use the litter box (after all, they will also find it smelly)

4. Use deodorizing powder

Sprinkling cat-specific deodorizing powder on the cat litter can effectively remove the odor of cat poop.

5. Eat regularly

If the cat’s diet is irregular, it will cause intestinal discomfort, and the feces will be smellier than usual. Therefore, the cat’s diet must be reasonably arranged to ensure its intestinal health.

2. Prevent the cat’s own body odor

Diseases caused by fungi and bacteria such as ear mites and ringworm in cats are more likely to be transmitted or relapse. The resulting ear odor and body odor are also one of the important reasons for odor in the home. Therefore, you should do a good job in cleaning and caring for cats, deal with problems in time if they are found, bathe cats regularly, and be sure not to forget to clean their ears after washing.

The source of cat odor is usually caused by the cat itself and its excrement. Therefore, in addition to doing a good job in cleaning, it is also very important to clean the cat well, so as to more effectively solve the indoor odor problem.
