Many friends around us choose to raise cats, but what should we do if we find that the cat has a peculiar smell? In addition to cleaning it every day, you also need to clean the cat's living environment by handling the cat's hair. In addition, what other methods can be used to solve this problem?

Causes of odor in cats:

1. Fixed place for defecation

First of all, we must allow cats to relieve themselves in a fixed place, remove excrement in the litter box in time, keep the litter box clean, and flush toilets shared by humans and cats frequently.

2. Don’t like to bury poop

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. You will smell a pungent smell every day when you come home.

3. Choose the right cat litter

Cat deodorization

Understand the cause of the odor first, and the subsequent deodorization will be easier!

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 and choose cat litter with larger particles. The water absorption effect and clumping effect are relatively good, and it is not easy to spread.

Taiwan’s climate makes it easy for bacteria to breed. Diseases caused by fungi and bacteria such as ear mites and ringworm in cats are more likely to be transmitted or relapse. Ear odor and body odor caused by ear mites and ringworm are also one of the important reasons for odor in the home.
