We have two cats and have found that odors from the litter box comes due to
dried urine stuck to the litter box's bottom and sides. It is best to empty
the litter all out of the box once a week and wash out the box with bleach and
rinse very well if a liner is not used. This will kill bacteria and the
odors.
We use the clumping litter and works very well when we use the litter box
liners. We simply scoop out the clumps twice a day and put in fresh litter in
after we put in a fresh liner.

Subject: [Chihuahuas] OT: Smelly Litter Box
Hello,
This is off-topic but thanks for any input. I have never owned cats so do not
know much about them. I am babysitting our son's cats this week. Their litter
box stinks to high heavens. He uses clumping "the World's Best Kitty Litter".
I thought if I empty out all of the litter and wash the boxes and start with
all fresh litter it might help? Does anyone have suggestions in what to do that
won't make them not use their box? He feeds them Evo. Could their food be
making their poo really smelly? They are very healthy looking and their bodies
do not smell, just the box.
Ew,
