He was neutered April 3rd. I now realize that it was just his hormones coming out. And I'm happy to report that there is no more nasty smell. His poo is now more odorous than his piddles, so it's very tolerable now. Also, I was able to switch him over to crystals quite easily by sprinkling his used clay litter over the top. Now everything dries out much faster and the smell is contained. He has a giant litter box (a plastic tote); he doesn't spray or mark; all-in-all we are very happy! I'm not sure if you read this on my other posts, but he's been accepted to Best Friends in Utah for after May 1st, but I can't take him there until after July 1st (pending his second IFA test), so it's kind of up in the air about his future there. Best, Melissa

Dixie gets the little round pearls in the pads of her paws so we are trying the chips. Also consider using a Rubbermaid or knock off storage box for his litter box (no lid please). I use the 18 gallon or larger ones and cut a u-shaped hole for the cat to walk in. More room, less concentration and high walls for any difficulties hitting the litter. I love them. I started using them when Ebony was about 18 years old and was having trouble "getting down." If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

I had to use clay litter because he didn't understand the crystals, but even so, I think when I get him switched to crystals, it will still be unbearable. Baking soda does not cover this smell. He's been neutered, and he's not marking, it's just out of his litter box. Is there anything I can feed him? Any product that could help? I couldn't even sleep last night because our house is unreasonably stinky! I love this guy, but I'm going to be embarrassed to let anyone over! Even my husband, who works around manure every day, was sickened by the smell!
