I have a new cat Isis, she is 4 years old and a pure bred Maine Coone retired breeding cat. She's been with us since June and is a lovely animal, her only problem is her litter box stinks!
I use a clumping litter which I scoop daily, I've also tried adding baking soda.
She was eating a Holistic food called Solid Gold Katz-n-Flocken which is the same food she was eating at the breeders. The breeder also suggested Royal Canin and I'm currently in the process of switching her to this food as they have a brand that is for stinky cats.
I was doing a 50-50 split with no problems, however we still have a smell problem.
I just did a search online about Royal Canin and found this:
Suit claims pet food maker Royal Canin with deadly amount of Vitamin D

My heart sank. My last cat Minou died in May (she was 18) of renal failure. I had her on a wet Iams (not on recall) but when I spoke to the vet about her weight (she was only 5 lbs) we put her on Medical. It was not on the recall list however, it was only one digit off the recall list. My little kitty died shortly after of renal failure. I know she was old but still I wonder if it was her food and I feel terribly responsible. I was so worried about the food recall that I was making her own food for awhile but was afraid that it was not nutritionallly balanced.
So I will put her back on the Solid Gold food until I can talk to my vet.
I'm wondering if anyone out there knows what to do about the smell in the meantime, the main floor of our house stinks.
We put in a cat door so that we can move the litter box to the basement but she is afraid to use it. I will train her in a few weeks, I just don't want to put the box down there yet as that is where our guest room is and we are having my inlaws here next week.
So I would love some suggestions on smelly litter boxes and what are you feeding your furbabies?
Thanks,
Cori
