My bedroom reeks of a cat. And i am moving to a new house, i don't want this stink to start in my new bedroom/house.
(I scoop daily, wash litter box every 2 weeks, i don't know why my bedroom stinks like a pet so much. I give my cat a bath whenever he needs to be bathed, vaccuum the room every 2 weeks, wash sheets and blankets almost every week. i am planning to get the bed's mattress professionally cleaned before moving (my cat sleeps on it with me). carpets have been professional cleaned and dried twice in the last 10 months (I got him a year ago). i wiped the wall beside the litter box with lysol wipes, what else could i do to get the stink out? Everybody who visits my room says the same thing that it reeks of a pet, even if i did all the cleaning and changing to brand new litter a second before.) Is this natural in a cat-house/bedroom? (I am worried my new bedroom will start stinking the same. Where do you keep your cat's food bowl and litter box? Honestly, i am so conscious about this issue that i even think about giving him to someone else, but then i feel extremely guilty about it because i adopted him and he's literally an innocent baby to me, but i can't help the thought because i am equally passionate about having a beautiful new room (it'll be the first time i'll get to have stuff of my own choice, my own decorations and all. I don't want his litter box and food bowls in my new bedroom, but i don't want any other room reeking of a pet-odour either).
It'll be all hardwood in my new house, and i don't want it ruined. I am really confused right now. I can't imagine living without him, i know his personality and i love him, but i love a peaceful clean environment too. What do i do? (I don't want to end up making an entire floor stinky by keeping the litter box out in the open or in the basement, right now it's just my room that stinks, but because i keep my room's door closed most of the time, the odour doesn't get to other rooms on this floor.)
-canada (and not very rich to be able to afford some special heated shed or sunroom for him. i tried keeping his litter box in the washroom once. and the entire floor started stinking because i left the door open 24/7 with fan on....but i guess he wasn't comfortable there so he jumped out of the litter box too early maybe)
