Do you have a good solution for the smell? I recently switched to wood pellets and I swear I can’t enter the room if my cat has recently used the box.
If it’s #2, I tend to scoop (with a plastic dog bag, I don’t use one of those ) pretty much right away, tie it off & put it in the trash. I’m with @iamericandre@lemmy.world, changing to wood cut down on smell quite a bit. I change it out once a week now.
Yeah it’s #2 I have the problem with. If I’m not there when it happens the smell diffuses out into the house and lingers even once the source is disposed of. I think half the problem is my cats make no attempt to bury it with the pellets where before with the litter they would entirely cover it. I’m surprised to hear people had problems with smell with clay litter, never noticed it myself. It was the dust that drove me to switch (plus cost and environmental stuff, but if I’m being honest the dust is what finally got me to research alternatives)
You might find that switching to a different food helps with the smell. According to my vet, corn, wheat, soy, fish, beef, and lamb are ingredients likely to cause digestive issues in cats, so switching to a food with less/none of those ingredients might help. My friend’s cat had terribly stinky (but solid) poos and when she tried a different food, the smell became much more tolerable.
For #2 I scoop right away… I keep a 5 gallon bucket with tight fitting lid with a trash bag inside for all waste.
Hmm I find that the wood pellets smell a lot less than traditional grey litter
