When I do the weekly deep clean on five boxes,I use Odorban. Have always used the baking soda in bottom before adding the clean litter as well. The two work wonderfully and have never had an odor problem.
0:43 Thought I was the only one who has a🐱 that eats like a 🐷 ! It’s always a mess 😅
Cheers from San Diego California
When I had cats I vacuumed in the morning before leaving for work. By the time I got to work I felt like I had already "worked". Only hack I have to offer is to open double hung windows a crack top and bottom to maintain air curculation. No matter the weather -hot cold dry or rainy- it works and you come home to a fresh house not a stale one.
I'm sorry I don't want to offend you but there have been too many reports of cats getting injured with those types of windows being left cracked open. I live in the south and it's usually too hot to do that anyway. My air conditioner has to run most of the day and that helps keep air circulating.
@@PennySue never heard of cats injured by windows. I do not live in a hot climate.
@@superditdit48 copied this from an article....
"Acute traumatic paralysis of the hindlimbs after getting caught in a 'bottom-hung window' has been reported in cats."
Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately, not everyone has double hung windows, or lives in a neighborhood where it’s safe to leave your windows open.
EXCELLENT AMAZING INFO! Rocco & Roxie for urine on fabrics wood carpets and tile, pretty much everything. However, it is expensive but works with enzymes that eat the bacteria that causes the smell! Have used it for 2 years and there is no substitute. It works for real!
My cat would track litter around, so I bought one of the litter catch mats. my cat didn't like the texture of it and would leap over it from out of the cat box! Word of advice: get a mat your pets don't mind the texture of 😁
i would add baking soda at the bottom of the freshly cleaned cat litter once every week. I have 2 cats and they lobe it when their litterbox is cleaned weekly. 2 cats means double work too 😊
Mine actually lay down in the clean litter 😆😆
👍😻😺🤗🙌very good info!
Glad you think so!
Very informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
@@ThePurringJournal Yes indeed.
Thanks for the video! I work from home so I'm around when my cat does his B'ness!! I go clean it as soon as he's finished. I know that's not an option for everyone-it's just a routine that I've gotten use to. I've been doing the baking soda base in the litter box for a while now. Also after digging for his "buried treasure" I take the baking soda box and "draw" an x pattern with fresh baking soda on top of the fresh litter. So if I miss one of his trips I have a visual conformation when/if the x is altered.
Wow, you're definitely on top of things! If you haven't already, I recommend looking into self-cleaning litter boxes.
@@ThePurringJournal Thank you! Sorry for the late reply. Yes a self cleaner was part of my latest purchase for him. He also got a Cactus shaped/colored scratching post!
Lovin it 🥰
I keep a mat under the litter box, but my cat tends to make a point of jumping out of the box to reach the floor instead of walking on the mat. Never had a cat do this before the one I have now, and he’s so big, it’s not hard for him to jump that far, then he tracks it out into the hallway. 🤷♀️
Mine do the same! I have a mat that normally sucks up the litter so that it isn't around the house. Mine decided that it was a good Idea to just jump out of the litterbox and skip the mat. Idk what to do I tried EVERYTHING and they still skip the mat. Even bought a new one and nothing changed. I hope your problem will be solved soon because I know the struggle!
@@victoriashorseyspam I have one of those mats too! I’m thinking about going back to a stiff throw rug as my other cats didn’t mind stepping on it. Maybe he just doesn’t like the plastic feel. It’s worth a try.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 yeah I would recommend that! We also decided to try that so I really hope it will work and that they will be more comfortable
Mine too!! Thank goodness I vacuum about every day. Hate stepping in litter lol 💗
I been growing up having cats throughout my life. So I know what's to come when cleaning is in order. I have two so the two litter box, plus an extra is key. Each one has a camera to show me to make sure they're doing their business. Vomit is no brainer unless it's on my bed and that's annoying. So far one cat is diabetic so he drinks a lot of water as such the litter box is cleaned constantly. Even his toes clumps in the webbings. but he's saving me the trouble of doing it outside so it wouldn't be a problem.
My mama cat is very good at self grooming . She has a lot of hair shedding and my house is hard work to keep clean. She is unfriendly to human touch and will not allow brushing. Wasn’t socialized by previous owner. How can I help her? Self grooming also leads to hair ball vomits!
I recommend seeking advice from your vet on how to gradually socialize her. I know it's easier said than done, but please don't get discouraged! Cats like this need extra love and patience. Best of luck.
Thank you. I think she was abused and is traumatized. She is a beautiful cat with compassionate soul. Her son and daughter make up for my need to love and pet them!!
Use the stall pellets like Mallard Creek brand, cheaper & works better than cat litters.
I have what I consider a serious problem. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Molly, my second cat, was adopted almost a year ago. My Daisy, I’ve had for 2 1/2 years. She’s also adopted as are both my dogs. Issue:Daisy hates Molly. When Molly first came home she hid in my spare room closet. Daisy’s litter box is in there as are the dog crates. The dogs use their crates for sleeping. When Molly ventured out she started hiding in my bedroom closet. Daisy used to sleep with me. When Molly in my room, Daisy didn’t come in. Molly started sleeping with me.
About a month later, I took them both for nail trims. When I brought them home I thought it might be a good time for them to try and get used to each other. I let both of them out of their carriers on the floor in front of my bed. Total bedlam! Molly went after Daisy and scared her so badly she doesn’t come all the way down the hall anymore. I have a gate up during the day so my one dog can’t get in and pee on everything. Daisy managed to clear the gate, she was so afraid.
So, fast forward to now. Molly lives in my room. She will occasionally come into the living room and kitchen. My dogs don’t bother her unless Daisy tries to go after her. Then my small rat terrier gangs up with Daisy. Molly has already put Stella in her place; she’s all noise, but Molly will charge her and Daisy is still after Molly….this happened just this morning, again. I don’t know how to help them get along. In the evening there’s a standoff with Molly laying almost in the living room and Daisy laying about 2 feet away. I don’t know what happens, but Daisy starts growling, then Molly and they charge each other. Usually all I need to do is pick up a spray bottle and they both run off.
Any help would be very greatly appreciated! I love these fur babies and they’re attached to me. This coming week I’m going to go to our humane rescue where I got Molly and see if they have any ideas. I’m really at a loss. I’ve always had dogs. Daisy was my first cat. So, I’m a novice in the cat world. Thanks for reading my story.
Hello, I'm so sorry to hear that your cats are struggling to get along. Once you tell this story to the Animal Rescue and your vet, they should be able to give you tips and tricks for this situation. I wish you the best of luck.
I’ve always had cats and I didn’t know that some just won’t accept another. But one time, I had a boy and a girl who were siblings and were both very affectionate and loving , then my ex husband dumped the cat he’d got our daughter on my doorstep, long story. This cat was a female rescue cat, so no history but she was adamant that my daughter was her mom. When she came to live with us, she would attack my female cat, to the point of it was to kill, not just a vicious fight, she’d go straight for the neck! It was awful, this cat would also pull her fur out when my daughter was away at university. I didn’t know that stress can actually kill a cat and even though they were always monitored and separated, my female passed away. One of the worst grieving experiences I’ve ever had. This cat was always okay with my male cat but he’s a big softie so she always gets her way. There’s TH-cam videos to help with this problem and the ones I’d recommend are by Jackson Galaxy. All the best and good luck 😻
Use a rubber flip flop to get hair of furniture.
Never heard of that trick before! Thanks.
Thanks for the video! "Nature's Miracle" is good to clean up messes on furniture and carpets. "Uproot Clean" has hand tools for cleaning fur off furniture, cat trees and clothes. Easy small raking tool. I love it!
Thanks for the info!
Per quel che mi riguarda pulisco di fino una volta all' anno e poi regolarmente tutte le settimane... certo che però bisogna anche mettere in conto qualche guaio o la rottura di qualche oggetto... penso che sia normale...per i nostri amici pelosi questo ed altro..
first!
Allegedly.
Higher someone to clean.
Is Febreeze small spaces safe to put in a small room that a cat stays in for many hours ?
none of those things are safe for a cat. Like too much perfume for a human
Thank you for answering me 🐱🤗😃☺️🙂😊😌
One litter box her cat? That's not possible in this place
I don’t have pets
Good
People are also messy and they can also be really disgusting and rotten, don't just blame the pets for the dirtiness bl
Can you give me an idea on what is happening with my cat
My cat has something building up in his ears and he's scratching it a lot to the point where it's harmful he's bleeding he's scratching it so much
He is a Persian cat if it's important
It might be Ear Mites. Either way, I recommend making an appointment with your vet ASAP. I hope your kitty gets well soon.
@Collins Avenue thank you for your help
