well this may have been done before but heres my idea i stumbled on ,my 2 cats have their litter box fairly close to my Englander wood furnace in the basement ,unfotunatley often times they follow me down while im building a fire and decide that since they are down there it is a perfect opportunity to relieve themselves 5-6 feet from me lol ,one particular day it was especially pungent
and i get tired of that in the lower half of my house so i decided while i was doing the ash removal routine ill just toss a few shovel loads of spent wood ashes onto the litter to try and mask it for 5 minutes ,to my surprise that totally neutralized the smell indefinitly and the cats dont mind at all , its light and dry so it doesnt stick to their paws or make any mess on the carpet and seems to keep pretty much all the kitty odors at bay now for good ,something to think about
