Like many others, I am a perpetual cat lover. I mean my love for cats is not sporadic. I suppose, in a way I am addicted to cats. We own two cats and both have profound personalities. Everything is fine with them, except the stink that comes out of their litter. Since my husband was used to dogs in his younger days, the question of odor never arose because dogs are much more house trained than cats and so he is somewhat concerned about the smell.

Incidentally, our first cat was black and like all cats, was independent right from the beginning. He used to sleep in the house but also strayed outside whenever he liked. But he had a natural aversion to the cat litter box provided for him and would cry out by the access door whenever he had to answer a call of the nature. We kept the cat litter box in a corner of the basement for him to use if we were gone from home for a few days. The cat litter box was made from recycled newspaper and the arrangement suited us well.

The black cat had reached the prime age of sixteen years when we adopted a beautiful Siamese that was two years old. Since he had been de-clawed we could not let him stray outside and had to have a regular cat litter box for his whole time use. Fortunately, the previous owner of the Siamese had sent along a cat litter box and some food items along. So our problems were solved for sometime. Now, each cat has his own litter and was fairly happy.

But shortly after adopting the Siamese we had to be moved to a different location and all the routines had to undergo changes. Since the cat litter box was placed in the basement, access to it was easy for the younger cat but the older cat found it difficult to manage the steps. So his cat litter box had to be kept at a convenient place within his reach. Having failed in our efforts to get rid of the odor, we tried several different litters but there arose a problem of quite a different kind. Instead of keeping away the odor, they suppressed it with a heavy floral scent alien to the cats as well as to us. As a last resort, we bought an air purification system that solved the problem of odor and kept it free of germs. An air purification system is really a good choice for other cat lovers like me. I am very happy with it.
