Believing that many cat owners, especially those with multiple cats or other pets, will notice a problem: the air quality in their homes.

If there are any shortcomings in the home cleaning or for some unknown reasons, it may lead to a peculiar smell –

commonly known as 'cat smell.'

Understanding how to conduct daily cleaning and deodorizing work is a compulsory course for cat owners.

I have ten cats at home, but the smell in my house is not very strong, how to do it? This is a question worth any cat owner to discuss.

So today we will talk about how to alleviate or remove the strange smells in the home~~~

---

1. Regularly clean the litter box

Cats themselves don't have a strong smell, it's their feces and urine that have a strong smell, which requires us to clean it frequently.

1. The number of litter boxes should be as many as n+1, if more than five cats, you can appropriately reduce it, but must ensure that each cat has its own litter box.2. Try to scoop the cat poop as many times as possible.I scoop the cat poop 4-5 times a day, sometimes I'm always at home, I can scoop 8-9 times. Try to keep the litter box always dry and clean.Don't be lazy about scooping cat poop, a friend of mine always complained that after raising cats, the smell in the house became more and more serious, he later found that he only scooped the cat poop twice or three times a week, this is really... I can't bear to let cat poop sit for so long.

3. Clean the litter box once every two weeksI have a lot of litter boxes, I will clean a litter box every two or three days, pour the to-be-cleaned litter box into other boxes, and clean another box after three days, about two or three weeks to complete the entire litter replacement and cleaning of the litter box.

Many people are lazy about cleaning the litter box, but the litter box exceeding two weeks without cleaning, even if the new litter is added, it will still smell very strong, so you want to reduce the smell, you must clean the litter box frequently.

4. Our cat sand is+

is generally more fragrant, but in summer it is easy to have a sour smell. So I mix it with absorbent clay to use, I use absorbent clay, which has a laundry powder smell, the fragrance is acceptable.

2. Regular disinfection and large-scale cleaningFor example, I will have a large-scale cleaning of the home once a week, wipe every corner, spray disinfectant, and then filter with water.Then wash the cat's sleeping mat and blanket, wash and dry them frequently, and the cat will smell fragrant after sleeping on them.For multiple cat families, any of the above points cannot be lazy, otherwise not only the smell is big, but also dirty, which will burden the cat and make it easy to get dirty.

Hard work is the key.

This is the

Before, I fed the cat cat food, no matter how diligent I was, I couldn't resist the rotten smell of the cat poop.

This is because the current cat food is almost entirely

needs to expand and form, and it is inevitable to add a certain proportion of carbohydrates (mainly starch). Even good cat food has 20% carbohydrates.Cats are purely carnivorous animals,

It doesn't mean that carnivorous animals cannot eat

carbonhydrates,as long as they can use it,they cannot be converted into heat,

so they will excrete, and it will also have a rotten smell.Cats' heat energy needsgenerally comes from protein, generally comes from fat,they have almost no need for carbohydrates.Later I changed the cat to eat main course canned food and homemade meat food, I found that their poop would be a lot less smelly.Main course canned food and homemade meat food have almost zero carbohydrates!

Of course, homemade meat food needs balanced ratio, I have also written some balanced recipes in other articles, if you want to make it, you must do some homework, otherwise, random matching will lead to malnutrition.Eating meat cats' poop is really much less smelly, and because of their sufficient water intake, their urine is not so concentrated.I have already promoted it to many cat owners, and it is effective.

This is also the reason why I have many cats but the smell is not very strong.

First of all, I really clean it very diligently, secondly, I try my best to give them some food that can efficiently utilize nutrition, reduce the smell of the poop.

Regarding reducing the smell of cat poop, we can do this.

1. Identify the smell of cat poop

Cat owners need to scoop cat poop, it is a veteran who has experienced countless battles.

So you must understandhealthy cat poop should be a cat poop smell, not an acidic or fishy smell. When cat poop is acidic and smelly, it often accompanies soft stools, which is likely to have diarrhea; if it is fishy and smelly, it may be accompanied by blood in the stool. At this time, according to the smell, shape, and cat's mental state, consider whether to treat the cat.

2. Try to change the cat's diet to meat food

Too much cat food will cultivate many bacteria that are not compatible with the cat's intestines, which will disrupt the intestinal or induce intestinal flora imbalance.

Main course canned food, homemade meat or bone meat

can slowlyrestore the cat's intestinal function,

so that the cat's poop becomes smaller, drier, and less smelly.

Natural feeding (eating meat) cats' poop is naturally small, dry, and odorless.

My cats also changed their food gradually, after switching to main course canned food, meat and homemade bone meat, their poop was not so smelly.

Giving cats various flavors of main course canned food or balanced homemade nutrition requires learning, how to make homemade bone meat and how to ensure nutritional balance, you can click on related articles.

3. For smelly soft stools, you can do thisCats' soft stools always accompany bad smells, so we can usehigh dosage, multi strain (best 10 billion or more) probiotics or Bradite yeastto improve it, these are the things we often have in our homes.

In addition, vitamin B deficiency can cause cat diarrhea, which may cause acidic soft stools, so you need to supplement vitamin B

in the daily diet, make sure to check the standard characters.

I add vitamin B to my cats' daily diet,

cats rarely have soft stools except affected by the weather, and other times they hardly have soft stools.
