➜ UPDATE: We no longer recommend the OKP robot vacuum. At first we thought it was a good product which is why we did the advertisement. But as time passed, it stopped working for no apparent reason. The company sent us a replacement, and not long after, that one stopped working too.

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.

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.

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 😁

[Chase_Mingming]

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 😊

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. 🤷‍♀️

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.

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.

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!

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..

[sarahheld]

Is Febreeze small spaces safe to put in a small room that a cat stays in for many hours ?

[KCCAT]

One litter box her cat? That's not possible in this place

[elizabethoneill]

People are also messy and they can also be really disgusting and rotten, don't just blame the pets for the dirtiness bl

[yahyahaidar]

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

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.

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!

[sandrajordan]

Use a rubber flip flop to get hair of furniture.

[calvanoni]

Use the stall pellets like Mallard Creek brand, cheaper & works better than cat litters.
