1) Fresh Step Advanced Simply Unscented Clay Litter If you're looking for a cat litter with superior odor control, Fresh Step Simply Unscented excels in that department at a great price ($0.87/lb). This clay litter forms fairly tight clumps, which makes it easy to clean and helps it last a long time.
Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda to the bottom of the litter box to absorb odor. You can also buy clay cat litter containing baking soda for a similar effect. Sprinkle a cat-specific deodorizer on top of the litter to mask any unwanted smells.
Even if you scoop out your kitty litter box consistently, smells can still linger in the litter as you accidentally miss small specks of urine and feces. That's why changing the litter at least twice a week can help to significantly reduce litter box smell.
Overall, corn litter is a great option because it is fast-clumping, low tracking and friendly to cat paws. It is also extremely easy to use and offers an absorbent formula that helps to keep smells at bay. Corn litter is made from a combination of corn fibres, blended with a binding agent and, sometimes, fragrances.

3. No smelly business: With an enclosed bathroom for your cat, you don't need to worry about any unpleasant odors that might (will) come wafting out of the box. Enclosed spaces work wonders for containing the smell — better than any scent, candle, powder, or other witch's brew you can buy.
Scented litter
A thin layer of baking soda placed on the bottom of the box will help absorb odors without repelling your cat.
How Often Should You Change the Cat Litter? If you use a clumping litter, it's best to scoop the box daily and change it out completely at least monthly. If you have more than one cat, it may be best to change the cat litter more often, every 2-3 weeks.
No one likes a home that smells of cat odor. Cat odor can come from a variety of places: litter boxes, cat urine and feces. Each can be managed effectively with a little attention.
Does cat urine odour ever go away? If you've cleaned the area thoroughly using an enzymatic cleaner, you can successfully get rid of the smell of cat urine permanently. However, on a very hot day the smell may resurface.
As a general rule, cats are sensitive when it comes to smells, but there are a few scents they hate that might just surprise you. They can't stand citrus and as much as you might love the smell of fresh herbs, cats hate rosemary and thyme. Banana and mustard are a big no-no too, as well as lavender and eucalyptus.
Your cat's nose and sense of smell are quite a bit more fine-tuned than yours (fun fact: it's even more sensitive than some dog breeds!). So, to play it safe, you should resist the urge to get a scented litter, whether that's a flowery scent or any other kind. Opt for unscented litter instead.
The Power of HEPA Air Purifiers
HEPA, which stands for high efficiency particulate air, filters are highly efficient at filtering out cat odors as well as pet dander, which are small flakes of skin that cats and other pets are continuously giving off.
A little sprinkle of baby powder in your cat box after scooping can make it smell a little less, well, smelly!
While corn flour is preferred, other constituents which can provide similar characteristics to the cat litter can be used, such as wheat flour, for example.
Most cats prefer an open litter box. Most cat owners prefer a covered litter box. Covered litter boxes may trap odors and make the human environment smell better but for those reasons they may not be as desirable for the cat. If boxes are not cleaned regularly, the odor may be aversive to them.
Multiple things can cause your house to smell like cat urine, even if you don't have a cat. Investigate if there is mold, leaking Freon, sewer gases, smelly plants, spoiled food, or even stains from previous pet owners.
Cats are fastidious creatures, which means they hate using a dirty litter box as much as you hate looking at one! If you have multiple cats in the house, you may run into even more issues with a dirty litter box.
No more smell
Over time, even the smallest trace of urine and faeces can start to smell. Using a clumping litter can help to reduce that lingering odour as it clumps as soon as it comes into contact with any liquid. These compact clumps can then be easily removed.
A variety of studies have found that cats prefer their litter to be soft and fine-grained. A recent study compared three types of unscented litter—wood pellets, silica microgranules, and nonclumping clay granules. Overwhelmingly, the cats chose silica and clay over the pellets.
