My roommates cat is not the most hygeinic when it comes to it's bathroom habits, and will not cover up it's shit with the litter. We have the litter box in a closet by the front door to our apartment, so I have to hold my breath every time I walk in the door. I was doing a Google search (in the newsgroups) about ways to cover up the unpleasant odor of cat shit, and look what I found. Hilarious.
"I took a dump the other day that had a particularly noteworthy
odor. It put forth a distinctive, sickly-sweet smell, more
than a little reminiscent of cat shit. It reminded me of the
times of my extreme youth when our cats, left indoors for the
night, would occasioanlly crap in the fireplace ashes. (So far
as I know, a fire was never started when there was cat shit in
the fireplace. I think my parents probably got into the habit
of checking first.)
One of my earliest remembered thoughts, and a harbinger of the
tastelessness toward which I'd later become inclined, was realizing
that I actually _liked_ the smell of cat shit -- or at least, preferred
it to the stronger bouquet of dog crap. Of course, kids do tend to
like sweet things...
I also remember our German shepherd play-biting our Siamese cat in
the front garden one day when I was about two. The cat, lying on
her back while struggling fiercely and yowling like only a Siamese
cat can, extruded in her agitation a remarkable cat-log. Looking
back on it, it reminds me of nothing so much as a Play-Doh Fun
factory. I can still picture the whole scene in my mind's eye; the
kitty-grogan lay on her tail for a few seconds, until the cat finally
managed to break free and disappear into the bushes.
It's weird what we remember from our earliest days of life, isn't it?"

I know cats do have to shit, as does any living thing, but when they do that smell just makes me irate. It is sooo much more strong-smelling than human shit...
Are we really gonna start talking about this?!
Nowhere near as gross, but I love the smell of pipe tobacco, when it's smoked and before.

It's not the cats' fault - it's the food we give 'em - full of artificial flavorings and other nasty articial additives. Ever wonder why dogs like to eat it? Cause it still has all that smelliness and taste from the additives that the cat is unable to digest.
If you have a dog and a cat, you can never trust the dog when he smells a little funny.
I have a question (no, I don't know everything! ;)):
Why do cats like earwax?
I was going to ask Cecil at www.straightdope.com but I was a little too embarassed. So I'm going to ask a bunch of other complete strangers? Oh, well. My logic fails me again.
Please don't ask me how I know this. |

My cat likes the smell of really stinky feet. If you have stinky feet and you come over to my house, be prepared to have the cat rub up against you and try to gnaw on your toes. Weird.

My ex's cat used to poop next to my head when I was asleep in bed. I like to killed that creature once or twice. That's one thing about her that I don't miss.

You should buy a new litter box with a top on it for christmas for your roomate, that should dramatically cut down on the smell. And that also takes care of the what to get for christmas for your roomy. Are you using clumping litter or just regular litter? Clumping litter reduces the smell a lot too.
My cat took a shit on my dead baby, please don't go there. |

an electric arm type thingy combs out clumps
into a plastic bag on the end. |

Tidy Cat Crystals Blend is the shit (literally). As long as the cat covers it up, you won't smell it. It's also clumping, and does a great job of it. That's what we use for our 2 cats. Great shit.

I need to litterbox train my evil rabbit...he just shoots it everywhere so you are always stepping on these little chocolate like balls.... it's pretty nasty, but you can throw them at people.
