Hi everyone! Today is day O of the A-Z Blogging Challenge. O is for odors and when you live with a lot of cats, sometimes, there are odors. I won’t use scented litters because the smell bothers me and I certainly don’t want the cats to have to lick that stuff off their paws. I just add some baking soda to the litter box. It works, it is safe and it is cheap.
Sometimes one of them pees in a bad spot. Usually Sammy when he is mad at me and sometimes it is when a cat has a bladder infection. I have found washing items with color safe bleach gets the odor right out.
I like how Prancie’s tail is sticking out from under Brody.

Mom always says baking soda has a lot of very good uses.
Hope that tail doesn’t fall asleep.

It sure is 🙂
That’s a good tip about the color safe bleach. Fortunately, we don’t have any pee-ers here, knock on wood. I love how it looks like Brody’s growing an orange tail!
Thank you 🙂
Baking soda is a pretty awesome cure-all!
It is 🙂
I wash out old bottles that held spices. The ones with the shaker tops are perfect to fill with baking soda and kept nearby the litter box. Bleach is rather toxic so I prefer to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, it has never failed me.
That is a great idea.
That is a great idea about the soda to remove the odors. We sure will have to try that. You all have a wonderful day.
It does help. XO
Such a wonderful photo and a great tip too. Okay, two tips, the baking soda tip and the Prancie tail tip!
MOL! Thank you 🙂
Baking soda works for so many things and it’s safe to use. That’s the best part. We do what we have to do to keep things in order.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Ellen. Scritches to all your babies. ♥
Thank you. XO
That’s a sweet photograph. 🙂

Love the tips! Even though my cat doesn’t pee anywhere but her box, baking soda is my go-to for many things. Happy Wednesday!
You are lucky your kitty is good 🙂

Thank you 🙂 XO
Yes cats can be a little bit stinky from time to time but I daresay they might say the same for their humans on occasion! HAHAHA
Hugs, Teddy
Good point Teddy. XO
I use unscented litter too because I think the cats are not fond of scented litters.
I feel bad for cats stuck using it.
Yes, living with fur babies sometimes does cause some odors! Bridget has kidney issues and I’m cleaning the litter box more often than I’d like in order to keep the urine smell in check. And, dogs fart….and then look so innocent! 🙂 Sometimes Cabo can run me out of the room. But, that might be too much information! Anyway, adorable photo and hope your week has been wonderful. xoxo
I will add Bridget to my prayer list. Thank you. I hope you are having a good week too. XO
Great tips!
Thank you 🙂
Waydaminit…us cats don’t stink!!! 😉
Good point 🙂
We agree with Zoey and Ernie, we don’t stink!
That photo is cute though!
MOL! 🙂
Whoa! Baking soda is in the Arm & Hammer litter we use sometimes. It works.
It does. 🙂
We also never use scented litters. I don’t trust them. Baking soda is a much better and much safer alternative.
I agree 🙂
Does color-safe bleach work on concrete floors? TBT is about to use a citrus-based floor cleaner around our litter boxes and we think that might make things worse. Iza is the one who poops just next to the litterboxes and we don’t want to struggle with a strange smell just because of HER!
I am not sure about that, I never tried it. Maybe TBT needs to put puppy pads by the box, that is what I do to catch any pee that goes over the edge.
Why I don’t know anything about odors from me. Now dad, on the other hand…
MOL! 🙂
Congratulations to Prancie for winning the Easter Bonnet Contest at Teddy’s blog! Baking soda works wonders for lots of things. I always have it in the pantry… and the fridge! Brody and Prancie look pretty content together!
Thank you 🙂 Yes, they get along good. Prancie gets along with everyone. XO
I layer baking soda on the bottom of the just newly cleaned out litter can, add the litter and it does a great job.
That is a good idea. XO
Good tip on the odors! And what a cute photo.
Thank you 🙂
For some reason your blog wasn’t coming up in my feed and i missed this post. It has finally come back, all of the posts for the last three days!
Color safe bleach takes out the odor! Wow, i will have to get some and try it. Most of the time, if our cats mess on something, we throw it out, i’ve wasted a lot of time washing with everything else under the sun and have almost never salvaged anything they peed on.
I wonder why my blog wasn’t showing up= thanks for letting me know and for getting caught up 🙂 Color safe bleach is the best 🙂
I really need to make more use of baking soda. It can work so many wonders, especially in a home with animals, and I need to take advantage of that. I’m definitely going to start using it in the litter boxes, because there are definitely some odors in there.
