Is there some kind of air purifier that will rid the room of odor? I've been looking at the Ionic Breeze from Sharper Image. I'm thinking about switching to Arm and Hammer litter because a lot seem to say it works good at getting rid of odor. However, I am wanting some type of air purifier to buy that will control the odor. Thanks.
Edit: I scoop out the box several times a day
Actually, I just finished reading a lot of info about air purifiers from Consumer Reports. The Ionic Breeze creates ozone, which is harmful to you and your cats and only does a minimal job in actual "cleaning". Check the Consumer Reports website for their article about air purifiers.
First thing to do is have you cat checked by the vet to be sure they don't have an infection that could be causing the odor. Secondly, be sure you are feeding your cat a high-quality food. They put a lot of "extra" stuff in cheap cat food that can contribute to the smell of your cat's urine. Thirdly, buy a high-quality litter. Unfortunately, that means shelling out more money- but it's worth it. Lastly, clean the box 1-2 times a day.
