I'm very happy my kitten uses the litter box....
but no one ever told me how bad cat poop smells 
How often do you change the litter. I changed it 3 times in a week I can not take the smell or the idea of poop being in there.

Re: I'm very happy my kitten uses the litter box....
We scoop the litter box every day, add litter as needed and completely change it out once a month.
If you change the litter every three days you will spend a small fortune on litter. Either scoop or buy the litter pan liners that are perforated so you can remove them and let the clean litter drain back in.

Re: I'm very happy my kitten uses the litter box....
wow, 3 times per week. That's dedication. Like AP said, we also scoop every day, add litter, and change around once per month. In addition, arm and hammer makes a powder that goes in the box that you can get to deodorize a litter (you can find it near the kitty litter at the store). Also, maybe try and consider a litter box with a cover if you don't already have one. We have one like tat and barely notice the smell (unless we've just become accustomed to it).

We scoop every day also. Are you feeding her kitten food? If so it is the food that is making her poop smell so bad, it is very high in vitamins & calories and kitten poo smells gross, she should start to cover it - how old is she? Maybe get a box with a cover as mentioned - as they get older and you start to feed her regular cat food it honestly won't smell so bad. Try "The Worlds Best Cat Litter" it is expensive, but good.

Re: I'm very happy my kitten uses the litter box....
Joe calls Daisy the atomic kitty, and he RUNS gaging form the room after she goes. I know it stinks, but whatever, get over it and spray some air freshner or light a candle. To answer your question I scoop every other day and if her "atomic bomb" is just to much I scoop it then.

Re: I'm very happy my kitten uses the litter box....
Yeah my cats have really stinky poop. We scoop the litter boxes once a day and completely change the litter about once a month. We would go through 2 or 3 bags of litter if we changed 3x a week!!
If you scoop it all out it shouldn't stink. You can also try using a deodorizer.

Yes I give her kitten food. She is only 9 weeks old. I think we are feeding her too much. The first few days she was here she wouldnt eat that much so we left her food out but now we have been taking it away after a half hour. Thank God, this morning dh took the poop out!!!!

We scoop the litter every day, and change it completely about once a week.
