About six months ago I bought my girlfriend a 2 month old kitty (TurboCat) and put a litter box in the motorhome. Sometimes the smell of poop was a over the top so I would have to spray it down with air freshener. I would empty the litter box every morning and replace the litter and scrub the inside of the box every two weeks.
After about two months I decided to change her diet (she is free fed dry food only) so I switched to another brand. My girlfriend laughed at me before I made the switch. Well the switch worked. The litter box does not have an aroma anymore and my girlfriend is in shock. I have not used air freshener since the switch.
I am not going to reveal the brands of cat food, because we were using a very expensive highly regarded cat food to begin with. I don't want to bad mouth that brand, since it is a question of finding the right cat food to match my cat's digestive system.
I thought I would post this since life has been much nicer as a full timer living in a small space with a cat.
btw - long before I bought the cat I posted a question on this forum about living with a cat in a motorhome and the response was very positive. Several posters recommended getting a kitty as young as possible. This is what I did and it was great advise. She really took to the motorhome right off the bat and thinks she owns the place (actually she does). She is a great traveler, loves being on the road. As soon as I start the engine and start rolling she curls up in her basket in between me and the girlfriend an sleeps. I have talked to many other cat owners with RVs and most tell me their cat doesn't travel so well. So thanks to everyone for the advise. I love this forum.
