Cats are vermin. I love having one around, but they will eventually piss in your heating ducts.
My family has 3 cats, my buddy and I have 2 Bengals, and my girlfriend has 1 large dumb boi.
While the house is stinky in the years I have lived on this planet. I have never had the issue you have described and I would never describe any of the cats I know and love as vermin.
Clean the litter box daily and move away from clay cat litter. I dont know what it is, but arm and hammer litter has been night and day for me. No dust, far far less odor. Litter lasts longer
Tidy cats clay would break apart every time while scooping, quickly ruining the entire batch of litter with urine smell.
I’ve been using pine pellets. I get them from a farm store that sells them for animal bedding but they work amazingly for cat litter and just breaks down into sawdust
Now, if we could just get the dog to not pee and poop on the couch, carpet and beds that would be amazing, but given she also will dig dirty diapers out of the garbage to eat, my hopes aren’t very high…
Going to chime in with others and say that it doesn’t have to be this way. Daily litter cleaning is a must but I also use an air purifier with a carbon filter that I run after my cat takes a dump. It takes some planning and gear, but you can keep your place smelling nice.
The amount of people in this thread telling on themselves is staggering.
“I am to lazy to clean my cat’s shit and that’s their fault and everone is like that too”.
I have “the choice”. It is one cute choice.
