This has kind of been covered in other posts, but I still don't think we've got things quite right with our two boys....also getting info from our vets and not sure if they're just trying to sell us stuff!

My boys have been neutered and I have to say that they are very well-behaved in the litter tray department - no accidents, spraying etc. We have tried a variety of litters, none of them clumping as I know that's not good (so why is it still sold??). We have been using Catsan recently but it tends to end up everywhere - little white dots all over the place. We also have a Litter Locker for scooping poops into.

It seems that no matter how often we scoop and replace litter that there is still a bit of a smell sometimes.It's not a case of not changing the tray often enough so how can we improve this situation? I don't want my house smelling of Bengal bums (more than can be avoided by their wind problem! ) but I'm a bit puzzled at what else we can do. I've avoided World's Best so far as I've heard it has a bit of a strange sweet smell.

The only alternative to a litter tray is obviously letting them outside but I am terrified of losing them (they are little rascals and love exploring places they are not meant to go ).

Has anyone got any tips that they can pass on? I know that breeders probably handle things slightly differently but what do other pet owners do? I don't think I can be more hygienic in changing the tray so is there anything else I can do? We do have a litter tray with a lid and a door - but one of our boys is terrified of the door and won't go into the box. The tray also has carbon filters, but bless 'em, my boys can remove them from the lid in a matter of seconds!

Our vets, by the way, have said that the problem is partly because they have been neutered and have said we need to feed them Hills Neutered Cat food as it lessens the smell of urine (curiously ONLY available from vets....) - call me cynical but I think this is just to sell cat food!

I feel like a very bad owner as I don't seem to be able to sort this out - but I need to do something as we're too scared of visitors to the house at the moment in case of pongs!

Thanks in advance
