You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

If you have one cat, clean the box every day. Kitty will be happy, and the smell will be kept at an absolute minimum. Even the "no smell" litters can be overwhelmed by poop and urine left in the box for a week at a time.
I use this rule of thumb: For every additional cat, clean the box that many more times a day. I have three, and morning, after lunch and after dinner I scoop. My cats are thrilled that the box is always available and easy to use. The house doesn't smell like a litter box and I simply wash my hands after the job is done.
Clean boxes also mean that you won't find "surprises" outside of the box from angry kitties looking for somewhere to do their business.
Clean box equals happy kitty, equals happy Mom.

M$An important thing to remember is that a cat's nose is much more sensitive than yours. One of the main reasons for cats urinating around the house is because you have not scooped the litter.

M$What I encourage is daily poop scooping and once a week full empty, wash with bleach.
If the smell gets too bad, I simply refuse to sleep in my own bedroom and feel like a moron because essentially I'm paying an extra $300/month for a bedroom/bathroom for some stupid cats.
