Before they came out with clumping cat litter, we used to buy baking soda in the jumbo economy size and spread a layer of a quarter inch or so on the bottom before putting in the fresh litter. We did this weekly. That helped to keep the smell down.

Then clumping litter came along. I use the Arm and Hammer brand. They make it in scented and non-scented. I find the scented masks the ammonia smell best, if I don't get to the boxes right away. (I have 8 boxes and three cats.)

I've had covered and uncovered boxes. My cats always preferred the uncovered when there was a choice. I keep most all in the basement and find that the more open a space is and the more air circulating, the less concentrated the smell. I keep one box in a shower stall and that one's always the most pungent and in need of scooping.

You also can change the litter and wash the pan more frequently, or daily.There are liners you can buy that protect your pan so you don't have to wash it so often. I also recall that kitten poop was always more pungent than the adult variety.

Oops gotta go -- time for dinner... ;-)
