Hi there. Someone yesterday asked about putting baking soda in the litter box to cut down on odor. We do it fairly often, although I dont use the scented kind made specifically for cat boxes, just the normal kind you bake with. It really does help absorb the urine smell and Rocket has never had a problem with it. I usually empty the box, sprinkle it right where the urine goes, and pour the litter on top. Rocket isnt one of those bulldozing ferrets (ie doesnt snorkle through the litter) although he does like to hop into the box to scratch himself. I figured since the stuff was edible, it couldnt be too harmful. Anyone know differently? diane [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1619]
