Despite what people will insist, having a cat in an apartment is really dirty. The room that the litter box is in will always smell like litter - it doesn't matter how clean you keep it, brand new litter out of the box has an odor in order to cover up the odor of cat feces. Or you could get unscented litter, and after the first dookie boom your house smells like cat crap until you take it outside. Plus there will always be small bits of litter on the floor that the cat tracks out of the box with it, and most cats spray litter everywhere digging in the box. You will either have to sweep 3x a day, or wear shoes inside, or be fine with your socks / feet being dirty as hell all the time.

none of this is true

what the fuck dude

I live on a horse ranch. I can't smell manure at all, but anyone who comes by for the first time always says "it smells like horse s***". If you work in a laundromat you won't smell detergent. When I worked at a nursery I only smelled the soil right when I got to work in the morning, after that didn't notice it at all.

If you can't smell it, that's cool for you. I've tried many different types of litter, and the only ones I can't smell when they're just sitting there are the unscented ones. But once the cat takes a dump in unscented litter, you can smell that for a while until it dries enough to not stink - like 15-20 mins. It's really appetizing when your cat takes a dump right as you're sitting down to eat dinner, but it's 100 degrees outside and you have the windows buttoned tight and the AC blasting. You get to choose, cool and poopy, or hot and fresh?
