Small Living Space With a Big Stink From A Cat?

This is an issue we had dealt with for several years.  We first lived in an apartment about 8 years ago and had 2 cats and then moved in to a house.  We have a smallish house - no basement and 1 1/2 floors.  We now have one cat but because we do have the litter box in our living space (upstairs bathroom) the smell can be really obnoxious.

We've always cleaned the box out as soon as it was messy but we didn't run the bag out after each cleaning.  It's just not real practical...plus with kids we are usually trying to hurry and get it done before breaking up the next battle between the kids!  I looked for a long time for something that would be helpful with odor elimination and then found the Petmate.

The Petmate Litter Locker is wonderful!  :)  It's sort of like the Diaper Genie for cats!  The Petmate is a plastic container about 2 feet high, 6 inches wide and 2 feet long...eyeballing not sure if that is exact!  Here is what it looks like:

Under the lid is a refillable bag - so you scoop open the lid, put the waste in and then turn the handle.  No smell!  The refill lasts about a month for one cat and it costs approximately $12.00.  Well worth the expense.

I would recommend this unit to anyone who has a small house, apartment or condo who wants to ensure the stink stays where it's supposed to!
