My cat box is in the basement and it seems the oder sometimes gets into
the air blower. Would it hurt anything if I sprayed the air filter
with Febreeze or some other air freshener? Since the air is blowing
out of the blower into the filter I don't see how this could hurt
anything. My only concern is during the winter when the furnace goes
on that if the air freshener is flammable it could ignite.

Thanks!!

Hi,
Relocate the litter box. Be logical. I have 3 cats in the house, litter
box is on the main floor far from return air duct.
Also I clean the box twice a day every day.



I almost made the mistake of putting the cat box in the basement - then good
sense came back. I put a cat door in the garage to livingroom doorway and
stuck the box in the garage where it belongs. Clean every day, change the
litter every week and no problems.


Hi,
In my climate that is not an option. In winter it gets as low as
-35C(wind chill upto -50s in C) Can't have such set up. My family always
have had pets. Always neutered or spayed. Now we have 3 adorable
cats(two Bengalis cross sisters and an older male tabby) and a dog.
