Haha. That's the reason I had but one cat - the litter box mess and odors!!! Plus I learned my lesson w/my little 3 lb. Scotty, my first Yorkie. I thought he was too delicate to try to train him to go potty 'outside' & regretted it from then on! There is NO way to cover up or clean up the smells that linger in the drapes, upholstery, carpet, wall-covering, etc., long, long after cleaning up the mess of the yucky pads and spraying the fabric and air with all the cans of deodorizer there are! Not to mention the horrors of that job itself! Yes, I said horrors, that it just how it was to me.
Never again as long as I have a choice will I have any animal use my home as his potty site when I have a full-sized yard just outside each door and it deodorizes itself. And my next Yorkie, tiny 3 lb. Jilly, went potty outside in rain, ice and snow. She would dash out in her coat or sweater, do her biz and was right back inside in just a little over a few heartbeats! Tibbe is the same way - out and back in, except when he decides to linger in the rain, which he kinda likes to do sometimes. Then we have some extra toweling to do - but that's it, just toweling, nothing yucky, stinky, messy or unsanitary!
