    China doll, I have 10 cats in my home, with 8 litter boxes scattered about the 5 rooms that they have access to. I usually clean them out at least once every 2 days. However, when I come in from the outside and I smell odors, which I beleive are from cooking with garlic and onions -but not from my pets. When ever it is warm outside (even in the winter months), I will place a box fan in a window and turn it on until the odor gets out. My home seldom smells of animals. In the summer months I will leave a fan in the window and turn it on during the cooler times of the day, and sometimes I leave it on all night.

    Sometimes when we clean the inside of our homes, without allowing fresh air in, what we may smell could be the accumulated cleaning stuff that is used. If it has been a long time since you let in fresh air, sometimes the odor will begin to accumulate in the drapes and curtains. Washing them will take care of that problem. Also, burning a scented candle will not only clean the air but will de-odorize it, while emitting a pleasant odor.

    As far as your cats spraying. It is unlikely, especially for the two kittens- as they are a bit young for that. A mature female may spray but it is a rare situation. And when a cat does spray it is because they are marking territory. Are your two kitties related to the famale cat? Do they all get along OK? I hope this helps.
