Cats + Air Purifier = Cats – Smell

So, my family has had cats since I was in kindergarten or first grade, and they’re great, especially when I hit upon the brainstorm of having the litter box(es) outside on the balcony and letting the cat(s) use a pet door to go in and out.

Well, that’s not available in the Hesperia townhouse, and the smell of scoopable cat litter clay and the output of two cats (one of whom is half-again as large as his sister) created, if not an odor, the looming hint of an odor.

As a Christmas self-gift, I ordered an air purifier. (It’s somewhat expensive, since I didn’t want to futz around with expensive replacement filters.) I put it in the bedroom next to the bathroom where the litter box Superfund site and turned it on.

Sitting in the living room, I thought there was a window open somewhere: There was suddenly cool fresh air blowing through the house. (It even gets rid of the fine dust that seems to always been in the air and the mouth and the nose in the High Desert, which is a welcome treat.)

I like it so much, I’m considering getting smaller versions of the air purifier for my study and my desk at the Star.

I wish someone had told me about these things years ago …

1. Sorry, my bad. They also suck all of the cat fur off the floor in ones bedroom, making sleep a lot more restful even if you’re not allergic.
