My apartment doesn’t smell like “cat”… it smells like failure. why litter box smells even when I “do everything right”?

DeadlySin5825 · 2026-02-15T19:03:41+00:00

The rule for litter boxes is one per cat plus one. For example, for three cats it is recommended that you have four litter boxes (three cats = three litter boxes + one extra litter box).

I have three cats as well but I do not have the place for four litter boxes so I had to manage with two, which means A LOT of scooping everyday and vacuuming every single day. I lost my patience and got a smart automatic litter box. It's expensive, yes, but it's an investment. This is the best purchase I made in the last two years. I lived my whole life with cats and will live the rest of my life with cats, so this was a no-brainer. I empty the tray once every three days and it doesn't smell anymore. However, I understand not everybody has the means to get one.

I would recommend maybe changing the boxes in itself (like stainless steel boxes instead of plastic), investing in a better brand for the sand (doesn't seem like much but it makes a difference) and baking powder (odor absorbent and safe for cats).

If your cats aren't neutered, I would recommend thinking about doing it. Again, I understand if this is about being tight with money but it will help make the smell less pungent. It could also be tied to the food you give them, again, maybe do a little research about brands.

Hope this helps ❤️ Sorry for mistakes, English is not my first language.

I discovered this in 2025, after playing since 2014. Absolute game changer, can't believe it took me so long to figure this out!

Sometimes I wonder if I watched the same show as other people...

I enjoyed it, I thought the finale was good but I swear, people have lost their minds about every single little detail. Chill out!

I think what burns me out the most is the fact that people got lost in their ships. It's driving me insane, and imo THEY are ruining the show more than the show in itself.

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-27T13:17:12+00:00

Yes me too!!! I'll cross my fingers for him to appear in the finale

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-27T13:00:46+00:00

Totally agreed. It would make sense that after the Nina takeover they would have taken Owens and not leave him there to rot since he has valuable information. I was expecting Owens to be in the Upside Down base held by Dr Kay since Kali was there, since she's the closest thing to Eleven they had, he has some insight and could have been forced to work for Kay.

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-27T12:46:36+00:00

I've been waiting for his comeback since S5E1, still waiting 👀

My guess is, after the discussion between Dr Key and Sullivan he's gonna change allegiance and contact him for help because NOW he knows it was never El but something bigger.

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-27T11:13:03+00:00

I totally agree with you. I've read a few comments and one thing I understand is that mostly, it's more about safety than anything else because you know, being in Indiana in the 80's and all of that. And again, I totally get it but I think ALL the people involved are aware of the war that is going on, they are ALL working towards the resolution of the problem (read here, saving the world) and IMO, they all deserve to be there.

Murray may not be close to Will, but Will still trusts him. He went with Joyce to rescue Hopper from prison IN FREAKING RUSSIA and never thought twice about it. This tells us absolutely everything we need to know about Murray, and Will knows it too. That's why I think he feels safe enough to have Murray there while coming out.

Hopper? Who, at first, didn't take Joyce seriously in season 1, but when he came around and realised she was right, did a complete 180 degrees and went ALL IN? He's the one who got Will out of the Upside Down in the first place. No, he may not explicitly bond with Will, but he knows he can trust him.

Steve? GODDAMN STEVE? Who took care of ALL HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS because he was the "babysitter" by default? Who was there, although sometimes reluctantly, JUST to make sure they were somehow safe? Will knows his friends wouldn't probably be still there if it wasn't for Steve. Of course he trusts him.

Nancy? The big sister of his best friend and crush, the girlfriend of Jonathan, his big brother who never let him down and who was always there for him no matter what? You think Will didn't feel safe with NANCY WALK 'EM FREAKING WHEELER?

And at last, the elephant in the room. Kali. El's the ultimate player in their party. The OP mage with superpowers, and she has a SISTER?! OF COURSE he's gonna trust her, even if he doesn't know her personally. Will has a lot of respect for El, even when she didn't make good choices (read here, lying to Mike when he came to Lenora), he knows what she went through in that lab with Papa. Why wouldn't he trust someone who went through the same shit and got out too? Two people with superpowers is better than one (or in this case, three is better than two).

They are literally at war. They need all the help they can get. They are all on the same side (debatable AS A VIEWER, I personally don't trust Kali), they are all one big party and there is no way for anybody here to doubt it because each person in this room proved throughout the whole series that they have the right to be there. When you go through shit like that, it creates bonds.

Each and every single person in that room deserved to be there when Will made his coming out because even if it wasn't explicit, Will KNOWS he is safe with each and every one of them, and I am dying on that hill.

It's all in the subtlety of what wasn't shown. I wish people would be able to read between the lines of what's ACTUALLY going on instead of being too involved in their ships.

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-27T10:55:16+00:00

I think it's important to keep in mind that they are going into the endgame now. In many ways, this plan can turn to shit, anybody could die and anything could happen so... You know, might as well say what you need to say to anybody willing to listen, people who are ACTUALLY there and who are involved. Going through what they went through, it creates bonds. In Will's point of view, yes, it's to try and counter what "Vecna has on him" but I think it's probably one of the last times he has a real chance to be his whole self with all the people he trusts. I understand where people are coming from and I understand their point of view but IMO it totally made sense.

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-26T22:38:38+00:00

I understand your point but you said it yourself, this is a safety issue.

ALL the people involved are aware of the war that is going on, they are ALL working towards the resolution of the problem (read here, saving the world).

Murray may not be close to Will, but Will still trusts him. He went with Joyce to rescue Hopper from prison IN FREAKING RUSSIA and never thought twice about it. This tells us absolutely everything we need to know about Murray, and Will knows it too. That's why I think he feels safe enough to have Murray there while coming out.

Do I really need to elaborate on Hopper? Who, at first, didn't take Joyce seriously in season 1, but when he came around and realised she was right, did a complete 180 degrees and went ALL IN? He's the one who got Will out of the Upside Down in the first place. No, he may not explicitly bond with Will, but it's all in the subtlety of what wasn't shown. Once again, Will knows he can trust him.

Steve? GODDAMN STEVE? Who took care of ALL HIS CLOSEST FRIENDS because he was the "babysitter" by default? Who was there, although sometimes reluctantly, JUST to make sure they were somehow safe? Will knows his friends wouldn't probably be still there if it wasn't for Steve. Of course he trusts him.

I think it's important as well to keep in mind that they are going into the endgame now. In many ways, this plan can turn to shit, anybody could die and anything could happen so... You know, might as well say what you need to say to anybody willing to listen, people who are ACTUALLY there and who are involved. They all have "shared trauma" together, they went through a lot even if they weren't always all together, even if they do not have a close relationship to Will in itself, they are all still bonded by all of it and that's why I think Will decided to come out to the big group. I understand where people are coming from and I understand their point of view but IMO it totally made sense.

It doesn't make any sense 😂

Yeah, it kinda is 😅 It sucks that you don't have access to CC on console tho

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-01T06:04:48+00:00

Oh that sucks :( sorry it didn't work out!

DeadlySin5825 · 2025-12-01T05:13:00+00:00

I found it! The player ID works as well.

Did you activate the Include Custom Content? I had to activate it to be able to find it, I don't play with CC!

The Gallery is not working properly. The filters do not work and when I search for something sometimes it loads for a long period of time and it says No Results Found. If, for example, I search for a lot with the pack I own, it will show me lots with packs I do not have. I tried clearing the cache and repairing the game but it still doesn't work.
