That's interesting. I don't have a very good sense of smell but my husband and son tell me that Kenny has a very strong odour when he poos!!! I use the nice-smelling powder on the cat litter, combined with emptying it as soon as he's been.

I personally wouldn't. You don't know what it's doing to the taste of their food let alone their insides. And what happens when you have a kitten (who has an extremely sensitive digestive system) that gets affected by the ingredients and you end up with runny bums or worse, permanent damage.
The beauty of owning pets is experiencing it all. Cuddles, play time, feeding time and toilet time. Yes their poo will smell. I guess the severity of smell depends on the food and the cat. Just feed your kitty a good quality food and keep the litter tray clean (and especially picking poo up as soon as it comes put). Simply take a deep breath, scoop it up, run to the toilet and flush it (or run to the back door and flick it over the fence haha whatever you choose).
Last thing you want is to have a beautiful new kitten with the worse runs ever. You want to talk about smells... You just wait for that haha.
But that's just MY opinion...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I was fairly sure it probably wasn't worth it (or sensible) to give it a try. Definitely not if it has a common ingredient with cat litter! Fortunately most of this week he's been going either over night or while I'm at work, so not so much a problem hehe. Plus he seems a lot better at burying it recently and the silica litter seems to be doing a better job than the catsan too (he was on that at the rescue). I've switched his dry food too (he has good quality wet for brekkie and tea, but dry down all the time too) and that also seems to be helping.

my favourite subject!!! I think it is wrong to mask the smell of your cats poos etc as the offerings are one of the best indicators of general health... strangely when we went to the Exmoor Zoo for my youngest child's birthday last year we pulled in and could smell the big cats, we all agreed that it smelt just like Quiff (whiffy Quiffy)
