Just use plain baking soda without anything else mixed in. Use a good odor neutralizing litter, or change the box more frequently. Get a covered box. If you use clumping litter and scoop daily, odor should not become a problem. It only takes a minute or two. I wouldn't go putting weird stuff in the litter box. Hard to tell what the reaction could be.
first always make sure your kitty-kitty's box is always clean and in a well ventilated, low traffic area.


don't use baby powder because it's very fine and when the cats dig they'll made little clouds of the powder and breathe it in and that's bad for them. putting a little baking soda in with the litter is ok though.


also try putting a plastic dome over the box to keep the odor from escaping, or use air freshener (when the kittens aren't in the room).


hope this helps :)
Gold bond? Why? Does she have foot odour?





Regular baking soda should do the trick. Just clean the litter box often. The clumping litter is really the best because you can just scoop out the disgusting stuff every day and just change the litter about once a month
No idea what gold bond powder is, but some mixes of cleaning agents can be dangerous. Stuff made for humans is also potentially dangerous for other animals.





Keep it simple: if it's smelly, clean it.
On the Gold Bond website it has this to say about using their products on pets: ';the Food %26amp; Drug Administration has not evaluated and approved the use of Gold Bond on pets. We recommend that you contact your veterinarian before use. ';





Now, I realize you are not applying it directly to your cat, but you are putting it in the litter box. Cats step in the litter, so your cat will be stepping in the Gold Bond powder. So, it will get on your cat's feet, which your cat cleans by licking. So your cat will be licking, and therefore ingesting Gold Bond powder. You definitely need to ask your veterinarian if it is healthy for your cat to ingest. In your shoes, I'd save myself the trouble of the phone call to the vet, and just stick to plain baking soda. I'm not crazy about the idea of my cats licking that Arm %26amp; Hammer Litter Box Deodorizer off their feet.





Of course, that is why I use Feline Pine - it offers superior odor control and is a very natural, non-toxic material. It smells like fresh clean sawdust, and as soon as it stops smelling fresh and clean, I know it is time to change it.
