changing the food could definitely help.

poop is never going to smell great, but if the odor is that offensive, i'd consider underlying issues

i would bring a fecal sample to your vet to check for intestinal parasites, especially if the cat is gassy.

also, "cat probiotics" are a thing. my vet recommended them a while back when one of my cats had horrific poops. the supplement comes as a powder in little packets, which is sprinkled/mixed in with wet food https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Forti...=cat+probiotics

as for litter boxes, i'm a big fan of this PetSafe Self-Cleaning Automatic Litter Box. with amazon prime, it's $70 right now. it's worth the price and paid for itself by saving me $$$ on cat litter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GF0X38/ref=crt_ewc_title_gw_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER




good luck

i originally came to this subforum looking for any mention of the Litter-Robot III Open-Air. since this thread is already supposed to be about litter boxes, i'll post here

anybody have one of these?

i know $449 is absurdly expensive for a litter box but i'm actually considering it. i recently took in another cat, so i now have four cats. the PetSafe Auto Litter Box is quite good but i still have 2-3 regular boxes to scoop. my cats are super picky about cleanliness - if i don't keep their boxes pristine, they will poo poo in my potted plants

i also recently got a small dog who of course loooooves to eat clumps from the litter box, so it's been necessary to keep a baby gate in the doorway of any room where i put one. i really hate that my office room has turned into a cat bathroom, and the baby gates are inconvenient. the PetSafe box is totally exposed on top, and i'm thinking my dog wouldn't be able to reach into the Litter-Robot as easily, plus it cleans itself more often so there would be fewer clumps sitting around tempting the dog, and the reservoir looks less accessible to a hungry pup

the return policy / warranty is reassuring too

thoughts?
