My cat trays stink so bad of amonia yet i empty them morning and night, i was them out and put new litter in but in 36hrs they stink so bad, i have 2 very large trays for my 3 cats, 2 are male and all desexed. Anyone got any ideas on what to do or why its so bad last 6months? Hubby is not impressed sitting on his toilet reading next to their tray lol.

That usually means they're not drinking enough water. I'd try to syringe water and if that doesn't at least help the issue, a trip to the vet to see if there is any infections causing the strong odor. I'm sure the breeders might have something else to offer in the way of advice.

ok more water ! tyvm

Dehydration is one possibility as is an infection, like Cat said. If that is not the problem, here's some ideas.

One is that the ammonia smell has been absorbed by the plastic litter tray, so even if you wash it, it is 'pre-loaded' for ammonia. On new litter boxes, you can somewhat seal the plastic with carnuba wax (or car wax) so the smells can penetrate and the urine balls stick less.

Adding another one or two litter boxes would help. The rule is one box per cat plus one for the house. With 3 cats, that's 4 boxes.

Different litters absorb odors differently. You could try changing the brand of litter you use to see if that helps. Some do have odor-absorbing crystals which can help.

Try using a fountain or two if you aren't already. Cat's like running water, that is what I had to do to get them to drink more. It is a sgin of not enough water or illness.

thankyou so much for your help !!
