Poop Scoopin' Boogie
When you are selling your home, don't forget that buyers may be offended by the smell of a litter box. You live in the home, you love your kitties, and somehow... you have become "immune" to the smell.
As a cat owner myself, I can teach you a little move called the "Poop Scoopin' Boogie". When our house was on the market a few years ago, we shared our 
home with five (Yes, Five) cats and a large dog. The dog wasn't an issue because we could just take her for a long walk while the home was being shown. We had to have a plan for the kitties.
When the phone would ring to schedule a showing, We would put Tanner (2 months old at the time) in his stroller, put the dog on a leash, and then perform the Poop Scoop Boogie. We could be out the door in five minutes! We created a system that wouldn't "smell" and it did not require large amounts of air freshner and plug ins that could make buyers & agents nauseated. It is really quite simple.
All you need is a bucket, a poop scooper and a nice, neat supply of plastic grocery bags. Easy Peasy! Just before leaving the house, use the handy dandy poop scooper, scoop out all the poop and clumps, dump them in the grocery bag (double bag for extra safety), and then toss the bag into the large outdoor trashcan. It's so easy, even a caveman can do it! If you sing a little Brooks & Dunn, shake your hips and tap your toes while scooping.... You have just mastered the Poop Scoopin' Boogie. Who knows, you may even have a little fun with the process.
The potential buyers previewing your home will appreciate it, and who knows... They may just make an offer. The best is when they say, "I didn't even realize you had cats".
