Cats are actually very clean. It is the litterbox that creates the odor. It needs to be kept clean, fresh litter and in a well ventilated area. Cats usually do not like covered litter boxes (kinda like going in those stinky portajohnss-ugh!). So if you use clumping litter it will be much easier to keep the litter box clean and the odor to a minimum. One cat hardly creates any odor. I have three and most people can't tell until they see the kitties! A clean litterbox, food, water and a window will keep your cat happy. Also, please consider neutering or spaying, this will keep your cat happy and eliminate a cat's desire to "mark" their territory.
