Long story short a lot of bad things happened I lost my dad and don’t have a good relationship with my mom. I had to get a apartment I have 2 cats and am looking for part time work while a full time student I spend alot of time in my apartment I shower and change the litter box regularly I also add baking soda to the bottom so it will eat up the smell my place still stinks and I just need advice on what to do. thank you
