I can answer that. First, with some clumping cat litters, you can put

the clumps in the toilet and flush them. Second, you can put the clumps

in a sealed bag or in a bucket with a tight-fitting lid (an old clumping

cat litter bucket works well). And, finally, when I interpret " less

odor, " I see it from the cat's perspective... the cat has to go into the

box to relieve himself; he never goes into the garbage can. If a cat

box gets too stinky, some cats will stop using it. It keeps the cat box

from getting smelly enough to offend a cat.
