About Maria
Maria Cvjetic is a veterinarian who writes CatLitterSmell.com articles on litter box odor, hygiene, household safety, and practical cat care. Her veterinary background helps the site separate ordinary odor-control problems from changes that may call for advice from a cat's own veterinarian.
Maria's articles use public veterinary, public-health, and scientific sources. They explain what the available evidence supports, identify uncertainty, and avoid presenting general educational information as a diagnosis for an individual cat or person.
