How to control cat litter box odor when my cat doesn't bury?

Question

My male cat does not bury his mess, could I use a little baking soda as a litter deodorizer? Any there other options to add to litter to help with smell? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 14 lbs

Baking soda is definitely a viable option. I wouldn't add any sort of out side products into the litter. I would just choose a litter that is effective at disguising unwanted odors. The Arm and Hammer Double Duty and the Ultra are both really effective in my opinion at accomplishing this. There are also covered litter boxes that have little filters on top of them that help contain some of the odor. Another thing you might want to consider trying is to get one of those deodorizer jars and simply leave one open right next to the litter box. This will absorb a good portion of the unwanted odor. Hopefully, the new litter alone will solve your not-burying problem. Hope this make sense.
