Resembling a huge prehistoric beetle in its sleek design, CityKitty Ionic Cat Litter Box Air Purifier, is a small unit performing a large job.  Undertaking the much-needed task of ridding your home of unpleasant odors, and cleansing the area around the litter box of harmful bacteria caught in the air, this unit is an invaluable asset to any pet owner.  Once I plugged the unit in and set it on the floor, my two kittens became consumed with curiosity about this new marvel.  Were it not for the Velcro tabs that mount the unit securely in place, I am sure that Taz, the more inquisitive of the pair, would have pulled it off into the corner to investigate it, in her own thoroughly charming kitten way.    The Ionic Air Purifier, is carefully designed; effective when  set outside the litter pan or on the floor, or shelf, it continues to work, moving its ionic breeze around the room, ridding it of pet dander, airborne particles and other hidden irritants.  Electronically powered ions and ozone circulate into the air, aiding any pet or human who might be afflicted with allergies or breathing problems, by remarkably removing any clay dust or other irritants from the area.   This is one of its most efficient features how the ions work to create a heaviness in the clay dust, keeping the clay dust down, so your cat does not inhale unhealthful bacteria, and other harmful disease-causing agents. Perhaps this explanation will help to further illustrate this. Your television screen attracts dust; due to the high voltage of the picture tube charging the dust particles and making them act like a magnet. Well in the same way, the clay dust in your litter carries a positive charge, so the ions are attracted to this dust. As the ions saturate the air they circulate and follow a path that lands them in the billions on the clay litter causing it to become weighted down. Even when your cat disturbs this union, by scratching and pawing to cover up his waste, the two charged particles stay together and keep the dust heavy, and out of the cat’s lungs. This can go a long way in preventing upper respiratory infections that plague many household pets, and substantially lower your vet bills! If you or your children are afflicted with asthma or allergies, this unit will bring relief, for it has been proven to be a beneficial health product!  My cat room houses several litter boxes, and after plugging in the unit, the difference in the air quality a few hours later was phenomenal! Even right after the litter pan was utilized, there was no disagreeable odor lingering in the air.  I also noticed an absence of dust that I can usually see that settles on the bookcase near the litter pan area.   If you happen to be fighting a mold problem, this unit will help you attack the mold and mildew; so multiple units are a benefit to any home. The unit is reasonably priced, and so compact, that it is easy to tuck it away out of sight while helping to keep your home smelling fresh and clean. Gone are the multiple cans of harmful air fresheners and sprays, and no more burning scented candles to mask the smell. For homes that are blessed with more than one cat, the cat loving owners will no longer be cursed with that one irritating question asked by guests as soon as they step through the front door:   “How many cats did you say you had again?”   http://www.citypet.com/
