Switching diets can cause issues, so if it was just a short trial, maybe the smell is from them adapting to it, and continuing will let things settle. The vet may know why it's smelling more, maybe the better diet and adding something with it will neutralize whatever reaction is going on.
There is also the litter question. I think some litters work better with different cats, both in absorbing the smells and also encouraging them to bury it better.
I will do that. The new food will not come until Monday anyway and that is when her clinic will be open. She will know better than my wife and I hehe
I'm loving the corn litter. I think the brand is world's best or something like that. It's great for my two standard issues, but smells bad for my void. She doesn't use the litter much anyway - i put some in the bottom with a weewee pad on top, so it only bad when she misses the pad. Cats are weird.
