I was excited to have an air purifier in my home office because it’s also a litter box location.

Unfortunately, the cats hate it.

When I first turned it on, it filled the room with a plasticky chemical smell, like new electronics.

After a while, it diminished but it never really went away.

The cats used to hang out in my office with me, but after turning on the purifier, they started spending less time in the room.

When I turned on the heat function, they stopped coming in at all.

They still went in to use the litter box, but I worried that they would eventually stop doing that, so I turned it off.

This might be fine for a house without cats, or a room that you don’t want the cats to go into. Maybe my cats are just weird.

I never found out if the smell eventually goes away because I had to turn it off before that happened.
