OK little background info, we have cats and they go outside every day into a fenced in back yard through a doggy door. This normally works out well because I have sand pits the little furballs use them instead of the several litter boxes in the house. Well it's been raining a lot lately and the cats of course are not going out much, been noticing a bad smell and just assumed ok cats are using the litter boxes more and the litter we use, ain't doing the job, warning..don't just assume you know what a smell is...lol...any ways, yesterday while vacuuming near the pool table we found several maggots...umm...that is odd, but kinda passed it off, but very interesting, thought about it all night, really bugged me, where did them things come from, then while drinking morning cup of coffee, it hit me...I KNOW THAT SMELL....yep this morning we looked under the pool table where we had several boxes for the furballs to play with, inside one of the boxes...yep, dead squirrel...man don't know when it got brought in, don't know how long it's been there, but long enough to have maggots, only noticed the smell a few days, but blaming the kitty litter contributed to not finding it until today. Glad we found it, before our whole house ended up with an Exorcist type fly infestation.....lol...such is the life when you have cats, of course the trade off, no mice or bugs in the house, but I guess occasional dead critters do show up from time to time, you have to stay vigilant and for goodness sake .. if you smell some thing start searching immediately....lol
