1. An odor reducing device for a cat litterbox, comprising:
a housing having a front sidewall facing away from a wall of the litterbox when installed onto the litterbox and a rear sidewall facing towards the wall of the litterbox when installed onto the litterbox, the front and rear sidewalls together defining a pair of lateral sides of the housing, a top opening that is a continuous slot extending longitudinally between the lateral sides of the housing, the continuous slot opens to an interior of the housing, the top opening receiving an odor reducing pod into the interior, the front and rear sidewalls together further defining a bottom opening that is smaller than the top opening, the top and bottom openings facing in opposite directions with respect to each other, the top opening being a singular opening defining substantially an entirety of a top of the housing so that the odor pod can be disposed within the interior of the housing and protruding through the top opening, the front sidewall having a plurality of airflow vents that enable the odor reducing pod to transmit air flow from the interior of the housing into the litterbox, the rear sidewall being devoid of an air flow vent; and
a hook detachably attached to the housing and configured to support the housing on the litterbox, the hook being rotatable with respect to the housing.
2. The odor reducing device according to claim 1 , further comprising
the odor reducing pod removably disposed in the interior of the housing through the top opening.
3. The odor reducing device according to claim 2 , wherein
the bottom opening has a maximum width that is less than a maximum width of the odor reducing pod.
4. The odor reducing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the hook is attached to the rear sidewall so that the front sidewall faces towards a litterbox interior and the rear sidewall faces a litterbox exterior when the odor reducing device is supported to the litterbox.
5. The odor reducing device according to claim 4 , wherein
the hook is rotatably attached to the rear sidewall.
6. The odor reducing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the front sidewall has a pair of first side edges, the rear sidewall has a pair of second side edges that correspond to the pair of first side edges to connect to the front sidewall along the pair of first and second side edges.
7. The odor reducing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of airflow vents includes at least one elongated opening.
8. The odor reducing device according to claim 7 , wherein
the front sidewall includes a circular recess on a front surface of the front sidewall.
9. The odor reducing device according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of airflow vents includes a plurality of first elongated openings disposed adjacent to a first lateral side of the circular recess, and a plurality of second elongated openings disposed adjacent to a second lateral side of the circular recess, the first and second lateral sides being opposite of each other.
10. The odor reducing device according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of airflow vents further include a pair of triangular openings.
11. The odor reducing device according to claim 10 , wherein
a first triangular opening of the pair of triangular openings being disposed on a first top side of the front sidewall, a second triangular opening of the pair of triangular openings being disposed on a second top side of the front sidewall, the first and second top sides being opposite of one another along the front sidewall.
