The better quality food you feed your cat, the less stinky your cat's crap will be. Plus, your cat will probably use it's litter box less so less smell and less litter box cleaning. How do you know if your cat food is a quality food? If it's sold at a grocery store or walmart...it's not quality food.
Basically you want the least amount of fillers possible so if corn/bran/rice etc is in the first 4 ingredients of the food, the food is pretty much garbage. Go to a petstore like pet planet, petsmart (or fairplay if you're close to west hillhurst) and look at the food they sell. Wellness, Innova (EVO line), Nature's Variety, Orijen, Blue Buffalo (Wilderness) are all really good brands of cat food. They cost more but you end up feeding less since there's more protein and less filler so it works out about the same price-wise. My 75 lb dog used to eat 4 cups a day of Iams and now he's on 2 cups a day of Orijen and you can tell the difference the food has made.
If you do decide to try switching food, make sure you don't do it all of a sudden. Rule of thumb is 10-14 days of gradually mixing in the new food but if you're going from a by-filler food to a protein rich food, I'd go even slower in case of "dietary upsets".
