Yes and no :/ if it’s a small space and the litter box is in the room it’s kind of unavoidable but anything else just means they aren’t cleaning up after the cat

If the litter box isn’t in the room it shouldn’t smell like shit lol cats are usually clean

Assuming your friend has a litter box in her room, politely ask her to scoop the liter daily and maybe to change the type of liter. They have really good ones that hide the smell.

Put in for a litter robot, it’s a lifesaver

Kinda, if it’s a small space and she’s cleaning the litter-box daily and routinely changing the liter, there’s not much else she can do. HOWEVER, if she isn’t doing all of that then you might wanna say something. If you can’t even clean a litter-box you shouldn’t have any kind of pet…

I can always smell if someone owns a cat but generally it shouldn't be the kind of scent you can't ignore

If it bothers you maybe you could ask her to buy scented cat litter, if the cat isn’t litter boxed trained that’s def why

It kind of depends. The room with the litter box can smell like cat poo but it shouldn’t be overbearing. I saw that you said it’s not self cleaning so yeah, there would be a slight smell. If she’s not cleaning daily that could also be a cause
