Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2004Getting rid of the PEE smell?
We have a family of stary cats that live on/under/near our deck. All winter they have been peeing on the snow on top of the deck or possibly under the deck. Now that the snow is melting, our backyard smells like Cat Pee really Bad!! How can we get rid of the smell? Main thing to keep in mind is that the cats may be under the deck at any time so spraying something on it would have to be something that won't harm them if it gets on them. Anyone have any ideas on something hopefully non-toxic or whatever? Thanks! > We have a family of stary cats that live on/under/near our deck.

It is the normal natural perfume of cats. That's the way you need to look at it, since it would be much easier to get rid of the cats than it will be to get rid of their scent. We have an inside male who has never been sexually mutilated. He marks his territory very infrequently now-days. But it has not always been so. I say get used to it. Be a big help in the long run. Just my two scents :) IBen Getiner These cats have all been spayed/neutered. They aren't marking their territory they've just been peeing on the deck in the winter because it's available to them. In the summer they go away from the house which is fine. Just need to get the smell off my deck. >> We have a family of stary cats that live on/under/near our deck.

You don't think you can just cut out millions of years of ingrained instinct, now do you... ? Just why do you think they are abandoning their usual piss-points to so-grace your deck? Because other non-mutilated males were marking it first. It's hopeless. Forget it. That or buy a cat-hating dog. IBen Getiner Vinegar! Big cheap bottles of it. Poured or sprayed. Won't hurt the cats or other wildlife, will kill weeds & bacteria, and doesn't smell once it has dried. > We have a family of stary cats that live on/under/near our deck.
