WE had to take our cat to the vet a couple of weeks ago and as I was inside
writing a check my husband took Mickey out to the car, set him on the seat
and Mickey got terrified and peed in a very large area.  Needless to say,
the car smells horrible now.  We poured vinegar/water solution into the seat
and then a cat urine deodorizer (can't think of the name) and it did nothing
for the odor.
Any suggestions??  Thanks.

Have you tried taking the seats out for a more thorough cleaning?
At last resort you can have the seats reupholstered.

A cat carrier with a solid bottom is a good thing to have.  
I have a "Pet Taxi", which has a molded plastic top and
bottom with a wire door.  It comes apart for washing.

I once had a neighborhood tom cat spray in my car when I forgot to roll the
windows up one night. Phewww. Here's what I did, and it worked. Get some
"enzyme" cleaner, specifically for pet odor. Nature's Miracle is the one I
used, but there are others on the market. Spray it liberally on the spot, keep
it moist for at least eight hours so it can work. (A Bissell Little Green or
other portable "steam cleaner" is great for this) Don't use any kind of
detergent before using the Nature's Miracle. Then I took my HEPA air filter out
into the car, and let it run. Re-apply the Nature's Miracle if itt doesn't work
the first time or two. Good luck!!

I take it that you have not succumd to the vicious persistent clamor
of those who would shove you towards sexual mutilation upon your male
cat. This is very good. We could never visit such a barbaric
monstroisity upon out little guy either. It is far better for us to
endure what nature intended rather than change his little life forever
with the totally unnecessary and cruel procedure know as 'neutering'.
Thank God there are some left among us how have transcended our own
self-centeredness.
Thanks, Jamie. It was good to read your post.

News flash. Cats still pee when they're neutered.

But it isn't quite as foul.

Forget her. She's out in left field and there's no game going on.
Really though, it isn't that bad once the cat marks his territory
once or twice every once in a while. We've found that Chessie marks
more frequently only if we've been around another cat. I guess we
bring their scent home on our shoes and pants. I have a few strays
that my people at work feed and [used to]let into our offices from
time to time, so I know. I now try my dead-level best to keep them
outside. It's not easy sometimes living like this, but it sure beats
the alternitive.
