Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2004Gawd, that stinks
Hi all. I know this topic has probably been beaten to death, and I've even gotten some advice on the subject from here, but nothing has worked. One of our cats has been constantly peeing on the carpet in our dining room, and now the whole apartment smells like cat pee. We can see where she's doing it, and its by the floor boards, table and other random spots. We've vacuumed and cleaned with some heavy chemicals, as well as one of those cat pee cleaners from pet's smart. We have also put down paper laced with white vinegar, but that didn't work either. She seems to be doing it on a regular basis, but we can't catch her doing it to discipline her. We have also bought some cat training stuff to spray on the carpet, but it doesn't seem to work either. Suggestions on what stops the peeing, and more importantly, what kills the smell? > Hi all.

If the cat is in perfect health, restrict how much access to the house until it has shown it can "find' the litter box when its time to go Add additional litter boxes to the house. The recommendation is one box per cat plus one additional one. Lots of people get away with less, but when healthy cats start peeing else where, that is usually the cheapest and easiest alternative to see if it is just a complaint about peeing on someone else's pee. > > Hi all.

My cat usually "goes" outside...but last summer i noticed a bad "cat" smell in my basement. one day i saw my cat outside "going" and guess what? the darn rat_of_a_cat was peeing *into* my open basement window! I put a shield in front of it! > Hey here's a good one for you. > My cat usually "goes" outside...but last summer i noticed a bad "cat" smell [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > I put a shield in front of it! Eww! Lovely! I bet you were glad to finally find the cause of that one. Take her to the vet - if there is a medical reason behind this behavior, all the cleaning in the world won't work. If they don't catch anything on the physical, have them do bloodwork it can often indicate kidney or liver disease as well as diabetes. Or it could be something simple like a urinary tract infection. Now on to the smell, good luck, cat pee is hard to get rid of. I have my carpets professionally cleaned every three months (he only charges $40 for two rooms, damn cheap). He has recommended using something called "odo-ban" you can find it by the gallon at Sam's club. If the behavior continues, try isolating the cat in one room w/the litter box, or large dog crate can work in a pinch. By first and foremost, get her to the vets! > Hi all.

I don't know if its going to work, but I've already gone through one bottle today, with the plan of getting another tommorrow.
