Turkey and cat piss

[magenta321]

How do I get the smell of cat piss to go away? Items peed upon are vcr, table, carpet, and possibly tv speakers.

Ousting, Fabreezing, and cleaning haven't worked.

Compay comes over in 3 hours.

Borax - powder the carpet thoroughly, let it sit for a while, then vaccuum. Baking powder can work too, but I've had better luck with Borax. If iyou don't have Borax but you do have any powdered laundry booster with Borax in it, you can try that. The smell is probably most concentrated in the fabric instead of the hard surfaces, so that's the prime area to attack.

I think the baking soda worked -- but I'm not sure. I couldn't smell it after I cleaned. My uncle didn't mention it. I smell the cat piss again though. Geriatric cats are hard

You need to run out and buy a case of this:





Arm & Hammer Pet Odor & Stain Eliminator


This is worth its weight in gold. I should know - Anna does not like Poe. After I bought some of this stuff, my house started smelling like a real house gain.

[magenta321]

How do I make him never go there again? I am hoping for something that's not visible and that doesn't smell -- to humans at least...

I thought about putting the scat mat there, which would give him a little shock if he tried to stand there to pee... but it's too visible. If my dad knows the cat pissed in the house, the cat will be outside for the rest of his life. So it has to be something that won't tip my dad off.

OMG, it's worse tonight. This is HORRIBLE. My cat is going to have to live in Siberia soon.

I'm thinking maybe I need to start feeding the cat his dinner in the spot where he pees. :s He won't piss where he eats, right?

[mjfrombuffalo[$]]

that's a theory. But then he'll move to another spot. Eventually you'll have food bowls all over the place.

Has the cat been to the vet lately?

[hadassahchana[$]]

I'm telling you, that Arm and Hammer stuff works- removes the smell and the soaked-in pee. Also, whatever scent is in it, the cats don't go back for round two in that spot.

And what MJ said- take your poor kitty to the vet. She might have a UTI.

I ended up trying Resolve Pet Stain and Odor Remover. There was no Arm and Hammer at Stop and Shop. I can't tell if it worked or not cause I've been home, and thus, am immune to the smell, at least for right now.

I think this is just old kitty syndrome. He's been peeing for about a year now. Usually on the bathmat. Then we gave in and bought him a litter box, but we're all sensitive to the smell of cat pee, so even with daily cleanings and odor-free cat litter (yeah right) we were miserable. Then the litter box had to go into the basement. It's been there for a long time now. I think he just doesn't want to climb the stairs so he's looking for a place to pee up here. And since we put the bathmat on the tub now each time, he's lost that spot to pee.

I know why the cat choose the spot he did. He was constantly peeing all over the place around the litter box but not in it. If we put the top thing on the litterbox he won't use it. We ended up getting boot trays we could put on each side of the litterbox. It collects the pee and can be emptied, so, it's not so horrible now (if he goes in the right spot). The boot trays have a little bit of a step he has to make. They're black.

The table that was there had a little step up and is black.

To a blind cat, I'm sure it was close enough.

Your cat is blind, and he didn't have an indoor litter box until last year? Did I get that right?

[magenta321]

He didn't used to be blind. He didn't used to be deaf either. Neither did my grandma. She didn't wear diapers all her life, either

I should also point out that he has always stuck right around the doors to the house. He never was one to wander into the woods or the road. And now he has a seeing eye dog who goes under the porch and tells him when it's time to come in to eat. It's great

What a lucky cat!
