Cat Urine Smell on Carpet

RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Post By Jenny (Guest Post) (07/07/2008) I disagree with chicklet. I've had ALOT of cats in my life usually have 6-8 cats at a time and most of mine use the litter faithfully. I've had kittens pee on the floor when they were really small but they started using the litter as soon as they realized what it was for. I also live in a two bedroom apartment and have six cats. I did have eight and as long as you use a good kind of scoop able litter and keep it clean then you shouldn't have a problem with smelly cats. Most important thing you can do to keep cats from urinating on the floor is to keep their litter as clean as possible.

Believe it or not....it worked. Sprinkle the DRY powdered product on the carpet. Sort of scrub it into the nap with a broom or brush. Let it sit overnight, or longer if the smell is really bad. Then vacuum it up. (Be sure to replace the bag in your vacuum when you finish !!) If necessary, pull the edge of the carpet up to put some on the carpet-pad. I found this product at the Dollar General Store. It is not as available as the liquid douche products are. Do Not Use the Liquid..... it does not work. Must be something in the powdered product that does the job. barb in tennessee Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Post By Rasta (Guest Post) (02/09/2008) If it is a small spot go to the pet store and get Natures Miracle and follow the instructions on the bottle. It works. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Post By beth (Guest Post) (02/08/2008) Remove the carpet. If it's all over it, you cannot get it out. It seeps down thru the carpet pad and isn't removable. I suggest putting the cat outside and getting new floors!

Cat urine is one of the worst things, especially a male un neutered one. One time I went away for the weekend and didn't realize the cat got locked up in the house. When I got home ,I knew upon entering The Cat got left behind. The smell was horrid! I used my nose (which wasn't hard) Found where the smelly culprit was, My Coats of all things! Spray up on them, Had to be, anyways I washed and washed and rewashed those coats, I tried all kinds of stuff that had been advised to me. Got down to one coat, ultimately I had to throw it out. My mother had a cat, She claimed it was so clean, But there in her bathtub with her dirty cloths was Cat do do, The smell got so bad, You couldn't enter the house. If she went with me she reeked in it, She had her house regularly cleaned yet it did nothing to ward of the smell, People started staying away, thats how bad it was. Cat finally past away, still took forever for the smell to clear out. I love animals But one thing I can't stomach is cat urine, It's horrible stuff. I've been in houses that had cats, you could smell the stink, You mention to the people and they look at you dumb foundly like what smell. Just like my mum, She didn't smell it but others did, and most people she asked would fib and say they smelled nothing and go away complaining about the stench! I know a few apartments that had to be practically gutted in order to get rid of the cat urine smell. Carpets and cats don't mix. If you got a male thats not neutered, you need to get it fixed, Every cat I've ever seen will dirty outside its litter box, Peple try to deny it, Guess its the love of the animal. But it still don't change the facts, As long as there is a cat in the house I honestly don't think you'll ever defeat the smell that comes with them, But good luck trying Report Spam or Abuse RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Post by Lorelei (176) | (02/07/2008) Profile | Contact White Vinegar one part to two/three parts water and allow to dry.

The cat always goes back to the same place even after the spot has been washed. Repellents don't work! miriam from france Answers: RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Try sprinkling some cayenne pepper spice on the spot- cats tend to avoid anything that has it on. (07/10/2006) By tupperangel RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Try white vinegar. It breaks down the enzymes in the urine. I spray some around the cat box to discourage my cat from going outside the box. I've also used it on the carpet when my dog was a puppy and had a few accidents. (07/11/2006) By thriftyboo RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet I agree with the vinegar but I would try to get organic apple cider vinegar. That way you have the natural enzymes in the vinegar to break down the urine. Just the acid in vinegar helps a lot as cat urine is slightly oily. I don't know if you have borateem in France (powdered borax laundry additive and cleaner) but it works too. If your cat hasn't been fixed that might do the trick. Before we got our cat fixed she used to get in the clothes dryer or a just dried basket of clothes to urinate. Talk about maddening! Good luck (07/13/2006) By CARLA BLEDSOE RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Use the urine remover here to remove any staining and kill the smell! http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/Urine_Remover.htm (07/13/2006) By ben123 RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet Cover the urine with tin foil that has been tapped in place, and place a cat box next to it. The cats hate the feel of the tin foil and just might get the idea to use the box again. We tried this and it worked until the cat got very old and just didn't care anymore. We found out then that she was terminally ill and brokenheartedly had to put her to sleep. Take your cat to the vet if she or he is urinating in an odd spot, out of character. (07/13/2006) By Margie Minard RE: Cat Urine Smell on Carpet We got this tip from a book and it worked for us. We used "Nature's Miracle (a LOT of it to completely saturate the area), and then covered the area with plastic for 48 hours. The reason for the plastic is to let the cleaner penetrate the surface before evaporating. The book also recommended a product from a website - www.88stink.com.
