odor

Hi, I have a 6 year old male cat who was neutered when he was very young.
I don't think he is peeing in my house as I have never seen any around and
his box is always full of it when I clean it daily. But however my house
seems to have a strong odor in it. He used to vomit allot until we changed
his diet a while back. Do you think vomit (rather than pee) would make the
house smell bad?? It probably sounds like a dumb question but its not like
the cat vomits a large amount like a human would. He used to vomit allot
though. Its very embarrassing.
I get my carpets cleaned yearly and I am going to steam clean them myself
this week. Any hints on what I can add to the cleaning solution for odors??
Do cats hide and pee where you can't see it?? I have never come across any
wet spots.
Thanks.

Does the cat go out? Maybe he brought in a dead critter.
Do you ever get a mouse in the house? They have a peculiar odor. MLB

You can get a black light to check the carpet for urine stains. I don't
think it would work on vomit so you would have to rely on your nose to
determine where the odor might be coming from.

No he has never been out. No mice or other animals come in. thank
goodness - ugh
Do cats that have been fixed still mark their territory?

Yes sometimes even when they have been fixed they will still spray. I
believe there are medications that can help with this from your vets office.

I suppose they might if there are other cats making them nervous -- either
inside or out. I'm not an expert on this either. Some ants cause a
peculiar odor. I had occasion a couple of years ago to research ants --
quite surprising. MLB

They sell 'stink finders' in pet stores. They are small black lights, not
too expensive. If you find any spots treat with an enzyme cleaner and get
the cat checked for a urinary tract infection.

thank you everyone for the good advice. I really appreciate it!!
