Odor problem - Help!

Waffles is very ill. He has cancer and is eating very little. On the
way home from the vet, he peed in his cat carrier, which is fabric.
Some of it went on the car seat. I've tried water and Nature's Miracle,
and can't get rid of the stench. Does anybody have any other solutions
to get rid of the odor?

Oh Joy, I'm so sorry to hear about Waffles having cancer. I very nearly
posted this morning asking how he is because we hadn't heard anything
for a while.

I don't know if this will help but have to you tried Febreze? Years ago
I came home from the grocery store and did not notice a package of raw
fish had fallen out of the grocery bag in the trunk. The next day I
opened the car door, OMG the stench slapped me in the face. I kid you
not, spritzing Febreze in the trunk then leaving it open to the air for
a bit completely eradicated the smell.

Purrs for you and for Waffles.

Poor little Waffles. Give some gentle cuddles from me.

I'm so sorry to hear about Waffles. I hope you are able to keep him
comfortable.

Your problem with odor may be that it has been absorbed deep into the fabric
and padding. If that is the case, you may need a professional cleaning.
Beyond that, here are two "home remedies" that I have found helpful in the
past: (1) an open container of white vinegar; (2) a pan of charcoal
briquettes--the the type *without* lighter fluid. The white vinegar could
be placed in an open cup in your car's cup holder to prevent it from
spilling when you are driving, and the briquettes could be placed in a large
tray on the floor. These "remedies" will not have an immediate effect; it
will take awhile for them to work.

Poor Waffles! I hope that he'll recover a bit and be able to eat more. It's
always worrying when they don't eat much.

I had that happen when I was taking an unaltered male cat to the vet for
neutering. I found that repeated drenching of the upholstery with
Nature's Miracle did (finally) work, but it took a while. I've since
discovered something called "Stream Clean" which worked beautifully on a
blood-stained carpet. It advertises itself as a "stain and odor
eliminator", but I've not had a need for the odor-removing feature since
I found it. (It is rather expensive, but it certainly did a great job
on my carpet.)

Purrs for Waffles, and for you. I have heard of a product called F.O.N (Feline Odor Remover) that is supposed to be one of the best to get rid of the smell. With any of them, you have to saturate the area with the solution to make sure you get it all.

What type of cancer does he have?

Thank you, both for the sympathy and the tips.

He seems to be reasonably comfortable, and his white count after three
doses of chemo was good. I just wish he'd eat more.

I'm so very sorry to hear about waffles.

I do use Fabreze but that may not be strong enough on this occasion. It
may be an idea to ask at your local chemist if they have a recommendation.
Or maybe your vet's, they must have problems like this.

Purrs and prayers on their way for Waffles and for you too. know how
heartbreaking it is.

Judith


Thank you, Judith.
