Help: health+behav group dead?
I wanted to ask a question on the health+behav group but there
are no articles. Has everyone left that group? Maybe someone here can help me. I'm looking for a product, so I'm not whether people outside this country can help, but here goes: I need a UV light. (Or is it a black light? Are they the same thing?) What I need is a light that shows cat pee in the dark. I bought one a few years ago, when Smudge was accidentally trapped in my car overnight (because I didn't see her jump in), and she peed on the car floor. The following night, I brought the light out to the car, but it didn't show me anything. And yet, I could smell the pee, so evidently that light was useless. So I need something better than that. Can anyone recommend a reliable brand? If it's something I can buy in a retail store, so much the better - I'd rather not wait for mail order if I don't absolutely have to. (I think Joy is the closest to me, geographically - do you know of any good brands available locally?) I've already bought a big honking bottle of Nature's Miracle and have dumped a bunch of it (twice) on the place where the pee was. However, days later, it still smells of pee. I'm not sure what that indicates. I didn't get all the pee areas? (That's what the light would help with.) The pee soaked through the carpet and into the wood floor? (From what I've heard, that would be a disaster.) Nature's Miracle isn't so miraculous? I couldn't have bought a more appropriate kind, as this one is meant to deal with feline urine. Anyone have advice related to: * UV/black lights that show cat pee in the dark? * Other products besides Nature's Miracle that might undo the odor? Not looking for any other advice, thanks. -- Joyce - Mommy loves you too my sweaty litter baby fire - Ummm what mom? - MY SWEET LITTLE BABY GIRL!! sorry honey! -- damnyouautocorrect.com |

I bought one at Foster Smith a few years ago. Check out "pet supply stores" on the "puter./ MLB I hope this wasn't a product called "Stink-free", or "No-stink", or something like that. The blacklight comes with a bottle of their odor remover. I had a terrible experience with that stuff about 4 years ago, when poor Smudge got stuck in my car overnight (it was an accident, I didn't see her jump in). Next morning I found her in there. Luckily this was in late November and it wasn't too hot in the car. It was also nighttime for most of her time stuck in there. However, the car smelled strongly of cat pee. I was going on a trip the next day to meet some friends at a cabin in the mountains. So I needed to get rid of the cat pee smell ASAP. I went to the local pet store to buy some odor remover and a blacklight. I found the "No-stink" stuff, which had both things in one product. Unfortunately, the blacklight didn't work at all, so I had to find the pee by smell. Then I dumped the odor remover on the floor of the car, where the smell was strongest. Next day, I packed up my car and got in to drive off to the mountains. AAAAGH! The car smelled like I had fallen into a vat of cheap perfume. I had to drive the entire 3-hour trip with the windows wide open, and after a couple of hours, my throat got scratchy and irritated. I stopped once or twice to try to wash the stuff out of the rug, which helped slightly but was still very unpleasant. Also, it's a lot colder in the mountains than it is here by the Bay, but I kept all the windows wide open anyway. I'll never by "No-stink" or whatever it was called again! Hope you had better luck with whichever product you used. -- Joyce If you can't operate your turn signal, what makes you think you can drive the rest of the car? -- bumper sticker |

The rescue group I am on recommends FON (Feline Odor Neutralizer) they say it works better than Nature's Miracle. PetsMart has the black lights - I think they are also known as Woods lights. |

I should be able to find it on line. Joy |

I didn't get back into the car until Sunday. OMG! After finding and throwing away the fish, guess what solved the problem? Febreez I'm not kidding. Jill |

OMG! After finding and throwing away the fish, guess what solved the problem? Febreez I'm not kidding. I bought Febreeze recently because I have a piece of foam on top of my mattress that had started to smell of old sweat. I've been told that this is because I don't have a mattress cover. So I sprayed both sides with Febreeze and let it dry out. It did help somewhat, but now the smell is back, and it's only been maybe a month since I sprayed. So I guess it doesn't work for everything. In my experience, *nothing* works as advertised. But I'm getting desperate, so it might be worth a try. But first, I have to *see* where the pee is so know where to spray it! So a good black light is the first order of business. Joyce |
