Cat Urinating Around Apartment

Hi all:

I know this subject has been covered in many threads. Therefore, I
wont discuss here why this one year old is doing this or how to change
her habit.

What I do need to ask about involves cleanup. I live in a small one
bedroom apartment and it is starting to smell of cat urine -- not nice
for me or my security deposit when I move out in August. This cat, one
of two sisters, has peed in unknown locations, mostly in corners,
against walls and behind furniture -- all on carpet.

Since I don't know the exact location of her spots, what's the best
way to clean the place. Does a "rug doctor" work well? I don't want to
aggravate the problem...

The best advice I could give you in a case like this evan, would be to
get rid of the animal. Any animal who can't follow the rulez has got
to go. All you do by keeping her is to make everyone else in your home
unhappy. Not to mention, it's nasty. It's cat urine, for Christ's
sake.
Yes. Get rid of her. That's the best and most conscientious thing you
could do for all concerned.

I recommend ODOKLEEN cleaner to remove any vomit, urine or feces (it
requires lots of rinsing, though - a wet vac works wonders for this),
and then treating the area with ODOKILL or NODOR to remove the odor.
I have yet to find an odor which is not removed using NODOR. ODOKLEEN
and ODOKILL are available through pet supply stores. NODOR is made by
Nu-Scents in Knoxville, TN, USA. They are a very small company and do
not ship outside of NA. Their product can be ordered in the US by
credit card by calling 1*(800)*262*9366. They ship via UPS. They are
very nice people. NODOR will kill male cat spray smell.

Lyn-OK, I'm convinced I need to try this. I've had good luck with Nature's
Miracle, but I'm always open to try something new. So, when I call, do I ask
for ODOKILL or NODOR? What's the difference in the two products? Do they have a
scent of their own? If they don't work by enzyme action, how do they work? Can
you dilute and use with a carpet cleaner? Thanks

The phone number supplied is for NODOR only. It is a concentrate and
only available in quart or gallon containers - buy the smallest - it
will last forever. Runs about $35.

What's the difference in the two products?

NODOR is stronger than ODOKILL. ODOKILL can be purchased at some pet
supply stores - like PetSmart, I think. I think NODOR is more
effective. It is designed for use in commercial industries - horse
farms, etc.


Do they have a
scent of their own?

Yes. Not unpleasant, but a tad strong - dissipates in a couple of
days. But they are not just perfumes - they KILL the odors.

If they don't work by enzyme action, how do they work?

Dunno. If I knew, I'd make the stuff myself and be rich!

Can
you dilute and use with a carpet cleaner?

Yes. Be sure to check for color-fastness. If you need to clean
first, I suggest ODOKLEEN cleaner. It is pretty sudsy though - dunno
if you can use it in a carpet machine or not.

I used to clean cat cages at the vet with a dilute bleach solution
tinged with a dash of diluted NODOR. Worked like a charm. Even kills
cat spray.

Thanks

Yer welcome! Let me know if you buy some and how you like it. What I
do is buy the gallon and split it with friends.

I have to pipe up on this one. First, get a black light (like the
stink finder another poster suggested). This will locate the spots.
Next, off to home depot for Capture Rug Cleaner (this is a powder).
Moisten the areas with water, scrub in the capture and COVER with
something like an upside down laundry basket so the cat will not
re-pee. After very dry, vac with a hose attachment or a shop vac.
Repeat if the odor is still there. Then, douse with febreeze, all
over.
