Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?
Hello everyone,
What have all of you discovered as a good solution or product for cleaning up cat urine? I'd like to hear your recommendations and especially any home remedies you've come up with. If you have any tips on getting the stuff out of carpet or yarn that would be a bonus. Finally, what causes serious cat urine? Is it diet or a health related (or both)? If you have any web site links or good search terms to help with my research, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Robert http://www.radiomeow.com/ The Cat Lovers Web Radio Show |

Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?
What have all of you discovered as a good solution or product for
cleaning up cat urine? I'd like to hear your recommendations and especially any home remedies you've come up with. You need to rid the area of the odor, not just the stain. Go to Walmart of a pet store and find a product that is made to get out urine odor or the cat will return to that area again and again. Finally, what causes serious cat urine? Is it diet or a health related (or both)? If you have any web site links or good search terms to help with my research, I'd appreciate it. Has your cat started urinating outside his box? This could mean he has a urinary tract infection. He associates the litter box with pain and avoids it. If this is the case, take him to your vet ASAP for a urine sample to be drawn. An untreated UTI can result in a blockage if left untreated (emergency situation). If it is not a medical problem, it may be because the box is not clean enough, or not in a quiet enough place, or has a cover and he doesn't like a cover, or he's urinated somewhere on the floor once and then was drawn to it over and over because of the smell. -- Message posted via CatKB.com http://www.catkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx...ealth/200605/1 |

Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?
RadioMeow wrote: Hello everyone, From an old post: "As for cleaning - I do not recommend the enzymatic cleaners as they simply do not work well enough - the urine scent is retained and the cat will pee again to cover it up. There are three products I do recommend (from an old post): ***paste 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. ***end paste Do not use Lysol or Pinesol cleaners as they contain phenolics which are deadly to cats - they cause liver damage. " -L. |

Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?
Anna,
It's not for my cat. I've started doing a podcast for cat lovers and I'm going to talk about this subject in my next podcast. Glad you entered this thread. I didn't know about CatKb.com until you did. I just took a look at your site and I really like it. Is FLUTD the usual cause for serious cat urine? I haven't see anyone on this thread mention diet so far. Robert http://www.radiomeow.com/ The Cat Lovers Web Radio Show |

I'm going to talk about this subject in my next podcast. Glad you Oh; Interesting. Is FLUTD the usual cause for serious cat urine? I haven't see anyone on this thread mention diet so far. There's also diabetes and kidney disease - both of these conditions can cause excess urination. As for diet, if the cat is eating only canned food there may be more urination due to the higher water content in the food. -- Message posted via http://www.catkb.com |

Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?
Anna,
There's also diabetes and kidney disease - both of these conditions can cause excess urination. Well that's a scary thought, and to go see the vet every time the cat urinates a little excessively could get expensive. Are there any other symptoms that would make you decide that a vet visit was a definitely must to rule out a serious disease? BTW, the voting feature on your CatKB.com site for each search result is very cool. Kudos! Thanks, Robert http://www.RadioMeow.com/ |
