Hi all. I have a few problems with my cat. one of the first is that hes a nervous wee one. Hes 2yrs old, and i got him as a kitten and got his brother with him. when me and my ex split up-we split up the cats-and then i tried2 grab his cat-and i sent it on2 where I would be moving to, but the person who looked afta him lost him. So-anyways..I moved-and moved in wif these people, and my cat didnt settle in, he was peeing and poohing all over the house. the people we stayed with were quite mean, and i went2 behavourial specialists for my cat, got him on 2 different medications, got sprays..all kinds of stuff2 try make him settle. The guy that i lived with used2 kick my cat etc..so my cat got worse. Before I moved out-I was forced2 tie him up outside2 a kennel made specially for him. I moved out-took my cat with me..and hes slowly came around. But lately hes been peeing and poohing in my room. He has a dirtbox inside=and he does use it, and i encourage him2 go outside during the day. Ok...it cleans up...but my main question is-how do u get rid of that cat pee-amonia smell?? Its almost toxic!!!! And any ideas for helping with his problems would be greatly appreciated!!! Hes healthy apart fm his nervous disorder...hes really healthy looking....just his nerves. I been2 animal behaviourists, hes been on kitty prozac,i have differnt sprays i sprayed round the house...been checked up at the vet...hes now on valium-which works really well for him-with his nerves...But any suggestions would be great!!! Cheers all. IP: Logged |

I am currently caring for 7 (yes 7) cats, a 85lb dog and a very active 6yr son. let me tell you, i know a little about both nerves and cats. My 2 oldest are 17 and 11 years and then there is a 10mth old tabby we adopted last Oct. and then unexpectedly my brother moved away and asked me to care for his momma cat and her adolesent kittens 2male 1 female. we had a 2yr very large tom cat that died 1 1/2 yrs ago that caused me all sorts of grief but he was one of the family and it was in part my fault for not getting him fixed before he started spraying ALL OVER my new house. After $100's and racking my brain I discovered this stuff (most pet stores carry it) called Nature's Mirical. it take a bit of time and effort but given the chance IT DOES WORK!!!Also a quick fix for laundry if washing with vinegar doesn't help is to try Listerine Mouth Wash (i like the mint if it won't stain the material) and as for locating that phamtom smell of urine, cat urine crystals glow under a blacklight so buy a small sized one with the long tubes and go around the house with it and you'll be amazed!!! PS. don't try to clean with ammonia or bleach, something about the smell draws them back to do it again and putting thier food where they've been messing will stop some, they don't like to eat and potty to close to each other. hope this helps!!!

I agree with previous poster. NATURE'S MIRACLE. I think they have one that says Stain and Odor Remover and another one that says For Cats Only. Both seem to work well for cat urine. Follow instructions to the letter and it'll work. The problem is, or course, if the cat continues to pee then you are fighting an uphill battle! IP: Logged |

No wonder your cat's nervous after being kicked, and then tied up. And when he was a baby by the sound of it. He's really been abused, so it's going to take a lot of loving and gentle care to give him confidence. You obviously do love him, and that's great, but don't ever tell him off. His bad toilet behviour is just a symptom of his nervousness, and bad experiences. In time, with heaps of love and care, he may well settle right down. IP: Logged |

I had a cat, who I had to put to sleep in November, she was only 6 (Simba) , she had CRF and used to Wee all over the house, destroyed my carpets. She is gone 6 Months now ( I Miss her like Crazy ) but the smell of the Wee is still lingeing on my carpets. I have tried Everything, Someone told me to use White Vinegar and Lemon Juice. Works for awhile, but honestly, I do not think anything in this entire world can get rid of that smell. H E L P IP: Logged |

The only way I've been able to get rid of the odor is with apple cider vinegar. I'll use it in my carpet cleaner and do a really good job on the carpet. After I'm done with that I'll use murphy's oil soap in the carpet cleaner to lift any visible stains and to add a nice scent. It really works well and I've had no problems from it however you may want to spot test an area just to be on the safe side. You don't want to ruin the carpet getting rid of the odor. IP: Logged |

New carpet! Never has the smell gone away. Know many carpet cleaner's who have their own company and they admitt that it truely does not go away. Sorry out of luck. My Rex of 25 just started peeing on the carpet and I signed a lease for a year.It is going to be a smelly one. Sandy and Rex IP: Logged |

I recently bought some cleaning solution from Doctors Foster and Smith this magazine where you can order pet supplies. They seem to work pretty good for me as my 8 yr old female likes to spray on a certain part of my carpet and it's suppose to detour them from doing it again with this smell cats don't like. You can use either one I just bought both to see what was better. One is called (Simple Solutions Stain and Odor Remover) The other is called (Cat- tergent).You can order Doctors Foster&Smith catalog on line at DrsFosterSmith.com or just simply order the product from their website. It's that simple. GOOD LUCK HOPE ALL WORKS FOR YOU AND YOUR KITTY. CALIQU IP: Logged |

I've tried all of the above..and some worked a bit, but the smell was still there according to my cats. Remember, their nose is different than ours. I then paid for a formula which took the odor out of my couch wonderfully. Listed below are the materials needed to make the Cat, Dog, and Pet Urine Odor Eliminator Formula: - 3% Hydrogen Peroxide - Baking Soda - Liquid Hand Soap Other items that you will need include: - a clean, empty 8 oz. or 16 oz. container - plastic spoon - waterproof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) - paper towels I recommend getting a large bottle (32 oz.) of 3% hydrogen peroxide. You might want to buy more than one bottle if you have more than one area that needs to descented. I can find it at Walmart, K-Mart (Big K), or Target for about $0.75. One box (16 oz.) of baking soda costs less than $0.40 and makes countless applications of the solution. I like to make the formula in a clean 8-oz. yogurt cup, but you can use any type of 8oz. or 16oz. container. You can also use baking measuring cups to make the formula - 1cup equals 8oz. and 2 cups equals 16oz. On new, wet urine areas, wear your waterproof gloves to soak up as much of the urine as possible with the paper towels. I usually press firmly down into carpet pad. This enables me to soak up a good amount of the urine. On old urine areas where the odor has been inbedded in your carpet there is no preparation necessary. I have not experimented with urine areas older than 48 hours, but I would think that as long as this solution gets soaked into the carpet and pad it should deodorize it. You may need to apply more than one application. PLEASE DO NOT STORE THIS SOLUTION IN ANY TYPE OF CLOSED CONTAINER BECAUSE IT MAY EXPLODE. THIS IS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OXYGEN MOLECULES THAT ARE GENERATED WHEN MIXING THE SOLUTION. IP: Logged |

Personally I have always found a good spray with Febreeze and then some freshly squeezed lemon juice works wonders, don't use this on dark carpets though it bleaches it, and has the added benefit of keeping the cat off that part of the carpet! IP: Logged |

And then...what do you do with this makeshift formula? do you put it on the surface, let it dry...etc? thanks! healthTchr IP: Logged |

I have recently gotten two cats from a shelter. One of them decided he didnt want to be in my house so he peed everywhere. We took him back and found out his was an outdoor cat and i guess he didn't like being an indoor cat... The point is the owner of the shelter gave me AIP (means Anti-Icky-Poo) thats its real name. Its a bacterial mixture that when sprayed where the cat has peed the bacteria use the amonia etc in the urine as food. They are harmless to humans and they get rid of the smell and when the food is gone they die... very simple... It works great and it doesn't have a harsh smell or is harmfull in anyway...
