Roland the cat is not a sprayer, but I think he must have had a little problem with his pistol recently, in the mud room where the litter box is kept.
The litter box is on a tile floor, and today my husband changed out all the litter, and thouroughly cleaned the floor. I asked him to pour about a cup of orange lysol down after he cleaned, and mop it around the area, letting it dry.
I just called him and he said when he went in that area, he could still smell cat piss (and he has a really bad sense of smell).
Any ideas on what to apply to the tile to take up the smell, if that what the problem is?
I'm wondering if the smell is really on the wall right there, I'll be checking that out when I get home.
That Roland....
is it a drywall partition ?
if so , i bet it has absorbed the smell. But it shouldnt be THAT bad?
It could just be litter that is still wet and stuck between his toes when he walks out of the litter box
That could carry the pee into corners where the baseboard absorbs it, the tile grout absorbs it.. etc.
Get a mat for him.
Move the litter box and see if you can keep Roland away and put a BUNCH of baking soda down.
I had a cat piss smell in my rock.. remember that?
It took a MONTH to get it out.
and it was bad.
Let me see if I can find that thread...
thanks shewolf.
I just walked in the house, and it smells nice and fresh.
BUT, when I when into the mud room, with brand new fresh litter, cleaned floor, the smell is still there....just like....there.
That mixture of vinegar, dawn and baking soda sounds promising, as does the oxyclean.
The tile is sealed, so I can see how it got down into the tile, maybe it just bonded to the sealant.
But, as anyone can testify (I said TESTIFY Lord!), cat piss is some strong stuff.
Well, I'm off to row. Later....
any other cat pee stories out there?
oh, did the smell ever come back on your rock?
Nope.
Remember that big amethyst? Maybe?
that was the stone..
yeah!
that was that crystal that smelt like cat piss over near your front door.
Right?
can you tell which finger Im holdin here?
oh...I used that Oxy whatever stuff.
You know, that powder that guy on TV sells? The guy that yells?
Yeah, I added four scoops to a gallon of HOT water, and mopped down the wall and floor area there....then slopped a bunch of the oxy water on the floor with the mop and let it dry.
No odor at all.
good stuff.
Or was it oxycontin?....no, that doesn't sound right....
My cat once pooed in my upturned plastic soldiers helmet, when I was about six or seven.
I had to use Mum's best dishwashing brush and hot water to get it all off quickly, as I was going out to play war that morning.
Up in the woods, wooden stick rifle in my hand, I had the occasional whiff hit me but carried on regardless. Well, you can't afford to worry about that sort of thing when you have the enemy to seek out and destroy.
