      Sorry for chiming in a bit late to the discussion, but I really feel like I need to add my 2 cents.


      Cats don't just pee on floors and beds because they're in pain - could be a multitude of other reasons! Most common is that male cats feel the need to mark their territory.


      As for myself, I finally found something that works for the cat pee smell in my home! A herbal mixture of sorts! I now recommend it to everyone because it works so freakin' well and we save SOO much money!


      You should definitely check it out, we don't even buy Odorban and the likes any longer :)


      What a relief to finally have gotten rid of the horrible cat pee smell, and for a decent price as well.


      Registered an account only to say this:


      One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it.


      My cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked.


      He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at. It wasn't until I found "Cat Spraying No More" that I was able to finally get rid of this tiresome behavior. Now my house doesn't smell like a litter box anymore :)


      To be honest, I don't know too much more about it so I did a quick Google search and here's a description of the spray with a long review as well.


      No I have not been paid for this post nor do I make any commissions off of it. I really just want to help you guys out. I hope you don't mind.


      I'm based in Sweden, by the way, so you should be able to get it too.


      Good luck with the odor! It really lowers your quality of life, doesn't it?

    I used straight vinegar that I keep in a spray bottle that I use all the time. Make sure you use enough to let it down into the pad, as it may have gone down that far. Let it dry and check to see if the odor is gone. If you still can smell the urine, try again, it sometimes can take more than one try no matter what you use. Once I was able to get all the smell out of the carpet in that spot, the cat never returned. You will know when it is dry when you can't smell the vinegar anymore. My son has a hybrid cat that thought the extra bedroom was her litter box. Once I got the carpet cleaned up, she never used it again. I hope this helps you!

    after you clean it, use white vinegar. It will help with the odors and it will also deter the cats going there, they hate vinegar. Also, keep a squirt gun close by full of water, if you see them look like they might mark the house, squirt them with water. They will get the idea in time. Be patient, be diligent and be ready.

    I read if you put a little Vick’s around any area you do not want you cats......it will keep them away.

    urinary l avoid amonia odor after cleaning the areas with it. Have cat checked for urinary infection as well.

    cursor skipped above - cats hate amonia and natural essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus. etc. are natural deterrants.
