    If he smells it and you don't, have him search for it where he smells it the strongest. If it is in carpeting, spray it well with straight vinegar, it may be down in the padding. Vinegar is really good for taking out the cat urine out of anything that it doesn't harm. Cats can be sneaky, you never know if they aren't using the litter box until you start smelling it. Heat and higher humidity does make the smell come out more. Good luck finding where it is coming from! It is not always easy!

    I've used a "black light flashlight" from Petsmart to help find areas where my cat may have gone, without me knowing it. Really helps because it will illuminate the cat urine. Hope this helps you!! :)

      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: http://29.nomorecatpee.com/


      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?

    Servicemaster used a product called Urine-X in my home completely eliminating the cat urine odor.

    First off, do you own a cat? If not, this could be from a previous resident. In that case try carpet cleaning as per the previous responses. Now some odd spots to check. We had a cat with undiagnosed kidney disease. He started using one of our large planters in the living room. It took us forever to figure it out. We kept checking the carpet and finding nothing. I have also had cats that would pee in the shower/tub if the litter box wasn't available. In a little used shower, the urine could build up in the elbow joint and smell. Good luck. I'm one of those people who can smell trace urine smells while my spouse does not.
