Learn How to Completely Eliminate Your Cat Urine Problem

You love your kitty, but a cat urine problem can quickly become so intolerable you consider re-homing her. When your house smells of cat pee and every morning or when you get home from work you find another wet spot somewhere in the house, it can drive you crazy. Eventually, you may even stop having people over because of the smell. That nasty odor isn’t good for your health either. The ammonia content in cat urine can irritate your airways and may eventually cause breathing problems. With a little patience and understanding of feline behavior, though, you can get rid of your cat urine problem for good.

Get to the Root Cause

By instinct, cats choose one place to do their business and consistently do it only their. Its not natural for a cat to pee all over the house. If your cat’s doing this, something is wrong. Unless you find out why your cats urinating where she shouldn’t and solve that problem, the most effective cat urine odor removal product in the world wont get rid of your cat urine problem.

Your first step should be to take your cat to the vet to have him checked for health problems that can cause inappropriate urination. If your cat turns out to be healthy, the cause may be stress. A change in a cat’s environment or routine, no matter how small, can seriously stress a cat. If nothing’s changed (not even a new cat in the neighborhood), something may be preventing your cat from using the box. It could be the litter, the box’s location or a cleaner you’ve used on the box, a child who likes to bother kitty when she’s in the box or another cat bullying her away from the box.

Keep in mind, too, that your cat may not stop wetting in a particular area until you completely neutralize the odor of cat urine there. This means you may have to clean a few times while your getting your cat back into the box-only habit.

Get Rid of That Cat Urine Smell

Cat pee–there’s nothing quite like it. It reeks to high heaven and it’s seemingly indestructible. Sometimes you feel the only thing you can take comfort in is the fact that house cat urine still isn’t quite as bad as bobcat urine. 🙂 As stubborn as cat urine odor might be, though, you can clean it up and eliminate that smell from your house.

You have two basic choices–homemade cleaners and commercially made enzyme-based cleaners. Both can eliminate odors from a cat urine problem. For homemade cleaners, you’ll need a proven-effective recipe because some only eliminate the odor you can smell, but leave a trace the cat can smell. The risk is the same with enzyme cleaners. Some do work great on cat pee, but others are only effective on lighter odors like dog urine.

Using the right cleaning procedure is also important. With the homemade cleaners you have a bit more flexibility and they should work as long as you follow the basic procedure. Enzyme cleaners, however, contain natural proteins (enzymes) that are affected by chemicals and temperature. It’s essential to use these products exactly as the manufacturer directs to allow the enzymes to work. At worst, you could kill the enzymes and the product will be little better than water.

You can solve your cat’s inappropriate urination problems and get your home completely free of cat urine odors, but the solutions may not always be obvious. Instead of wasting time learning by trial and error, read the book Cat Urine Problems Eliminated to discover proven-effective ways to retrain your cat and regain your home.
