Cat Urine: best cleanup solution and cause for serious cat urine?

Hello everyone,

What have all of you discovered as a good solution or product for
cleaning up cat urine? I'd like to hear your recommendations and
especially any home remedies you've come up with.

If you have any tips on getting the stuff out of carpet or yarn that
would be a bonus.

Finally, what causes serious cat urine? Is it diet or a health related
(or both)? If you have any web site links or good search terms to help
with my research, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Robert

If you have a serious cat urine problem, you should give your vet a call.

You need to rid the area of the odor, not just the stain. Go to Walmart of a
pet store and find a product that is made to get out urine odor or the cat
will return to that area again and again.

Has your cat started urinating outside his box? This could mean he has a
urinary tract infection. He associates the litter box with pain and avoids
it. If this is the case, take him to your vet ASAP for a urine sample to be
drawn. An untreated UTI can result in a blockage if left untreated
(emergency situation). If it is not a medical problem, it may be because the
box is not clean enough, or not in a quiet enough place, or has a cover and
he doesn't like a cover, or he's urinated somewhere on the floor once and
then was drawn to it over and over because of the smell.

Hello everyone,


From an old post:

"As for cleaning - I do not recommend the enzymatic cleaners as they
simply do not work well enough - the urine scent is retained and the
cat will pee again to cover it up. There are three products I do
recommend (from an old post):

***paste
I recommend ODOKLEEN cleaner to remove any vomit, urine or feces (it
requires lots of rinsing, though - a wet vac works wonders for this),
and then treating the area with ODOKILL or NODOR to remove the odor.
I have yet to find an odor which is not removed using NODOR. ODOKLEEN
and ODOKILL are available through pet supply stores. NODOR is made by
Nu-Scents in Knoxville, TN, USA. They are a very small company and do
not ship outside of NA. Their product can be ordered in the US by
credit card by calling 1*(800)*262*9366. They ship via UPS. They are
very nice people. NODOR will kill male cat spray smell.

***end paste

Do not use Lysol or Pinesol cleaners as they contain phenolics which
are deadly to cats - they cause liver damage. "

Anna,

It's not for my cat. I've started doing a podcast for cat lovers and
I'm going to talk about this subject in my next podcast. Glad you
entered this thread. I didn't know about CatKb.com until you did. I
just took a look at your site and I really like it.

Is FLUTD the usual cause for serious cat urine? I haven't see anyone
on this thread mention diet so far.

Oh; Interesting.

There's also diabetes and kidney disease - both of these conditions can cause
excess urination.

As for diet, if the cat is eating only canned food there may be more
urination due to the higher water content in the food.

Anna,

Well that's a scary thought, and to go see the vet every time the cat
urinates a little excessively could get expensive. Are there any other
symptoms that would make you decide that a vet visit was a definitely
must to rule out a serious disease?

BTW, the voting feature on your CatKB.com site for each search result
is very cool. Kudos!

Thanks,
