Hi, I know this isn't needlework related, but I hope someone
can give me some advise because of all the cat owners/lovers
in this group. We put down new carpeting in our family
room. Brought in some firewood that we had stored outside
and our 15 year old cat peed on it and of course peed on
the carpet in the process. We figured some stray cats had
sprayed the firewood and TK (the 15 year old cat) had to
remark the wood with his scent. I liberally sprayed pet
urine odor remover on it. Then had professional carpet
cleaners come in 2 weeks later (because it still smelled)
and had them clean just this one 3 foot area where the
firewood rack used to sit. When the smell came back I
pulled the carpet back, removed the padding (it smelled too)
and sprayed the carpet backing and the cement floor. It
still smells. The melodious odor spreads throughout the
family room, into the kitchen and is driving me crazy. Not
sure if the cat is re-peeing or what. I'm at a loss what
to do now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry for bumping this old thread, but I really feel like I have some advice to offer you - and you seemed to really need it at the time

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 :)

Here's a link the their site if you're interested in checking it out: NoMoreCatPee.com

I hope you guys don't mind me sharing this. Cheers!
