It is probably not the kitty cat that smells but the urine deposits that it is leaving behind. Cat’s will mark their territory by urinating. Some cats urinate outside the litter box and others have a strong urine smell even when they use the litter box. A cat will urine mark its territory when it is in a new living situation or if there are other cats in the house and it feels threatened. There are many reasons a cat will urinate outside of its litter box. It may not like the kind of litter that is in the box. Some cats are fussy and do not like course feeling litter or scented litter. If the cat is new to the household it is best to buy small amounts of litter until kitty has picked its favorite. Another reason a cat will urinate outside the litter box is a rare condition but nonetheless it happens. The condition is called feline senility. The cat actually forgets where it is and what it is supposed to do. If the cat is over 10 years old it is possible for it to contract this condition. You will know it because the cat will have a blank look and act lost. If this condition exists in your cat veterinary assistance is mandatory.
No matter what the reason your cat does not use its litter box the odor is not pleasant and must be eliminated. The floor where the litter box is housed can be washed and kept clean but the urine odor will permeate the room and eventually the entire house. If you have one cat it is easy to keep the litter box clean because it would be a small litter box. However, if you are a multi cat family than cleaning the litter box is a little more difficult because it would be fairly large. Sprays do not do the job of eliminating cat urine odor. They are a short term solution and once they evaporate the urine odor is back. There is a product on the market called OdorZout Odor Eliminator For Cats. It is an additive powder that is sprinkled directly into the litter box and eliminates the urine order at the source.
If the cat has decided that the carpeting is a good place to urinate whether purposefully or accidentally it not only leaves an odor but a stain as well. To clean the carpet use a mild detergent and warm water. Do not, under any circumstance, use ammonia to clean the spot. The main chemical in mammalian urine is ammonia. When you use this chemical to clean the spot on the rug you are telling kitty it is okay to use this spot again. After you have cleaned the spot with a mild detergent and warm water let the spot dry thoroughly and sprinkle OdorZout All Surface Granules to absorb the odor.
For successful cat odor removal OdorZout products are the answer. The product is natural and pleasant for you and the cat.
