Cat Stain Removers

Accidents happen. And sometimes they happen on your couch. What to do when Fluffy makes your home smell like it's a personal mating ground? Clean it up!  Here's a guide to what to use for that ohappetizing job.

Sniff Out the Problem

Or not. If your nose isn't strong enough to find the source, try a black light to find the offending spot. But, beware, you may be overwhelmed with grossness. The bad news is, of all the beings that may urinate in your home, your cat will be the worst offender. Cat urine is especially strong and cats can jump and climb practically anywhere. So those spots might be anywhere.

Is there a problem?

There are several reasons why Fluffy might be urinating everywhere. Missing the box? Work on litter box training. Spraying urine? It may be a hormonal/behavioral problem. Consult a veterinarian. And this guide: ! * It's natural for cats that aren't spayed or neutered to begin spraying at around six months old. Not so normal for cats that have been snipped to relieve themselves outside of the box. * Make like a detective and scope the scene: Was there a regular amount of urine? ** A decent it's the living conditions that have gone south. *** Is the litter box clean? Far from the food bowl? Out in the open or inaccessible? Has a new cat been brought into the house? **** Clean the litter box, move it to a room that's private and easily accessible, and, if sharing is an issue, give the cat its own box for a bit. *** It could also be spite: Have you given the cat proper attention, including regular feedings? If not, make amends. ** A small puddle of urine is a sign of possible stoppage. Stop reading this and take your cat to the vet immediately! Stoppage is often fatal.
