First somebody- either one of two cats or a dog- peed in our expensive chair. I had it cleaned and a few week later the same thing happened again in the same chair. We cleaned it again but of course odor is still there.
this is happening at night but I'm pretty sure my little dog stays right by the bed all night. I took the cats to the vet and only one 's urine could be tested as the other one's bladder was empty.
We have been putting baskets, etc in the two matching chairs at night but last night somebody peed on the sofa. We are at our wits end.
NOTHING different has happened. no construction, no change in food, litter. nothing.
We love our pets but we cannot continue to live in urine soaked environment.
I was wondering if there is some kind of cat whispere around who can help us.
If not we will have to get rid of two very beautiful ragdoll Cats and a Bichon.
Sorry to say but that chair will have to be trashed. You will never be able to get rid of the urine smell. I've had cats all my life and have tried every product on the market and nothing, NOTHING, will remove the smell 100% unless you have it reupholstered. I had a cat about 5 years ago that started urinating in a corner of a bedroom for no apparent reason. We tried everything to get that cat to stop peeing in the room. In the end, the cat found a new place to live. I had to replace the carpet/padding and apply sealer/primer/stainblocker 3 times and if I got down and smelled the new carpet there was still a faint odor of urine. I love my cats and dog but they are not a part of the family and will find a new home if they start destroying my property.
As for the cat rehab clinic I've never heard of such a place. Maybe contact your vet? I still feel like you'd be time/money ahead of yourself by getting a new cat especially since you can find them all day long for free!
Okay, when I first read this I busted out laughing. I do feel your pain because I had a male cat that would not stop peeing in my apartment and it was such a bummer and I had to eventually find him a new home. BUT I first imagined cats with little glasses of beer whooping it up. We have three of our own so I love the little critters. Best of luck with your situation.
I had a similar problem, cat started peeing on the hardwood floors, for no apparant reason! I posted on the pets forum and got lots of good suggestions.
Vets will tell you that a cat will pee only in their litter box unless something is wrong. Hundreds of dollars later, we discovered that the cat had "behavioral issues". I ended up putting a 2nd litter box in the area that she kept peeing in and she no longer pees on the hardwood. Made no sense to me!
There is a company in this area that has a "machine" that is GUARANTEED to get out any odor. I don't remember the name but could find it if you can't.
NOTHING different has happened. no construction, no change in food, litter. nothing.
Cats often pee for territorial reasons, are upset or are getting senile. I know you think nothing has changed, but I can almost guarantee you that something has changed, no matter how minor.
I had an 18 year old female cat that started defecating in and around the shared food bowl. It's not unusual for cats to use their feces or urine to mark territory. We figured out after a lot of different things that she was being harassed by the other two male cats and was getting upset. We ended up locking her in the master bedroom at night. (Her litter box was in the master bathroom.) Eventually we were able to let her sleep back in the kitchen. That only lasted for about a week or two before she wanted to come into the bedroom again. The main thing we had to do was to keep our female away from the 5 year old male cats as much as possible.
Is there a room you could lock them in at night with a litterbox where they would be reasonably comfortable? Does the dog tend to sit on that chair? Do the cats ever sleep with you in your bedroom? I agree with underPSI. You won't get rid of the smell. You'll just cover it up. It might go away if you have the chair reupholstered, but maybe that's not worth it.
It won't soak into leather.
I had tried that stuff you recommended but it made no difference at all.
The leather seats had the holes for ventilation and the pee went down
between the seats and it would knock you out for days until I got this product.
One thing the product says is to throughly drench everywhere the pee
reached.
Maybe I just caught it in time but it did work for me...
