Cat Odor

Welcome back to my site all about Cat Odor.  When we last left on I was  telling you about my friend Jill and we had just figured out how to stop the kitties from using the bathroom in places other than the litter box.  Today, I want to show you exactly how you can remove cat odor from your home permanently without spending a fortune on high dollar products some of which don’t even work.

The major cause of cat odor is cat urine that has had a chance to dry in your carpets, walls, and furniture.  In order to get rid of the odor you first have to get rid of the cause.  To do that we need to remove any cat urine stains that can be found around the house.  Before we get started you’ll need to make sure you have the following items:

• Paper Towels
• Sponge
• White Vinegar
• Warm & Cool Water
• Small Measuring Cup
• Small Bowel
• Store Bought Odor Remover

Five Easy Steps to Remove Cat Odor

1. Using cool water, damped your sponge and blot the effected area
2. Use your paper towels to blot away any excess moisture
3. Mix 2 cups of warm water and 1 tbsp of white vinegar in your bowel
4. Dab your mixture on the stained area
5. Sprinkle your store bought cat odor product on the cleaned area

The reason that most cat odor products fail is because they are only trying to mask the problem.  With time they will stop working and that familiar smell will come back but the smell is the least of your worries.  Cat’s have keener senses of smell than we humans so and they are extremely territorial by nature.  In some cases if a cat can detect a scent of cat urine it will attempt to remark those areas meaning that not only will you have more cat odor to worry about but your property is going to be damaged.

By following the steps above to first remove the source of the cat odor and then using a good store bought product on top of it you will have not only removed the odor for now but you will have removed it permanently.

The majority of pet owners have at one time or another felt frustrated by the pet owner experience.  It is nothing to be ashamed of, it is perfectly natural.  Most of us with children even get frustrated with them but we love them none the less and the same is true for our pets.  Cats are a tricky bunch to keep up with at times but if you abandon certain duties you are going to end up with a cat odor problem.

I once had a good friend; well we are still friends actually, but anyway she had this cat that would never go to the litter box.  She would go on and on about how much she loved the thing but she was considering getting rid of it because of the foul cat odor it was causing.  I asked her if she could think of anything that would make the cat not want to use the litter box  and she said no, of course not.  Now, being an animal lover I couldn’t stand the idea of a cat going to the pound to be put down (because we all know that is what ends up happening) over a bathroom issue so I agreed to stop by one day after work and try to figure it out with her.

So after work I stopped by as I had promised to do and she wasn’t kidding one bit.  The stench of cat odor hit me in the face the moment I walked in the door.  I asked her to point me toward the litter box which she did and instantly I knew what the problem was.  She had placed the cats food and water bowls right next to the kitty litter.  Now, stop and think, would you like to eat in the same area you defecate in?  I didn’t think so and neither does your cat.  They want their eating and drinking area to be clean and will often find other less visible areas to do their business rather than dirtying up their dinner area.

I explained all of this to my friend and she was relieved.  She admitted that she had never really wanted to take the animals to the pound but she just didn’t know what else she could do about her cat odor problem.  I told her I understood and thanked her for giving me a chance to try to get to the root of it.  So in the end it all worked out but she still had the one little problem of how to remove the cat odor that was already inside her apartment.  In my next post I’ll tell you exactly how you can get rid of cat odor using home made remedies that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Hello everyone, I’m James, and I’d like to thank you for stopping by my site dedicated to Cat Odor.  A big of an odd topic no doubt but if you have cats like me then I’m sure you can understand.  I love my cats to death but I love my house and fresh air also.  My wife and I were frustrated with the fact that owning cats meant that we were stuck living with cat odor so we decided to build a site dedicated to the topic of how to prevent and remove in necessary cat odor from your house.

Again, I’d like to thank you for taking the time to stop by our site.  We are going to give to you all the information you need to make sure that being cat owners doesn’t require you living with cat odor!
