How do you remove the smell of cat urine from carpet without removing the carpet?
Answers:
When I had a sick cat, she would pee all over the house. You can remove the urine smell and stains by using a home remedy of 2 cups peroxide, 2 tsp baking soda and a couple drops of liquid dish detergent. Saturate the area -- it will evaporate on its own. The urine smell may be stronger while wet but will go away as the liquid dries. Depending on how bad the urine is, you may have to treat it a second time. Works great on cement floors also!
I use Nature's Miracle (available in "For Cats Only" formula at a pet store). It's a liquid, and you dump it on and make sure you *totally* saturate the area. Then let it dry on its own. It will still smell like cat pee until it all dries. If it dries and you still notice an odor, you may need to treat the carpet pad. Good luck!
you can buy a spray at the vet. Beside this you have to clean the carpet with water and soap but then put some orange arome oil on it. The cats dislike the smell of oranges or lemons,
Try this stuff called 'Nature's Miracle'. You can find it at most pet stores. Spray it where the cat urinated after cleaning...it's a neutral scent to them and they don't feel the need to mark their territory.
I'd get your cat checked out and make sure it;s not sick...sometimes this is a sign of a UTI. If it's not sick, it might just be very territorial and will feel threatened if it smells unfamiliar scents. You have to train them, really. My cat used to do this for a good 4-5 months when I first got her, but then she just kind of grew out of it. Make sure the litterbox is clean and that it's always in the same spot. If you catch it in the act of urinating on the carpet, try raising your voice and saying "NO!" or squirt with a water bottle. (NEVER hit! You'll make your cat scared of you). Hope that helps!
Lick it dry!
There is virtually no way to remove the smell other than time. And if you try to stop your cat from peeing I think he'll resent you in the long run. How would you feel if you weren't aloud to pee?
Cats will pee outside the litter box if the litter box is dirty, so make sure you're scooping the littler box everyday and once a week, clean the litter box itself with soap and water and put new litter in. Also, sometimes cats are very picky about the litter itself. I use Arm and Hammer and my three cats like it. Also, the problem could be medical, like a urinary track infection. The animal associates the pain with the litter box itself and will stay away from it. Go to a different vet and rule out a urinary track infection first. Good luck!
There's a product called Woolite Pet Stain and Odor remover that I've used for dog messes, but I'm not sure how well it would work on cat urine. Also, look for a spray called Urine Gone (yes, that's really what it's called). Supposedly, it will eradicate the smell and stain of any kind of urine.
Make sure your kitty's litterbox is clean. Did you recently change his litter or move his litterbox to a different location? Cats are pretty picky about things like that. Think about things in your kitty's life that have changed, and see if you can find a connection.
