This sucks. My cat has decided to mark everything his little heart desires. It appears that last night he went buck wild.

How do I get the smell out?! Carpeting and clothes... everything else I am throwing away. Is there any way to remove the odor and not just mask it?

I need to get him in, hopefully it's not too late for him.

Get him fixed, and I have never found a way to get rid of the odor other than throwing away everything that was sprayed.

He's got an appointment scheduled for next week. Though, she said he may still continue to spray, even after the surgery, since he went with it full force like that.

I can't throw everything out! I can't. I did a search online here a second ago and a lot of people say to use Listerine or rubbing alcohol. I don't want my house to smell like mouthwash, though, I suppose it's better than urine.

DAMNIT! Grrrr... BAD Lester!

This is NOT funny!

I.
Don't.
Like.
You.

How old is he?

We just got a CHICO in December, and he's scheduled for his wack next week.

Already, he wants to get outside any chance he gets.

Revolution said:

About seven months old. I hope you don't have the same problem with Chico before his appointment.

Lester is about to get "wacked" in the kitchen.

u can always harvest your cat's organs...i hear it's becoming big business, just buy a new cat with the proceeds

Hey, 9s. I just read on a website that one way a lady found to prevent her male cat from spraying was to have her husband pee where the cat did, and the cat never went back to spray that spot.

Would you like to make a trip over and pee on my clothes and carpeting?

ArdeoTheMerciless said:

It's heading in that direction.

You can buy commercial pet stain removers at PetCo or PetSmart, some place like that. Usually works very well. Also, if he's spraying in one particular place, you can move his food dish right to that spot. Cat's won't spray wear they eat.

He's spraying everywhere! I am not kidding... the majority of his antics were done in my son's closet. This morning, while I was in the bath, he backed up and sprayed the rug in front of my sink... while I was right there in the room with him! Maybe I should put little bowls of food around everywhere...

Heading to PetCo at noon when I go to get my daughter from school. I just don't want to cover the smell up though, so hopefully they have a good product to remove as much of the odor as possible.

This is why I never get male cats.....

AzureStarr said:

I would like nothing more!



~~Getting prepped~~ --->

Ask suomynona about this... no kidding... he's the cat expert... I'm sure he'll have plenty of food suggestions. I remember he mentioned something on his LJ once about some product he used that worked really well... it's worth a mention!

AzureStarr said:

My cat got pretty sick a few years back and was peeing on furniture and carpet. I ended up having to have her uterus removed. She's good now. But to clean up the mess we borrowed a carpet/upholstery cleaning machine thingy that was just small. I think you can get them for around $30-40. There's a solution specfically for pet stains that worked well in actually cleaning the areas. And it generally deterred kitty from "using" that area again.

CarrieMpls said:

Oooh... I am sorry about your cat. It's good that she's doing well now, though!

Okay... I went to PetCo and I bought "Natures Miracle". It claims to remove all odors, the first time, once the product dries completely, and also claims to deter Lester from hitting that spot again!

*Crosses fingers and off to spray his, ummm... "spray"*

Try Zorb By Dyson it took the smell away for a friend of mines.
Picture bellow is what the packet looks like if thats any help.

Revolution said:

Awwwww...CHICO He's SO sweet...just a loverboy.
I'm going to steal him...mark my words!

I hope the Natures Miracle works Azure. I hear It worked a treat for 2the9s spraying problem.

But isn't that the only kind of pussy you like.....MALE?!?!?!?!

katt said:

If this other stuff doesn't work, I'm making a trip to look for that!

Thanks, Katt...

Lleena said:

Me, too. Well, if it can treat a problem as bad as 9s', then I should have no worries!

Oh crap!!

I wash everything and use a deodorizer and cleaner with an enzyme destroying property, then I spray certain areas with a cat repellent.

You can buy these at pet stores. And yeah, he needs to be fixed.

I'm finding that the odor does not come out of clothing all that well.

ella731 said:

Co-sign. All your smelly troubles will be gone.

Oh Gawd! That is horrible.

I am not a cat lover, I'd have him taken away.. Especially if he sprayed on my kids stuff.

Nasty cat!

AzureStarr said:

This must be a male cat....right? I had this problem before too. He will stop as soon as he gets fixed. But as far as the smell goes.....vinigar and hot water usually does the trick.
There is a spray that you can buy from pet stores that will get rid of the smell as well. I've forgotten what it's called here and it probably has a different name in the US, but that will help as well.

Here in the States it is called man be gone!

Lleena said:

Hey! I missed this!

I don't have a spraying problem!
