After cat is neutered does the urine he leaves in litter box still smell as bad?

Question

he uses his box he is 7-8 months old and does not spray yet, I am going to have him nutered before it starts. Butt, will his urine still smell as bad even after he is nutered? When he uses his box sometime it runs on to his back paw. So when I see him head that way I grab him when he is done & before he can get out and track that smelly stuff onto my carpet and then I use baby wipes on his back paws and wipe his privates so he doesent get it on anything he sits on. Is there a really good cat litter that lets the urine go straight down fast instead of running left or right onto his paws?

Answer 1

no. don't use clumping litter, it stinks. Thomas cat litter is the best we've used it seems to give the best odour elimination and soaks up liquid fast. Although it's not perfect, so i am going to check out the armor hammer stuff thats been mentioned on this page.

The best kitty litter is one that your cat uses and you can deal with. I like cheap scoopable stuff because I don't actually have to empty the whole box but once every month or two, just scoop a couple of times a week. For my foster kittens I use wood pellets since clumping litter can be dangerous if they eat it. These are like Feline Pine or you can buy the wood pellets for wood stoves much cheaper. You actually have to empty the box fairly often though, when all the pellets have turned to sawdust. Other than that you scoop the solid waste ASAP because the pellets have no odor control abilities for the solids :) I buy the cheapest litter trays for my fosters and have no problems. My resident cat is a big dude so I bought him a storage bin. With the "litter boxes" in the pet department he would just back up to the edge and poop over the side. Don't bother with the small litter box, get the large one. Then if you can't scoop twice a day they have room to go again without stepping in the old stuff. Onto food. Yes, Whiskas is bad. It's nutritionally complete but just barely. It's like eating frozen pizza every night. Iams is not much better. Look for something with no corn, wheat, or by-products. Look all the way down the ingredients list. Here are some good brands - Wellness Innova/EVO Taste of the Wild* Blue Buffalo/Wilderness Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul* Natural Balance California Natural Felidae* Orijen * a little cheaper

Hello, male kittens can be neutered as early as 4 months. The sooner the better as for the marking things problem, which is tied into their ancestors. I would get him neutered immediately. As for his urine already smelling strongly, I would take him to the vet first to see if he may have an kidney infection/ or other urinary problem because of the leaking. Antibiotics from the vet if not serious. His urine after a amount of time from the neutering should be fine. But sounds like he may need medical before the neutering. Feline Pine is a very good product for odor absorption. My 20 year old cat passed away about a year ago, his urine was very strong because of his age and kidney problems. It will also help with the smell of feces. The company has a program buy 10-save UPC scan codes and get a bag free. GOD BLESS YOU! [e-mail]

Even though the smell reduces at certain cases it’s never totally gone. However in order to reduce the smell on your litter box, make sure your box is big enough for the cat's size and he can comfortably turn or stand there. Also, I personally have discovered that more thick the litter clay on the box the less odor it spreads because the cat has enough litter to cover his urines. So I suggest have your litters at least 3 inch deep on the litter box so the cat can have enough to cover up his (you know what). Also clean the litter box few times a day eliminates the odor. I use those scoop-able litters and arm and hammer baking soda odor control. I can honestly say our house is almost litter odor free after we started following this method.

After neutering it can take 30-60 days for the smell of the urine to die down some but it will fade. There are no guarantees as to how much but it will. Urine is urine and stinks anyway but neutering does help a bit. As for the litter, a good clumping litter works wonders. Tidy Cats is really good at immediately clumping upon wetness coming in contact with it. You should try that. Good luck!

You sound like a very good cat parent! It will still smell the same but chances are he will not spray your house which is a very good thing! My orange tabby stopped spraying (thank God) when I got him fixed cause the vet told me in all the years he had been practicing (about 30) Bob has the strongest smelling urine of any cat he had come across. I know my cat is special but that is one thing I do not want him to excel in! LOL
There may be a more porous litter but I do not know if there is one that will keep it off his paws.

Answer 7

there are many products out there to assist you and provide you with a litter for your cat he will use to your needs. Cat elimination is always smelly and by having your cat nurtured, you avoided the urine all over your house in a "marking" territory manner. All animals have to eliminate their waste and it stinks. Litter box training and using the correct large size box with sand that will not be of a smell to you or your residence, is the best way to solve the problem. Their is litter sand that are chloroform pellets.

Yes, I have a male kitten (already nutered) and his urine smells like ammonia with a hint of spray in it. It is so horrible b/c you can just wash the litter box or scoop it out and it smells just as bad, so i finally called the vet and they said to but armor hammer in it b/c it will neutrilize the odors and believe it or not it actually works. Well good luck with your kitten...

It will take a month or so for the urine smell to mellow out after surgery. That is how long it takes for the testosterone to get out of his system I have been told... I would say clumping litter would be the best just because it will absorb quickly and if he does get any outside the litter you can at least see it and it it clumped...hope this helps.

Answer 10

For that cat getting neutered doesn't have anything to do with the smell of his urine. He might need a bigger litter box, he might not have enough room to do his duty.
