how can you stop cats from peeing in the same place and get rid of the smell?

Answer 1

i was told to use citrus smelling products(in particular orange). you can buy a spray that has been specifically made for problems like this, but think you need to have them spayed/neutered

Answer 2

First, assure yourself that there is nothing wrong with the cat by taking it to the vet.

In order to keep the cat from going in the same place you actually have to remove the pee completely. NEVER use ammonia. An enzymatic cleaner is the absolute best. I use "Simple Solution" and follow the directions on the container exactly. It is easy to use, solves the problem and smells fresh, and your house doesn't smell like a pickle.

Allow it to dry (keep kitty in the bathroom while you do this). Then put a litter box where the "accident" was (big covered litter box is best).

If your cats are using one place, chances are they may be using others and it isn't smelly enough for you to notice. If you use a "black light" the places they've used will glow. You might want to blacklight the house occasionally after you've cleaned up after them. Just because you can't smell it, doesn't mean kitty can't. Their sense of smell is much better than ours.

Cats can have accidents, too. For general smellyness I spray a product called X-O (a concentrate you mix with water) which is available online from pet supply places or from cleaning specialty places.

Answer 3

The cat is most likely marking his territory - and it doesn't matter if they've been neutered or not - as mine did the same even though he'd been fixed!!
Sometimes it can be stress - i.e. new housemates moving in ect.
You could try putting a litter tray nearby - see it the cat will use it. And I got this spray called 'OdourFree' - made by Alstoe Animal Health, from my vet. It's expensive but it seems to work better than citrus cleaning products - which usually just mask the smell, whereas this stuff actually neutralises it.

Answer 4

Wash area with a solution of biological washing powder, and then wipe area down with surgical spirt.
The enzymes in the washing powder break down the proteins in the urine and the surgical spirt with kill any bacteria that reain. This means that you and, your cat, will no longer be able to smell the urine.

There has been some recent research into Fabreeze, and it does seem to have similar effects as above, but I have never tried this so not sure if it actually does not or not.

There is very commonly a medical problem behind urination other than in the litter tray and/or outside, so please take your cat to the vets for a check up too.

Answer 5

To get rid of the smell use some disinfectant and a towel. pour down the disinfectantant on the selected place where your cat has peed and once you have done that lay down a towel and stand all over it until all the moisture is out. Then place an airfreshener near by. To stop your cat from going there but a pile of coathangers there or tinfoil as cats hate the noise.
Hope this helps, good luck,

Answer 6

She may have become scared to go outside. Now is the time to litter train her, it's not too late. Put a litter box where she goes most often, if she still goes on the floor pick up the mess and put it in the litter box so she will know what is the right place for this. Clean the floor with urine-b-gone and spray with a spray that will repel her. These products you can buy at a pet store. Also if you don't mind pepper on the floor, sprinkle it on the floor so when she tries to find her spots she will get and unpleasant sniff of pepper. I told my mom to do the same when her cat now 13 years old started to go on the floor instead of the box. She is now using the box again

Answer 7

1. It is imperative to evaluate and rule out a medical cause for the problem. Have your cat checked thoroughly by your veterinarian first.
2. Remove covers from litter boxes.
3. Give the cat a choice of litter types. Cats generally prefer unscented clumping litter with a medium to fine texture.
4. Scoop at least once a day. Once a week, clean the entire box with warm water (no soap) and completely replace litter.
5. Clean “accidents” thoroughly with an enzymatic cleanser designed to neutralize the odor.
6. If the cat is soiling around just a few spots in the home, place litter boxes there. If it is not possible put a box in one of these spots, place the cat’s food bowl, water bowl, bed, and/or toys in the area to discourage elimination.
7. Offer different types of litter in boxes placed side-by-side to allow the cat to demonstrate his preferences for litter type.

Answer 8

final 12 months my pleasing Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and not got here lower back. i admire cats and the domicile did no longer sense the comparable without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre.

Then project not greater...

Answer 9

You need to wash the area with biological washing powder. There is probably a good reason why the cat is peeing in a certain place. Could be stress from a change in the environment? If so, try a feliway diffuser to help with stress

Answer 10

You need to clean the area that they 'go' in thoroughly, I cant tell you what is best to use cos I don't know. But you really have to make sure the area is cleaned well because if the cats can smell any trace of their smell left they WILL go there again.

Answer 11

Hi,
I agree totally with Sophie. However, I would get your pet checked out as I had a problem with my cat marmalade he was weeing alot in the same place and it turned out he had kidney failure. I'm not trying to worry you and I hope that I'm wrong but I'd get him or her checked out just to be safe than sorry. Good luck Matey.
