Ozone Generator -vs- Cat Urine Spray?

I was hoping to get some advice regarding the effectiveness of a small
Ozone Generator to deal with the smell of Cat Urine Spray indoors.....by
a de-sexed male cat. He is deliberately spraying, not simply taking a
much-needed ****. He is spraying on vertical surfaces.
There is almost nothing I don't know about the "territorial behaviour
issues", prevention, and cleaning. I have spoken to the local Vet in
great detail. I use an arsenal of special cleaners, and a Pheromone
preventative spray. I have also done a great deal of personal
research. Getting rid of the cat is definitely not an option.
Can you comment about Ozone Generators and their effectiveness? Bottom
line: If the Cat spraying is a persistent problem, is a small Ozone
Generator (with thorough cleaning) money well spent?
Thanks.

Having had several male cats it appears to me that your mistake was not
neutering the tom very early on. One of the hazards of early neutering
is problems with bladder crystals. Both my neutered males had such
problems and had to be watched carefully so as to apply the medication
lest they suffer from bladder crystals. One guy was very cooperative.
When he was having an attack he would **** in the bathtub and we could
see the blood in his urine. The other cried to indicate the pain. Sprays
that would drive him from spraying a vertical surface will merely force
him to find a different vertical surface to spray. Good luck, I go with
dogs now. The interem period had an all white demon kitty and a short
hair St. Bernard (the original version of the beast before they were
crossed with Newfoundlands to increase size.)
