My ancient male cat, 20+ lbs, for the first time in 15+ years, decided
to whiz in a corner of a carpeted room. After I drop kicked him out
into the back yard (just kidding) I researched this and purchased a
gallon of Natures Miracle Advanced Cat Urine Stain and Odor Remover.

I lifted the rug and soaked it, the foam padding, the floor and even
removed the nail strips leading into the corner. After letting soak
for a day I've had a fan blowing into the area (with the rug lifted up
and a 2nd fan blowing out an open window just above the area.
That's been going now for three days and there's still some lingering
aroma.

At this point I'm ready to rip out the carpeting and pad and have the
floors refinished but that unfortunately is more than my budget will
allow. So, I am hoping that some of you readers may have experienced
this situation before and have some fool proof (I'm the fool)
techniques to eliminate the odor.

As I sit here holding my nose, I will appreciate any advice provided
(short of shooting the cat).

Thanks


You got advice on the carpet aspect. As far as the cat, long ago I had
the same thing happen. Perfectly clean cat for over a decade. In males
(mine was fixed), it is often caused by crystals in their urine/bladder
or other infection. You see, we can't understand much of their complex
extended vocabulary of movements. They have to whack us with a 2x4 to get
our attention. A urine sample to the vet for starters. If that produces
no info then probably a blood test.
