Trivia About Cat Urine--5 Curious Facts About It And 3 Solutions For It

Cat urine odor is often one of the most troubling
issues for the 80 million cat lovers in the
United States. Knowing as much as possible
about their urine will help you avoid it when
possible, and be able to effectively deal with
the odor when accidents do happen.

1. It contains ammonia. And breathing these
fumes can cause acute flare-ups for those who
suffer with allergies and asthma.

2. It has a higher acid content than that of
many other animals. This was designed to ward
off predators, and for cats that are still
allowed outdoors to find food, this is a huge
aid in self-defense.

3. It glows under a black light. This happy fact
makes it easier to find the offending spot and
neutralize it.

4. It contains 95% water.

5. Urine contains the protein Fel D1 like dander
and can also cause a skin reaction for those who
are sensitive to it.

So now that you know all of these interesting
facts, you're probably still wondering how
something that is mostly water can literally
cause such a stink, and how you can deal with
the odor effectively. Here are 3 steps to take
to literally clear your air.

Find and Neutralize The Spot---Finding the spot
is sometimes the hardest part. What you can't
see can hurt you and as you are probably now
aware from personal experience, it can smell
really bad. Sometimes the stain is evident, and
sometimes you feel the wet spot under your
feet--Yuk.

If you are having trouble finding it, use your
nose particularly if you think it's on the
furniture or the bed. You can also use number 3
above and shine the black light.

Neutralizing the spot will mean that your cat
will be less likely to come back and repeat the
inappropriate behavior, at least in the same
place. There are all kinds of products on the
market that are designed to remove the odor. One
of the most natural is a solution of white
vinegar as immediately after the accident has
occurred as is possible.

Keep The Litter Box Clean---As discriminating as
we might think our noses are cats have an even
keener sense of smell. So keeping the litter box
absolutely pristine will encourage your feline
friend to go where it's supposed to go when it
feels the urge.

Filter the Air---Even the best odor remover can
sometimes not prevent a faint smell from
continuing to occur especially if there is
moisture introduced to the air. As cat lovers it
is easy for our noses to turn a deaf ear to the
smell because we are around it so much.
Relatives and friends are less likely to ignore
the smell so continually filtering the air is an
effective and low maintenance way to keep the air
smelling fresh.

An effective cleaner will not only need a carbon
filter, but the carbon will need an additive that
is specifically designed to remove the ammonia. A
motor that allows 24 hours cleaning, as well as
various sized filter for the wide range of
particles cats can produce is a good idea as
well.
