subject:"OT Help, I am so embarrassed"

She was actually pretty nice about it, and said she wanted to tell me before anyone else did, and said you smell funny and I think it is the litterbox.

If I smell *anything* it is a hint of white vinegar.  I asked my supervisor if I smelled and he said he didnt' smell anything, but he has a stuffed up nose.  

My best friend is not here today so I can't ask her.

Well, damn, Kelley, what a predicament.  And how 
hurtful!
 
Okay, was this the same person who called you in the other 
day?  Was this somebody who knew, or should have known, that you had been 
called in last week for the same complaint?  Did he/she PERSONALLY say you 
smelled, or was it a "people are saying" kind of thing?  Did they say you 
specifically smell today, or could it be a carryover from last week 
somehow?  I know you've already wracked your brain about this, but is there 
anything you were wearing/carrying that might have gotten spritzed without you 
noticing, either now or previously?  Could the combined essences of 
vinegar, detergent and oxyclean possibly be taken as ammonia-like when warmed 
with body heat?  Because I'm thinking, if people know you have cats and 
smell ANYTHING that's not Chanel No. 5 in your vicinity, be it Mr. Clean, Lemon 
Scented Pledge or smelly feet, they're more prone to INTERPRET it as cat odor 
because they're predisposed.  
 
You have my sympathies.  I know this would drive me 
nuts.  BTW, I'd suggest keeping some sort of written record on this -- what 
was said, by whom, and when, what you have done to remedy the problem, what the 
result is, etc.  I'd hate to think somebody was out to get you, but it 
would be good to have some sort of documentation on your end.  Is there 
somebody, a friend you can trust to be brutally honest, you can have smell your 
clothing (somewhere away from all litterboxes, with *you* standing at a 
distance) and tell you if it smells?  If so, write down what they say as 
well.  
 
If there *is* a litterbox smell on your clothes, I'm not

I don't know, I am going to run a black light over them when I get home.  Which I should have done already, but I was in a hurry this morning, the giardia has cropped up again and I had some "stuff" to clean up.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

Well, someone just called me in to the conference room and said I smelled like a litter box.  I pulled this dress out of the washer this morning.  It was washed in 1 cup white vinegar plus detergent plus oxyclean.  There is no way it was peed on unless the cats got in the washer and peed on it.  I don't know what to do.

dear Kelley:

What dosage per pound do you medicate?  Is Panacur ok
to use on kittens?  I have never used it before.  I
have always use Flagy instead.

Thanks!

Him.  Has not been checked for nerve issues, only the skin allergies.  Pooping is a big production for Ember.  He scratches at whatever is nearby -- I hear it from the other room and grab bleach sheets or paper towels or whatever 'cause I know what's coming.  So it's a pretty safe bet he knows he's getting ready to poop.  tamara stickler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Sounds like Ember may have a nerve problem in the ol' endzone.  Ever have her checked for sensitivity back thereshe might not even feel it when she has to poop?     Just a thoughtSusan Hoffman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Ember -- my depo-medrol boy with

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

I'm working on it.  She is such a sweet little cat, and was such a hard luck kitty when she showed up on my porch skinny as a rail, immensely pregnant, and MAYBE 10 months old at best.  I have never seen a cat with no comprehension of a litter box.  I don't understand.  So, yeah, trainingthis isn't retaliatory pooping or uncontrollable squirtsshe just seems not to understand.  She is such a nice cat that I think, once I get it across to her that I would really appreciate it if she would poop in the box, I'm sure she will go along with it for my sake.  She's such a nice little girl.     What is even more puzzling is that Sylvia, possibly Hannah's sister or cousin -- another bowlegged, sway-backed, tabby/white, under-a-year, hugely pregnant and very hungry girl from the same location has no litterbox issues.  But Hannah does.  This is a first for me.  We just keep picking up the poop and

Urine soaks into the grout BETWEEN the 
tiles, that's why you're having so many problems. Try drenching the entire floor 
with vinegar, and letting it sit for a good long time before mopping it 
up.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

People tell me that my house has NO cat odor.  I am always surprised and relieved.  My house can't stink because I do adoptions (of carefully pre-screened potential adopters) at my home.  My house is cleaner now than when I had just my own 4 personal cats when I first moved here.  As best that I can determine, here's what works:     1.  We scoop litterboxes twice a day and ALWAYS before someone comes to visit, and we use scoopable litter.  2.  I have Chlorox bleach sheets in every room so that I can get them quick for cleanups.  3.  When I scrub floors I use A-33 which deodorizes and disinfects.  4.  I am not above spritzing citrus air freshners around before I answer the door.  5.  My vaccuum is one of those wet/dry shop vacs with a 5 hp  motor -- the kind generally associated with construction sites.  That baby could suck up the entire
 contents of a litterbox without even burping.  (It has eaten a few of the cats' toys but no kittens have turned up missing.)  6.  I do A LOT of laundry, and will add bleach to almost any load.     This is all with wall to wall carpeting.  We are right now in the process of replacing the carpeting with wood laminate.  I  can hardly wait.  Right now I spend way too much time cleaning.  The laminate will be so much easier.    Evan & Dee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  I like that idea !!Nina wrote: I know it's not funny, but I'm laughing at the thought that we've found one more thing we all share in common:WE

2006-11-10 Thread Rosenfeldt, Diane




Oh dear.  Have you physically put her in the box and 
"helped" her scratch the litter with her paw, like they tell you to do with 
kittens?  I guess it doesn't always come naturally.
 
Our sweet Doyle, no other health issues, is a big fraidy 
cat.  He's low on the pecking order, so is intimidated by all the 
others.  Even my mild-mannered Luc has terrorized him from time to 
time.  Doyle has taken to staying on the kitchen windowsill or on the 
adjoining counter ALL the time.  We don't know how he eats but he obviously 
does.  Now he's started pooping and peeing on the floor right below the 
window, he's too scared to zoom across the kitchen to the 2 other boxes in 
adjoining rooms.  Tonight we're going to fix up a litterbox under the 
kitchen table, which is used mainly to keep the Fritos off the floor 
anyway.  Don't like the idea of a litterbox right in the kitchen, but the 
pee and poop is hardly less sanitary... We've been carrying Doyle into the 
living room for a little while every night, and he'll sit quietly for a bit, but 
we have to make sure to carry him back to the kitchen, because every time he 
tries to make his own way, Tribble ambushes him.  Tribble has no claws, and 
Doyle does, but apparently neither of them realize this.

Ember -- my depo-medrol boy with chronic skin allergies -- will pee in the

we have several boxes).  This was wearing on meuntil Hannah 
arrived.  A sweet little former momcat who will poop wherever she

cat.  No one picks on her.  We have 6 boxes in 3 different parts of 
the house, scooped twice daily.  She hasn't a vindictive or nasty bone in 
her body.  She was spayed months ago so it isn't hormonal.  It's like 
she just doesn't understand the litterbox.  (Any 
thoughts/suggestions?  She is FIV+ but I don't think that has anything to 
do with it.)  I'm thinking about confining her to a codo cage at night and

cat pee.  My name would officially become "CAT PEE WOMAN"they would 
change my name plate on my door LOL  I would hear cat pee jokes for the 
next 3 months...whether I had a trace of cat pee or not ;-)   You 
can't have a thin skin where I work.  One of us had to get his two front

Why 
do I suddenly feel EXHAUSTED?    ;-)
 
 The trouble is, once people know you have cats, any little 
accidental infraction will brand you the smelly cat lady.  This goes to 
what Beth said about the power of suggestion.  There was a woman who rode 
my bus (45 minute each way commute) who told me in an email that my backpack 
reeked of cat pee.  I didn't smell it at ALL, and I really got my face down 
in there, but I threw it in the washer anyway.  Thing is, this woman hated 
me as a matter of course, and knew that I had more cats than *she* thought 
appropriate.  So I can't be sure if there was something she 
really smelled that I didn't, if she was making it up, or if maybe *once* I 
wore something that had a smell and she made one of her usual sweeping 
generalizations.  
 
A 
digression:  This woman, Lisa, irrationally disliked me because she 
was a big loud know-it-all, and felt threatened because I know as much or more 
than she did about some things!  Not even about all things, just some 
things.  She kept accusing me of getting our "perfect" regular driver 
in trouble -- which I didn't even do.   Once, he left early 
and missed 2 of us on the route, and the other missed lady apparently called to 
complain and he had to come all the way back.  Lisa accused me of the 
complaint call and when I told her it wasn't me and must have been the 
other lady, she replied "Well, you may not have, but if she hadn't, you would 
have!" Huh?  End of digression. ;-)

  Yep, I've been there. The key is to 
  add a FULL CUP of white vinegar to every wash load in addition to anything 
  else you use to clean it (the detergent, bleach, oxyclean, etc). And clean the 
  house with vinegar too, it neutralizes the cat urine smell (and ammonia). On 
  the upholstery (like the sofa) use the Resolve Carpet Foam or the Armor-All 
  Car Foam Upholstery cleaner, spay it on thick, then brush it in with a brush, 
  then scrub with a dry towel, flip towel, scrub more, keep using more towels 
  until it comes up wet but not colored on a white towel. You may have to spray 
  more foam, and use up to 3 towels on one sofa arm. On carpets, if you can find 
  the exact spot, if it's still wet, take a folded towel, and put it over the 
  spot, and step on the towel, flip to a dry side, and step down on it hard, 
  once it comes up dry, then pour white vinegar on the spot (use the same amount 
  as the cat would pee generally speaking), and then repeat your blotting 
  process with clean towels until THAT comes up dry. Let it dry, then use the 
  resolve carpet SPRAY on the spot, scrubbing with a towel to get it into the 
  carpet pad (it takes a LOT of spray). Then blot THAT til the towel comes up 
  dry. As for the bedroom, always tuck you bedspread, sheets, blankets, etc up 
  ON TOP of the mattress, never let them hang down over the sides of the bed, 
  that's PRIME spraying territory, and you'll definitely smell like cat pee if 
  you sleep under sprayed covers. Or shower in the morning AFTER you get all the 
  house chores done, and right before you head out the door. Keep one of those 
  odor absorber tubs in your closet, and always keep the door shut. If you ever 
  see a cat in it, be sure you get down on the floor and smell for new pee 
  puddles on the closet floor and spray on your longer clothing. If you have 
  forced central heat or AC, put the bounce dryer sheets with a touch of 
  febreeze in all your vents, that stuff is strong (don't do it in the 
  bedroom, you wont be able to sleep because of the perfume). Go through the 
  house and spray all curtains, shower curtains, beds, sofas, chairs, etc with 
  febreeze daily. Use the arm and hammer carpet powder if you have carpeted 
  floors with you vacuum. Once every month, wash ALL walls that are washable 
  (painted, paneling, or glossy paper can all be washed usually). Clean hard 
  floors in a 3 step process, first, use 1/2 a gallon of white vinegar mixed 
  with 1/2 a gallon of HOT water, mop all floors getting them soaking wet. Then, 
  make bleach water, 2 cups of bleach to 1 gallon of hot water,  mop floors 
  again, changing water as soon as you cannot see the bottom of the bucket.

Thirty some years ago a skunk let loose under our house. The whole house
reeked and I was home from college but had to get away until it aired
out. Anyway, my mom was a teacher then and went to school apparently the
smell had permeated her purse. Talk about embarrassing...yep she stunk!

thing in your car and spray yourself down when you get into the car or
before you walk into the building.  It'll help.
 
Also, to some people, certain fragrances can registar as having a cat pee

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

2006-11-09 Thread Gary Murphy




OK, ya wanna know what embarrassing is?  Try going out to a nice dinner, wait staff reaching over your shoulder constantly to serve the food, fill the water glasses, clear the plates, and only notice when you are leaving that your parrot had pooped on your shoulder.  Sadly, this has happened to me more than once...
 
I haven't used Odo-Ban for urine odors, but it did an incredible job getting spilled gasoline smell out of car trunk carpet.  
 
Another thought, people are so easily influenced by the power of suggestion, if they know you have cats their brains might tell them "cat urine" when it is actually another odor.  For some reason my neighbor's pine trees on a foggy day smell just like cat pee to me, even back when I had no cats.  I would smell it, then become convinced that some beastie must have found a way into my crawl space and gone potty.  Hubby finally made the connection to the trees...
 
Good luck,
Beth

I had mold in one of the homes I lived in and all of my clothes 
smelled moldy and I had no clue until someone told me (every once in a 
while I would smell something but wasn't sure what it was or where it 
was coming from).  Couldn't move right away so had to wash all my 
clothes in perfume, this is where the dollar store and cheap perfume 
came in handy.  It sure smelled better than mold.

  Cat urine is pretty strong, I could see where you may not notice it 
in the house because you get used to it if you smell it all the time, 
but once you're outside I don't think you could miss it.  I can smell 
walking by bushes kitties use.  Is your sense of smell good?  Possibly 
on your purse as mentioned.

Sorry if I've offended anyone...wasn't my intention..AND, I'm certain I've carried an awful aroma to work a time or two myselfcan't tell you how many times I've toed cat-hack while putting on dress shoes in the morning...Coebeio likes to hide it in the toes of my shoes...then didn't have time to change stockings (or stockings to
change into) and just wiped everything without throughly CLEANING everything because I was running late. Stinkyfeet takes on a whole new meaning. Hang in there.

RE: OT Help, I am so embarrassed




Oh, it's absolutely logical.  We live with 5 cats, and 
there's one litterbox that gets used more than others in the back hall.  
When I get home I get whacked with pee smell because the landing it's on is at 
nose level when you come in the door.  Makes me worry that the rest of the 
place smells that bad and we just don't notice.  And the thing about 
smokers is absolutely true.  They seldom know that they reek.

Re: OT Help, I am so embarrassed

Well, they didn't come to me.  They went to my supervisor.  So I don't even know for sure who it is.  I did ask one of my friends at work and he said he had a bad sense of smell and didn't know what cat urine smelled like.  I told him ammonia and he said he had never smelled that either?!?  Then he said that he had never smelled anything bad coming from my direction.

This once happened to me, I forget if it was a bra or an 
article of clothing, and in my usual morning rush I got all the way to work (30 
miles away) before I noticed it. Believe me, after that it was ALL I 
noticed, and I tried to keep a distance from everybody.

It's possible if body heat or a warm office is kicking in after you've 
gotten dressed in the morning.  I try to keep my clothes in the 
(barricaded) closet or in drawers.  If I leave something on a chair or on 
the floor, I know I'm asking for trouble.  And I ALWAYS smell whatever I'm 
about to put on.
 
My high point was when I put on my bra one morning and noticed that it felt 
cold.  Then the realization slowly sank in.  It wasn't cold, it was 
WET. Trixie peed on it.  I was wearing a bra with Trixie piss on 
it!

I know that it's very hard to get the smell completely out.  Maybe with an enzymatic cleaner especially  made for cat urine?  My cat Tigger doesn't like (or likes?) rugs on the bathroom floor.  He pees on them.  I have tried cleaning them with regular detergent, but it still doesn't completely remove the odor.  I end up throwing them away and have given up on rugs on the bathroom floor.     I liken the problem of noticing the odor to cigarette smoke in clothes.  My mom doesn't notice her clothes smell like it; but I do, as I don't smoke and she does.     Gina  Susan Loesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Yes, you could -- and I know

Kelly,

I haven't used Oxyclean for urine removal, so I can't say one way or the
other, but my favorite cleaner which can be used on laundry too (as a
pre-treatment) is Simple Solution Cat Spray and Urine Remover.
Drs Foster & Smith have it on their website at:

sometimes we can get used to odors and not even notice them, so it's possible.
 
oxyclean is good stuff, but you HAVE TO USE ENZYME cleaners!
 
This stuff works amazingly well; it's my benchmark for all enzyme cleaners.  One of my vets used it to clean a suitcase that an INTACT MALE cat sprayed.  No odor left at all.
