Great news-we were able to sleep last night! The smell has already dissipated (knock on wood). Maybe he just had some squirts of really stinky stuff to get out. We can only hope. I spent yesterday monitoring candles all over the house, baking cookies, chili, anything to mask the smell! I found

That's good news Melissa. As far as I'm concerned, no good news is trivial, we need as much of it as we can get! There is nothing like the pungent aroma of intact Tom cat! Before I could my FIV boy Starman neutered, I had to take him back and forth to a long-distant vet several times. He was

Cassidy, my new FeLV+, has very aromatic pee! I had to use clay litter because he didn't understand the crystals, but even so, I think when I get him switched to crystals, it will still be unbearable. Baking soda does not cover this smell. He's been neutered, and he's not marking, it's just out of

Thanks Nina! Cassidy is about one year old and he just got neutered last week-so I assume it will be a while before the smell dies down. My husband is not a happy man today since he didn't get much sleep last night what with our baby Smokey running around all night and bringing all kinds of

You know Melissa, you got me thinking when you mentioned Cassidy staring out the window like that. I wonder if there is a cat coming around that he can see out the window. Is he hitting the litterbox, or is he spraying the walls with his perfume? One of my sister's friends was threatening to

Nina, no cat wandering around that I could see, but there very well could be. But, his piddles are always in the litter box. At first he used the carpet until I switched to clay. Luckily I caught that right away. Now, he's goes very nicely in the box-which is very large. I always buy those storage

He may be dehydrated, which will make the urine more concentrated. Feeding better (no corn or by-products) food will also help with the smell, but it will take at least a week to smell any difference if it's food related. Phaewryn http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Special Needs Cat Resources
