cat spray issues...

Here in the U.S. you can buy Urine Gone and a black light is included in the package, Carole. Hopefully, it's available where you are, too.

I bought Urine Gone for the black light. WASTE OF MONEY!!! Every single speck of anything on my rugs showed up. I returned it. I borrowed a black light from my vet. Much better, higher powered, worked like a charm. I sprayed every single spot I could find (I knew it was BAB, aka bad ass Buddy) with Nature's Miracle. After the Nature's Miracle dried, I sprayed it again. It worked!!! Make sure, though if you do get Nature's Miracle, you check the label for dogs or cats. I didn't know till someone pointed it out that there is a special for EITHER cats or dogs.

Good luck, Carole. BAB was peeing to mark his territory, as he was really confused about where he belonged. Once he knew he was staying with me, he stopped. Poor confused BAB. He's now happy and content.

Once you find out WHO was peeing, may I suggest a trip to the vet to rule out a URI?? But you already knew that, silly girl that I am!!!

True, Donna, I had no luck with the "free included" black light bulb, either. I never thought to "borrow" one from my vet! Good tip, that.

i have been reading those black lights are not really any good anyhow, so i guess i will just have to buy carpet spray, clean and clean, yes i am keeping an eye on Lexie especially as i think it was her that sprayed and she is my kitty with Urinary problems, i have not noticed anything at this stage, and she is indoors most of the time, i am hoping it was just because she felt her territory was threatened by Ellie, as we know kitties can be strange at times, seem to have accepted her for ages now up here and then all of a sudden spraying.

Actually Donna until i joined PT i was not aware of UTI in kitties and what to look for , so i have learn't a heck of a lot here, and becoming quite educated on kitties now thanks to you guys.

Thanks for all the suggestions, the smell is still as glorious as ever NOT, ho hum.
