Cat urine is easily the hardest of the domesticated animal urines to remove. Cats are explorers and will urinate in the most unusual places in your home or apartment.
Regardless of the breed of cat you own Abyssinian, Ashera, American Bobtail, American Curl, American Ringtail, American Shorthair, American Wirehair, Balinese, Bambino, Bengal, Birman, Bombay, British Shorthair, Burmese, Burmilla, Chausie, Chartreux, Cornish Rex, Cymric, Devon Rex, Don Sphynx, Egyptian Mau, Elf, Exotic Shorthair, Havana Brown, Himalayan, Moggie, Japanese Bobtail, Javanese, Kinkalow, Korat, Kurilian Bobtail, Lambkin, LaPerm, Maine Coon, Manx, Miniature, Minskin, Munchkin, Napoleon, Nebelung, Norwegian Forest, Ocicat, Ojos Azules, Oriental Shorthair, Persian, Peterbald, Pixiebob, Ragdoll, RagaMuffin, Russian Blue, Safari, Savannah, Scottish Fold, Selkirk Rex, Serengeti, Serval, Skookum, Sokoke, Siamese, Siberian, Singapura, Snowshoe, Somali, Sphynx, Stray Teacup, Tonkinese, Toyger, Turkish Angora and Turkish Van cat urine is exceptionally strong and pungent.
In the wild you will routinely see tigers urinating on the barks of trees. This is the big cat’s way of marking his territory. It also demonstrates that cat urine is intended to be waterproof. Cat urine in the wild will survive repeated heavy rains and will still be very strong and pungent. Occasionally you will see the big cat return to the same tree and urinate on the same area to freshen up his markings.
This clearly demonstrates that Mother Nature has equipped this beautiful animal with a waterproof territorial marking system that is intended to defy the elements. Also it demonstrates that even if you successfully clean your home of the cat urine the cat is very likely to reoffend in exactly the same areas.
Recent scientific research suggests that all breeds of domestic cats are descendants of the wild cats that inhabit the Middle East. These wild cats are still present today in Israel and Saudi Arabia. The wild cats of the Middle East are the probable descendants of the big cats from Africa. Evidence suggests that cats actually domesticated themselves by climbing in thru the unprotected windows of ancient dwellings.
In addition cats are known to be very temperamental and any abrupt change in their living environment can set off a serious urination attack. A new baby, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband and even new neighbors can result in serious property damage to your home if you are not prepared for it.
Cat urine is easily the toughest of the pet urines that you could face in your home. Even fresh cat urine is very difficult to clean. Removing cat urine off any porous surface is serious business. Cat urine will put any cleaning product to the test.
There are very few cleaning products that have demonstrated any effectiveness with cat urine. For cat urine you should seriously consider a professional quality liquid that is able to penetrate the cat urine and neutralize the strong cat urine odor.
When you find a cat urine cleaning product that is successful in your home or apartment we suggest you keep it on hand in a convenient place so when your cat decides to freshen up his markings you will be ready for the big event.
