|  |     I prefer to use Nature's Miracle, but any of the enzyme type products
    should do the trick for you.  The enzyme's eat up the urine, and
    take away the smell.

|  |     First off, you should take your kitty to the vet. (Unless he is a tiny
    kitty who actually can't make it to the litter box).  Missing the litter
    box is often a symptom of a urinary tract infection.  Once they've clobbered
    some place, however, they will revisit it as long as the smell remains.
    There are enzyme-based products (such as Nature's Miracle) that you can
    buy in pet stores that neutralize the odor.  It takes a while to dry
    after treatment (maybe a week if you can't lift the carpet) and it smells
    worse while it is drying that the original urine.

|  |     Mr. Clean will clean the area nicely and leaves behind a rather
    unpleasant (to cats) odor......

|  |     I know this is somewhat off the subject, but does Nature's Miracle also
    work on tummy upset mistakes?  I have a place on my sofa that needs
    something to remove the smell before that kitties eat a hole in my sofa
    :-)

|  |     I use the NM for both types of accidents.  It works.  I am just
    wishing that they sold NM in gallon jugs.  Enough to get me through
    till the seven poo-heads outgrow this stage.

    They are very appropriately named!!  This weekend, I had a kitten
    buyer come over to see the poo-heads.  She is interested in one
    of the seal point males.  Well, we had all seven poo-heads out,
    and we were playing with the kitty tease.  Well, one of them decided
    that even though he had to go to the bathroom, he didn't want to
    miss out on any of the game, so he just stepped back a few paces,
    and TOOK A DUMP ON THE CARPET RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE KITTEN BUYER!!!
    I was mortified!!  I just told her that it was a stage that they
    were going through, and that was why we called them poo-heads. 
    
    I have never been so embarrassed in all my life.

|  |     After the buyer left, my husband and I were roaring with laughter
    about it.  Sometimes, things are so embarrassing that you *have*
    to laugh about it!

| 3255.10 | Outright.  Got from Hadleigh house | WMOIS::H_TAYLOR | Chocolate! A dieter's delight! | Fri Jan 26 1990 12:53 | 8 | 
|  |     Another good product is called "outright".  Has worked wonders on my
    carpet where seasea has had a "problem".  It either comes in a liquid
    format (mix with water) or it comes in a powder that you spread on the
    carpet and then vaccuum.  It has REALLY done a good job on some tough
    odors.

| 3255.11 | How long does this stuff take to work? | TOOK::GEISER |  | Mon Jul 08 1991 12:06 | 20 | 
|  |     I've got a cat who is using one of my carpets as a litter box.  I'm
    not sure which cat it is since I've only seen and smelled the evidence.
    One cat is going to the vet tonight, and I'm trying to be very good
    about changing and keeping the litter clean.  I don't think they are
    using the carpet any more since I've blocked off the room and cleaned
    up my litter habits.
    
    My main task now is to GET THE SMELL OUT!!  I've tried an enzymatic
    product (whose name I forgot) and that seemed to work somewhat.  I've
    treated the rug, pad and underfloor several times.  Right now, the
    smell is so bad, I hate going into the room (and it is worse than the
    urine smell).  How long does this stuff take to work?  I applied it
    4 days ago.  The rug is dry, the pad is a bit damp, and the floor is 
    a bit wet in places.  I have a fan blowing on it to try to speed up
    the drying.  Am I doing the right thing or should I try something else?

|  |     It takes about a week for the enzyme stuff to completely dry and become
    odorless on somehting like a carpet.  It's also possible that the cat
    went some place
    else on the rug that you didn't notice and so haven't treated.
    
    Be sure to mention this problem to your vet so he can check for a
    urinary tract infection.
