Reason #1 why to have hardwood flooring and not a wall to wall carpet. So much easier to clean and wood does not contain odors that linger especially in miserably hot and humid August.

……….. that smells like my desk already shrug

Been my experience the males mark more?

Careful kids. Trading the ‘cat essence’ for bleach fumes? Kind of like people put three or four scented pine trees on their rear view mirrors to ‘hide’ cigarette smoking. An unholy mix of both ‘essences’ (essencie?) I’m in for moppable floors. Heated moppable floors.

Well – I’m lucky enough to have purchased a few bottles (they do go a looong way!) of active bacteria which kill the bacteria that cause your cats’ emissions (previously chosen word for urine censored by gocomics) to stink…

Works on the litter box (and its regularly cleaned contents), too…

I’ve owned no marking cats, but came close once. Many years ago when I lived by the beach in a town near Santa Barbara I took in a stray. He immediately marked part of my record collection in a rack on the floor. My girlfriend said, “let him out for a while so he can mark out there.” I did. He never came back. Fine.

Eew. Guess we’ve been lucky to never have a cat who marks. Of course we had all neutered/spayed early – I understand that helps with no marking.

Dan to the rescue!….. when he gets home.

I can say from experience that unless your concrete floor is well sealed…. cat urine smell can penetrate it… on a shockingly permanent basis.

My wife and I have this conversation at least once a week.

In the ’50s the concrete block house with concrete floors and drains was a DIY craze.

Let’s hear it for the Poles!

Mew rescue Emerald got the housemate’s office twice and my bedroom twice on the same day. Told him he was on probation until adopted.

We have 5 cats and 3 of these. No odor problems. https://www.litter-robot.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_tTPnc—_AIV9BB9Ch2pXA1cEAAYASAAEgKp9PD_BwE
