    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.

    Careful kids. Trading the ā€˜cat essenceā€™ for bleach fumes? Kind of like people put three or four scented pine trees on their rear view mirrors to ā€˜hideā€™ cigarette smoking. An unholy mix of both ā€˜essencesā€™ (essencie?) Iā€™m in for moppable floors. Heated moppable floors.

    Well ā€“ Iā€™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 catsā€™ emissions (previously chosen word for urine censored by gocomics) to stinkā€¦

    Works on the litter box (and its regularly cleaned contents), tooā€¦

    Iā€™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, ā€œlet him out for a while so he can mark out there.ā€ I did. He never came back. Fine.

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

    I can say from experience that unless your concrete floor is well sealedā€¦. cat urine smell can penetrate itā€¦ on a shockingly permanent basis.

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

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