I don't have an answer for you, but I have two suggestions. They say a black light will show cat urine. And if you don't get a good answer here, you might post your question on the pets forum.

Hi,

This may sound like a commercial, but there is something called D-Molish Now. It's an enzymatic cleaner that destroys all types of organic wastes and the smells that go along with them. It's very effective against cat urine, one of the hardest to get out. It is true that a black light will show the urine spots, just like on CSI. It shows all kinds of bodily fluids, so that is a measure of how much you've gotten out. It sounds like it probably didn't get wet enough to soak into the padding, which is usually where it is hardest to get the smell out. I hope this helps you. I'm sorry your kitty is sick. Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

Grandmamaloy, have you used D-molish yourself on urine?

I have a blacklight especially for detecting urine because I can't smell. It isn't a reliable method. I've never seen wet urine fluoresce at all, and only maybe 50% of dry urine spots fluoresce. I imagine it has something to do with what minerals the animal passes in its urine, and how concentrated the urine is. Neither of these spots fluoresce, but I don't THINK either has dried since it happened.

I've had a few cat accidents myself. I've always used the enzymatic cleaner from walmart- no particular brand, just whatever they have in the pet aisle at the time. It's always worked for me. I once had a cat pee on a fleece shirt, and I could never get the smell out, and had to toss it. I washed it several times but it never stopped smelling. This was before I knew about enzyme cleaners. While it is true that it can be hard to get out of carpet- as long as you attend to it promptly, with enzymes, and we're only talking about a couple of small areas- I think you will be fine, honestly. Especially since the urine was so dilute. By the way I am so sorry about your kitty.

We had brand new carpet installed several years ago. Within a month, my cat got sick and urinated on the carpet. We thought we'd have to rip it all up and replace it, it was that bad. When I took the cat to the vet, I asked about the carpet. She gave me a can of spray, I think it was called The Equalizer or something similar. Used a black light to find the spots that needed spraying. I sprayed them and it completely removed the smell. I've never seen this product in stores, but I am sure a vet would have something that will take care of it. I am sorry your kitty too, they are members of the family and seeing them sick is heartbreaking. I lost one to cancer in Aug and I still miss her terribly.

angie that reminds me of my trip to Africa. A young man on the trip was walking behind a tame rhino when it urinated backwards, the boy was soaked with it. One of the zoo keepers on the trip with us said toss it, you will never get the smell out. The kid was a bit embarrassed. Can you imagine an animal that big urinating you a person, it would be like a shower of pee. Yuck

Emma thankfully I wasn't wearing the shirt at the time! The cat was mad at me. It was my favorite fleece, too. A rhino??? I cannot imagine!

I bred and showed dogs for years and the best I've ever found for urine in carpet is Nature's Miracle. It's very popular and for good reason. Most pet stores carry it. It's got enzymes in it that eat the urine, so I've heard. It works, and that's what matters.

Yes, Natures Miracle is good stuff and its available everywhere.
