Quick Tips to Eliminate Cat Urine Smell from Home

Section 1: The Origin of Cat Urine Odor

It's not entirely fair to blame cats for their urine odor. After all, humans typically flush away their urine with water. Imagine if you were to urinate in a toilet without flushing—it would still leave a lingering smell. Cats' urine is primarily composed of urea, urobilin, uric acid, pheromones, and various bacteria. When this urine breaks down in the environment, it emits an ammonialike smell. Over time, it further decomposes into sulfides, which can produce a strong, almost overpowering odor reminiscent of strong acids, foot odors, or even尸臭. This is why cat urine odor can be so potent...

Moreover, cats often don't drink enough water, leading to a high rate of water reabsorption by the kidneys and thus a heavier workload for them. As cats age, their kidney function declines, and the release of testosterone in male cats exacerbates the issue, making the urine odor even more pronounced.

Section 2: Why Is It So Hard to Remove Cat Urine Odor?

Cat urine contains both watersoluble and waterinsoluble components. While substances like urea, urobilin, creatinine, and pheromones can be cleaned with vinegar, baking soda, and common cleaning agents, uric acid in the urine is not watersoluble. When uric acid comes into contact with water molecules in the air, it can continue to release odor for up to 26 years...

This is why many people resort to using air fresheners to mask the smell, but these products do not break down uric acid and can actually cause various odors to mix, creating an even more peculiar scent. Moreover, air fresheners have a limited duration of effectiveness, so they do not provide a permanent solution.

The most effective method is to use an odorneutralizing machine with bioenzyme technology. These machines utilize protein molecules to break down uric acid, allowing the odor to dissipate quickly. I recommend using Puante's odorneutralizing fragrance spray, which not only uses biopeptide technology for longlasting odor decomposition but also extracts plant essences to neutralize odors and release a refreshing aroma. The biopeptides are safe and nontoxic, so even if cats lick them, there is no irritation, and they do not contaminate the environment.

For the urine odor on cats, pet owners can use Phytosan bathing gel to bathe their pets, maintain dry and clean indoor environments, and feed highquality cat food. With these measures, the urine odor on cats will gradually disappear.
