As of late, we have been receiving a large number of queries about – and there’s no other way of putting this really – cat pee. Anybody with a cat knows exactly what I’m talking about here and, since almost all our readers own at least one cat, I think no further explanation is required.

Urine problems are common; 1 in 10 cats will develop some kind of difficulty with urinating and I expect 9 in 10 humans will experience some kind of problem with their cat’s urination! The most common complaint from owners is the smell of cat urine – they can’t understand why it’s so pungent! The answer is simple; cats use urine to mark their territory, so the odour has to be strong, long lasting and capable of withstanding the element. For this reason, cats urine has up to twice as much urea in it as most other pets, making it one of the most unpleasant things that can be sprayed around your house.

If you are suffering from cat spraying problems, do see our guides to dealing with the spraying behaviour and cleaning up cat spray. If, however, it is urination problems – be they behavioural or medical – do keep reading the next few posts.
