Hello everyone, I am a pet product whistleblower who pet cat crazy Schrödinger, I hope that my articles, breaking news and sunbeds can help you make the most valuable consumption decisions.
I often have a friend on duty to ask for help, what to do if the cat is messing urine. This problem is very complicated, because there are many reasons for cats to urinate, including disease, low degree of socialization, excessive pressure, etc., external factors: including sudden changes in the external environment such as moving and decorating, cat toilets are too dirty, cat litter is too little, new members suddenly come to the home, and so on. How to improve and correct the cat's littering behavior we keep next time, today mainly talk about when the cat has left a taste of love in your sheets, sofas, clothes how to remedy, this is the author's actual experience, pro test effective! Friends who have dogs at home can also refer to it.
Don't sell Guanzi first, the answer is to use biological enzyme flavor remover!

Cat and dog double full value friends should have a feeling, cat urine than the taste of dog urine on the head is too much, many people think that because dogs mostly excrete outdoors, so the taste of urine appears smaller. In fact, this is not the case, cat urine is more disturbing is scientifically based.
The culprit - cat uric acid
Biologists have found that the smell of cat urine is so especially because of the unique amino acids in it, this amino acid is called felinine (felinine), cat urine in the cat body when there is no taste, after excreting the body will emit a unique smell, the cat is also the use of this unique smell to mark the territory, courtship and other behaviors. When the urine has just been excreted, the urea in the cat's urine will produce an ammonia-like smell when it comes into contact with the air. Then cat uric acid began to react continuously with the air, and the longer it lasted, the more mellow it became, and finally it was converted into "methanethiol". The taste of methanethiol can refer to the tone of a patient with severe bad breath, as well as the venom attack of the skunk. So it's best to clean up the cat's urine while it's fresh!
The urine of unsciviled male cats is the most "troublesome"
Biologists have also found that the amount of cat uric acid in cat urine is determined by a unique urine protein in cats, cauxin. This particular protein cauxin content is found in mature cats, unselected male cats> castrated male cats > female cats. It has also been found in immature cats, but very rarely. (See A Major Urinary Protein of the Domestic Cat Regulates the Production of Felinine, a Putative Pheromone Precursor) The urine splattered by a male cat in heat can be said to be comparable to a century-old vintage. Because of this, when northeasterners ridicule drunkards, they will say: Drink cat urine again?
So, if you have a male cat, timely sterilization is good for both of you.
As mentioned earlier, the smell in cats' urine affects a series of behaviors such as courtship and marking territory. If a cat doesn't clean up thoroughly after defecating in a place, the place will leave a special mark that belongs to it. It will come to pee once every three to five times to consolidate its mark, and if it happens that there are other cats in your house who may not be convinced, it is not impossible for two cats to pee.
So if you want to solve this problem, you have to completely remove its urine.
The results of the search for pet deodorant that opened Jingdong can be described as dazzling. However, careful differentiation will find that the mainstream pet deodorants are mainly divided into three categories: fragrance deodorants, chemical deodorants and biological enzyme deodorants.
Chemical deodorant: The chemicals in the deodorant react chemically with urea, volatile fatty acids and other components in the pet urine to achieve the effect of deodorization.
Advantages: low price, good deodorization effect.
Disadvantages: can not completely decompose cat urine, for humans deodorization effect is very good, for the smell sensitive kitten is just sprinkled water, you see I pee do not pee your sheets will be finished.
Fragrance deodorant: Can be seen as an air freshener that uses the smell of incense to mask odors in the environment, similar to the way we humans use perfume to mask body odor.
Pros: Low price
Cons: The feeling of self-deception, you will only get a little fragrant and very smelly cat urine and cat, this taste is very abstract.
Biological enzyme deodorant: biological enzyme deodorant adopts the principle of biodegradation, a variety of microorganisms through their own reproduction, can produce microorganisms and enzymes, under the dual action of microorganisms and enzymes, the odor source of organic matter completely decomposed into non-toxic and harmless water and carbon dioxide.
Advantages: It can completely decompose the source of odor in cat urine, cat uric acid and urea, remove the source of odor, and avoid cats from defecating in the same place many times. Pure plant extract, non-toxic and harmless.
Cons: The price is relatively high
Many pet deodorants will add various sterilizing ingredients to the product, and everyone should pay more attention when purchasing.
I have not been exposed to chemical deodorants, and I do not recommend them here, but friends can add them in the comments.
I have bought several models of fragrance-type deodorants, and without exception, they all belong to the trash can.
I have bought 3 types of biological enzyme deodorants, namely Naysays biological enzyme deodorant, repeated deodorant and kojima biological enzyme deodorant.
Nayle Biological Enzyme Deodorant (naturally gone)
This is what I bought for my mother who owns a cat, it cost 70 yuan, but I only dare to quote more than 20 with her, and my mother's feedback is very useful. The reviews on the Internet are also very good, but I personally would not recommend this, because the price is really not high.
ps: When I placed an order for Naysle Bioenzyme Deodorant, its Chinese name was "Negal". But now if you search for Negola, you'll see another bio-enzyme deodorant, and the product detail page also has a statement of packaging upgrades.
But when asked about the customer service of the Tmall flagship store, she said she was not clear. The brands and companies of the two deodorants are also different, so it is speculated that the agent expires, the Negola trademark is preemptively registered, and the name is changed (refer to blue diamonds and platinum diamonds). This is just my guess, everyone pay attention to discernment.
Repeated biological enzyme deodorant
In Jingdong spent 3.9 yuan to buy, a very small bottle, it gave me the deepest impression of only one word: incense. Don't get me wrong, it's incense literally. The product has added too much fragrance, sprayed in the bathroom for half an hour can still smell the smell of the fragrance, I think it is a bit smoky, so I directly abandoned. The deodorization effect is not very clear, if you have any use, you can add it in the comments.
Kojima biological enzyme deodorant
This is my most recommended biological enzyme deodorant, mainly deodorant effect is good, the taste is not pungent, the price is very affordable.
I bought a green tea flavor, participated in the discount offer to use the express version of the 100 yuan living expenses 15-4 coupon after 12 yuan to hand, the current price is also similar, the historical good price is about 7 yuan.
The ingredients are simple, biological enzymes, plant fragrance, purified water
One day the boss of the family urinated on my buckwheat shell pillow (sterilized, no disease in the physical examination, obvious emotional problems, this problem will be left for the next time).
Because it is a pillow with buckwheat shells, it cannot be used after being peed.
At this time, I remembered the kojima deodorant that had been eating ash for a long time, so I decided to experiment with this pillow.
The experimental method is very simple, remove the pillowcase, deodorize with kojima biological enzyme deodorant, and then use my nose to smell if there is cat urine.
The result was very surprising, and I, who was extremely sensitive to odors, only smelled the aroma of green tea, and there was no smell of urine at all.
Of course, this was not enough, I put the deodorant treated pillowcase (unwashed) in the place she often went to see if she would still defecate on it, and as a result, she did not show much interest in the pillowcase for two days.
The use of biological enzyme deodorants is simple.
If it is regular clothing, use deodorant to soak the place where the cat has urine, let it sit for an hour or so, and then carry out routine washing.
If it is a sofa or other item, use deodorant to wet the urine stains on the surface of the object and wait for natural air to dry.
The above is a general situation, and there is an extreme situation corresponding to it.
Some cats are very wild, there are signs everywhere in the house to visit here, although there is usually cleaning, but it feels like there will still be a smell in the house.
In this case, you need a Wood's lamp, turn off the indoor lighting at night and use the Wood's lamp to make the urine stains fluorescent, and you can be targeted at this time.
However, it should be noted that this method is suitable for smoother surfaces, such as floors, walls, tables, etc. If it's a sofa bed single, your nose is more reliable.
For families where cats are not sterilized, biological enzyme deodorants can only help you remove the smell of urine in the environment, but it cannot solve the behavior of cats littering to mark the territory, and only sterilization can fundamentally solve the problem at this time.
