Ewwww  :sick:

You need one of those black light things that help you identify urine!  Hope you can find it as I don't envy you having to put up with the smell!

Yes i have frontlined and drontaled him !!

I am going to get him "done" next week hopfully, just got to chat to vet about him being kept in the night before and night after.

I just cant find the patch that he has sprayed -
I am not joking the WHOLE house smells of it

Oh well i know it will fade with time lol and the little darling is asleep on the sofa at the moment.

I gotta just say though, i am so proud of my lot.
I have the best 10 cats in the world - they are just so good.
They put up with any old waif and stray that i let in.

I have never had a problem when a new one arrives.
I dont go "by the book" keeping the new one locked away etc
I have always just let the new one out (kept a close eye of course) and let them get on with it

They do identify urine, although I believe different compounds show up as different colours.

This light (combined with a cleaner) is sold at a lot of the cat shows - I saw it at a show on saturday which is why it came to mind.

I bought a handheld UV light when I got the boys, I have no sense of smell whatsoever so unless I trod on a wet patch I wouldn't know if they'd had an 'accident' :shify:

So far, so good - no strange glows from the carpet!  I got mine from ebay for around £6 delivered.

I searched under 'handheld uv', the seller I got it from doesn't have any items listed at the mo...

Hand held note/money checkers are the same thing though, mine is like a strip light bulb and it has a handy torch at the end too.

Sorry for the fact you have a spraying cat Michelle - I have had the odd one, but they have been kept in one room until they are neutered and the smell has disappeared (normally 10-14 days), it is easier to contain in one room with ventilation. Thanks for the link though, I wanted one of those when I had Tom, but couldn't find any on Ebay!!
