Why does my cat’s urine have such an intense stench?
A cat’s urine has that super strong stench because of protein contained in it. When cat urine dries on the carpet it forms crystals and those crystals are the reason for your serious cat urine odor. It’s also why cat odor removal becomes very difficult. When you try and remove the cat urine with a normal cleaner the cleaner just covers up the cat urine smell and you will think that you have removed the spot effectively. But these crystals reactivate their odor in moist conditions and you will find the cat urine smell returning again and again. You need to use a cleaner which can break down the crystals formed by the cat urine to get rid of that intense odor completely.
Another reason for your cat urinating everywhere could be because of an illness or bladder infection. Try to catch your cat in the act and see if they are spraying or urinating normally. Try to see if the cat is showing any signs of pain while urinating, which normally means infection. Blood in the urine is also a sign of a urinary tract infection. If any of these symptoms are obvious, take your cat to the vet.
