I just discovered that my cat urinated on my papasan chair yet again. The last time he did this I threw out the cushion and bought a new one. So why would he pee there again with a brand new cushion? Any suggestions? I tried a hydrogen peroxide mixture but I don't know if it will work.

If you use frabreeze enough the carpet or furniture will get "sticky". When you walk over it in your socks they kind of stick to it. Eventually the smell will come back, also when the miosture is high the smell comes back very strong.

Cat urine is formidable. But baking soda works. Nothing else I have tried is quite as good. That is if I have something that can be put in a washing machine. Whole box of baking soda to a load. Soak overnight.
