How to Get Rid of Cat Spray Urine Odor

It is not uncommon for cats to spray pheromone-filled urine as a way to mark their territory and communicate with other felines. Spaying and neutering cats can reduce their desire to spray their territory, though the pungent odor must be removed to eliminate their desire to spray in areas with their scents. Though the process of eliminating odor of cat spray can be time consuming, it is fairly simple to do.
