How to Get Rid of a Cat Urine Smell Outside

Cats mark territory or announce that they're ready to mate by emitting a spray of urine on objects. According to Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, cats usually spray on vertical surfaces, like the backs of chairs, or walls. The smell of cat urine, especially when it's hot outdoors, is very strong and quite unbearable. Learning how to remove the awful stench of cat urine outside permanently and effectively is essential if you want to live in a fresh, urine-free environment.
