Cat's Urine in Hiking Boots
Recently I made the mistake of leaving my Asolo hiking boots outside on
the patio overnight and , wouldn't you know it, some stray cat urinated
inside one of them. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of
the odor, including soaking in tomato juice and rinsing with hydrogen
peroxide -- all to no avail. Any suggestions???

I know that my vet sells several products to remove urine smells from
carpet etc.....I don't know if they work....may be worth a try. Kahley

Urinate into the other one, and then they will both smell the same.

Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover works well for
a lot of similar applications, but I can't guarantee
it'll work on your shoes. It should work on the cat
piss but not so certainly on the rest of the odor. :0
Anyway, you can get it at any good pet store.

I know that chlorine will work but can say what it'll do to your boots.

A product called Nature's Miracle should do the trick. It's colorless,
supposed not to harm anything (jeez _don't_ use chlorine, ammonia, & the
like on you hiking boots!). Designed for the express purpose of removing
the odor of cat urine (with enzymes), so that not only can you no longer
smell it, but it will be undetectable to tom-cats who might be attracted &
want to re-spray the item. Available at any pet supply place, & every
veterinarian knows where to buy it.
I haven't tried any of those products hunters use; anybody know offhand
how they work (ie, do they _mask_ odors, or what?)

Never tried this on boots, but there's a product called "OUT Pet Odor
Eliminator for Upholstery and Carpets" which has worked pretty well for me.
Not sure just what's in it, but the label says "contains live beneficial
bacterial cultures", and it does a bang-up job on just about anything that
comes out of a cat. Comes with a money back guarantee, too. Widely
available product--the last bottle I got I found at a supermarket, but I've
also seen it in the pet care sections of department stores, and the
manufacturer is "OUT! International, Inc.", (214) 438-0157.
One caveat--use it _exactly_ the way the label says--otherwise it doesn't
work. I found that out the hard way.

No....you'd have to get the cat to hit the other one to achieve equality
of stench.....;-D

1. Kill cat.
2. Nature's Miracle or similar enzyme cleaner available at most pet
supply stores.
You might want to mix a solution of the cleaner and some water in a
5-gallon bucket and soak the boots for a couple days. The folks at the
pet store should be able to tell you how to maximize the effectiveness
for your application.
Good luck.

After being the victim of an overzealous pet of mine; she sprayed the
inside of my clothes dryer, the only thing that would get the smell out
was chlorine bleach. We tried everything on the market before we used
the .99 cent bleach. For boots I would suggest diluting the bleach and
soaking a rag in it and leaving that rag in the offending boot
overnight. If that doesn't do the trick, may the force be with you.

Here's a method I've heard of but won't vouch for (never had
opportunity to try it): soak the boot for a day in a mixture of strong
red wine with baking soda dissolved in it. Supposedly the soda will pull
out the urine compounds that otherwise stay in the leather, and the wine
helps this and gives a better aroma.
If you try it, tell me how it works (or I could go pee in one of
my boots and try it myself.... ;)

We had teh same problem with one of our kid's boots. Finally ran it through
the washer on gentle cycle. Boot did fine, no smell.
Let it dry out naturally.

Don't leave your boots outside next time!

Soak the cat in bleach, use it to wipe out the boots... I bet it won't
pee in your boots again.

There must be varying degrees of cat urine strength. I have a duffle
that still smells faintly of cat piss after twelve years! For a long
time I tried washing it with everything known to man (and woman). Now it
has become faint enough that mostly only I notice it. It has never
imparted its speciality to my clothes stored within, though.
Good Luck!

After the cat is killed, send it over to rec.climbing, and someone will
make climbing protection out of it. This will in turn immortalize it,
and someone will make a tee-shirt about it.

Errr, I seem to remember the little book, called something like 101
uses for a dead cat-very entertaining! Pencil sharpener, toaster warmer, etc.
:)

I missed the original message, but that was funny. And yes, rec.climbing
people will do that, actually I just may try that, I could use a new

One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it.
My cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked. He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at.
It wasn't until I found "Cat Spraying No More" that I was able to finally get rid of this tiresome behavior.
Now my house doesn't smell like a litter box anymore :)
