The smell of cat urine is so pungent that people can't go into the toilet. What's going on here?

The irritating smell that users may smell may be ammonia. The nitrogen content in protein is relatively high in the diet and complementary food that animals usually eat. Nitrogen is the product of protein and amino acids, and exists in feces and urine. Some nitrogen-containing compounds are converted from the liver to urea and excreted from the urine through the kidney. After urea excretion and decomposition, it produces pungent ammonia smell, and some dogs are converted into uric acid because of the deletion of invertase gene in urea cycle.

Precautions:

1. Newly trained cat: Don't scold or punish the cat loudly because it urinates in the wrong place. Instead, move the cat to the litter box quickly. Insist on taking him to the litter box, and give him positive feedback whenever you pee in the litter box. Strengthen the positive association of cats urinating in the litter box and encourage positive behavior.

2. Change the cat litter frequently. Just as humans like clean toilets, cats like clean cat litter. If the user ignores the cat's needs and does not prepare clean cat litter, the cat may prefer to pee on the sofa or carpet. Put the litter box in a quiet corner away from the cat's eating place. This can improve the chances of cats using litter boxes correctly.

3. Consider castrating the cat. After the cat is sterilized, it will not deliberately pee on the marked parts, and the user can solve the problem from the source. In addition, cats don't have a litter of kittens, and users don't have to worry about training cats to urinate.
