if I had it to do over again I would not put a spec of carpet in my house. Mose is very lucky that she and sil have a rent house that has 0 carpet, since they have 3 dogs. Their house is all tile and it looks great.

Rugs are better than carpet for sure.

If I had any control over it we wouldn't have a cat, and it wouldn't have ever been upstairs.

We have two cats and no carpet...just oriental rugs in 4 rooms.

Well, I take that back...we have indoor/outdoor carpet in the garden room but Keoni wants to have it ripped out. I'm leaning toward that myself. Get some nice faux slate vinyl and then get a small oriental rug for the main section.

Back to the cats...thus far, not pee problems, just the occasional regurgitation when one eats too quickly.

And with 2 cats, and me being as OC with them as I am, the litter boxes are scooped out each time they use them...I collect the clumps in a heavy duty ziplock bag each time and we have ZERO cat smell in our house.

People come to visit and suddenly, a cat will stroll by and they are amazed we even HAVE cats...one person even blurted out "I can't believe you have cats...I didn't smell them!" and I just said "You won't."

We had a robot scooper that did a great job... but when it broke the second time I didn't feel like getting it fixed again.

Well, sometimes I fell like a robot scooper!

Try nature's miracle cat urine destroyer...it works really well...but don't be afraid to use enough to soak the carpet....it may take several days to dry, but it really does a great job of eliminating the odor...

Down the road a tad, a fellow has created a "tonka tree". Every little boy's dream come true!

Thoughful... the race for the millinial occluded the fact I did use it. For 2 weeks with much saturation. It did some... even a lot... but it didn't get rid of all of the smell. Luckily, the vinegar wash did seal the deal.
