I have been using Fizzion for the last 6 months but my 2 cats keep going back to the same spot and peeing on my hardwood floors not on my carpeted areas just the wood floor. Not everyday but often enough to aggravate me Help!!

Fizzion absolutely does work to remove the pee smell. Perhaps the pee got between the boards and they are still smelling it? I soak the area and wipe it down, then soak it again and let it stand for a while. It might smell worse for a bit, but when it's dry the smell is gone. We have some naughty boys who also like to pee on a few fav. places. Fizzion doesn't say it will stop them from peeing, it says it will clean it up. Dogs pee once and they are done, a cat will remark a spot to be sure other cats know it's "theirs". Very irritating for sure! But all we can do is clean it up and get rid of the stink.

I've never had a problem with this product not doing it's job. The issue with carpets is you have to saturate the carpet pad underneath. I use one of those turkey basting/injector syringe with large bore needle at cooking stores to inject or get to the carpet pad underneath. It works nicely to ensure the pad gets the Fizzion as well as the actual carpet. I also use a wet dry vac once I saturate the carpet and then blot to clean. If it's too wet I use the wet dry vac to duck the excess moisture or solution and urine. I put a towel over it and let it air dry after that. I use a black light to ensure the urine is gone.

Hardwood floors are tough. The urine probably seeped between the boards. The other issue is having the water sit on the hardwood any lenght of time could harm the finish. I would try several shorter applications followed by fresh floor wax to seal up the cracks. I just haven't found anything else that actually kills the oder like fizzion, but the key is to keep it in contact with the oder area as long as possible. I also don't mix it with quite as much water as they recommend. Hope this helps.

Not sure. I used another product that worked great until I shampooed the carpet and then it came back. The cats have won the battle- I wound up conceding and placing a box where they were peeing- now everyone's happy.

Hey Michael, I had this exact problem with my cat. He was peeing on my couch, bed, rugs, etc. He has had some slip ups since I got this litter box, but they are significantly reduced. Having this one plus my old regular litter box (which I try to shovel out every time I notice he's used it) seem to work pretty well. He seems to pee outside of the litter box most when I'm not doing as good of a job cleaning out the original box. Hope this helps! It's been really helpful for me.

I got this new litter box 2 months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I was reading a lot of reviews of the cat litter you mentioned earlier though, and I suspect that may be the cause of your cat's problem. It is recommended that when switching cat litters you do it gradually, starting with a mix of 1/3 World's Best and 2/3 your regular cat litter, and from there up the ratio of World's Best over a period of a few weeks. I'd suggest you try emptying out the new litter and mixing it as the manufacturer outlines--see if that solves the issue. Good luck.

First, shake it outside until no more litter falls out... (hang it and beat it with a broom) ...if you're using clumping litter you'll have a real headache when you go to hose it off. I tried all sorts of odor neutralizing products, but nothing worked and my cats started to prefer the mat to the box. When I trashed the mat, nobody peed outside the box anymore. I picked up a few carpet remnants and they worked equally well... at $1 each it wasn't a burden to replace them if an accident happened.

I have a cat to peed on both front and back doors cause cats were out side. I just kept spraying it t both doors inside and out like 3 times a week. The first time i used it, i soaked the area with the fizzion and stepped on it with old towels to remove as much as i could. I bought two sets of this stuff and we don't have a problem with Cheyenne an ymore

I have the same issue with one of my furr-babies!!! This has definitely cut back on the amount of pee on my floors and walls but I still think the walls could be about 1-2 inches taller b/c I'm still having occasional instances. IF only they'd make that extra initiative and SQUATT?!!

Honestly, I've tried all sorts of bitter apple and anti-scratch sprays for my couch and my plants but nothing has worked. This specific product does not spray, it's a stick with a sponge on it so it wouldn't be good for the carpet. You might want to try bitter apple spray. You can try keeping a scratching post near the areas they like to scratch, and keep cat nip on the post. You can buy a spray cat nip that works very well and spray it on the post. You can also try a scratching "pad" that looks like a piece of carpet, put that on top of the area they keep scratching, and put cat nip on it. I also use a clear double sided tape to protect the arms of my couches and it works very well. I just have to remove the tape when I have company. The problem with cats is that once they "mark" and area with their pheromones it seems to be hard to get them to stop going back to that area. Lastly, you should get those cardboard cat scratchers, my cats love them. Again, you can put cat nip on it to get them attracted to it. Scratching is actually required for a cat to be healthy, you just have to find other things for him to scratch. You should try all the options I've mentioned to find out what your cat(s) like best. I have a brand new house with all new furniture and don't believe in declawing so we have been trying everything. Each of my cats likes something different. Good Luck!!

You are quite welcome. One other possibility that I forgot to note(apologies if you already are aware, not intended as an insult to your intelligence) is that cats who get urinary tract infections will repeatedly urinate outside the litter box. If that is what's happening, the vet can give clavimox antibiotic to treat it. Recurring UTIs may be caused by urinary stones, and a special diet(Royal Canin feline S/O) will treat that stone issue. If kidney dysfunction(usually cat is>=10 years old) is the issue, the food(dry or canned) Hill's k/d and plenty of water access should help. That's likely more than you ever needed to know.

I got a GrippMat from a local pet store. It has a small lip and grips to prevent movement. My cat doesn't make too much of a mess with the water is it works great with that plus we have hardwood floors to worry about.

I have had leather furniture ruined by cat urine. The urine runs off the leather into the fabric cushion components between the seat and back of the chair/sofa. I don't think it stays on the leather per se, but because it soaks into a place that is hard to reach, it is very hard to treat. You could spray the furniture, as the cat has sprayed/peed, so the Fizzion goes into the same place, but what happened to me was the liquid loosened the glue that holds the leather to the cushion components, and the hides began to lift off of the fill. I believe Fizzion will kill cat urine odor anywhere it can reach and soak in for a few hours. I only buy "throw away" furniture, and recently replaced 7 yo leather furniture with more. To protect this furniture, I stuff rolled up hand towels down into the crease between the seat and back, and bought multiple changes of furniture covers for it (from Amazon, of course). While some peeing does occur, it is not as often, and after many months, the furniture beneath is still like new. Albeit we aren't actually sitting on leather, but once the cat pee gets into the cushions I think it is near impossible to get it out because the Fizzion can't reach it all, and even if it does, the leather may separate from the fill. My furniture that was ruined was before I found Fizzion, and if I had it then, perhaps I wouldn't have had to soak it so often, and it would have lasted longer. Fizzion is the very best product to remove cat urine I have ever found, in years of having cats and searching for urine removal products. Hope this helps.

No. Fizzion is an ion charged cleaner. It is for removing pet stains from carpet, walls, fabric, etc. You CANNOT drink it. And by the way it is AMAZING. If used correctly it not only removes any order if you shine a black light on cat urine stains they glow, but after you use Fizzion the glow is gone.

Hello M.Bb. Pets don't usually mark or pee because they are mad at us. My best advice is to watch the show, 'My Cat from Hell". Jackson Galaxy is an amazing Cat expert and goes over marking and aggression and is truly a gift to Cat owners. I knew a lot about cats before but after watching that show--my eyes were opened even more. Please watch his show--solutions are simple. It's on Animal Planet. Good luck.

Hi Paul, I haven't heard of the brand you are referring to. Am only familiar with the Feliway. This particular brand has worked pretty well with our cat that just turned one yr last week. This type of product seems to help many cats however certainly isn't a fix all for every kitty. I'd recommend that you give it a try at least once to see how your cat responds. The best of luck with your little friend!
