Do you know how to get the urine smell off a cat who peed himself? (He can't reach his hindquarters to do it himself.) We've washed him three times already and he still stinks.

I haven't tried this on an animal, but as long as he doesn't (can't) lick it off, hydrogen peroxide is my best method of removing cat odor. Works better than anything I know of - and is even better than (or at least as good as) whatever that pet Miracle Something product is that costs a lot and works. I put hydrogen peroxide on carpets and clothing and furniture - whatever the cat has peed on - and let it dry. If it's washable, I then send it through the wash. Don't put it on an open wound (unless you want the antibacterial effect) and I'd avoid mucous membranes and the like.

eHow might have an answer to that question.

Saturating a washcloth or paper towels in Nature's Miracle, or equivalent enzyme odor remover,and wiping down the kitty's hindquarters.

I used incontinence wipes on the hubby. They sell them in that aisle. May be they will help the cat.

vinegar is slightly acid (or lemon juice), while urine is slightly base. I've used that before to good effect.

Dawn dish detergent is great for washing animals - I think it will cut the odor. It's also great as a flea treatment, especially if you don't have flea shampoo on hand or it's too soon to use it again.

If that doesnt work, try rubbing his hindquarters with a baking soda paste, let it sit for a minute or two, and then rinse.

Wet a washcloth with one of the enzyme based cleaners and wipe him down? At least, that was what we did with Belle (RB) when she got too old to reach. It's a shame you can't just buy a small bottle of cat spit and use that...

I would just bathe my cat when she urinated on herself. I washed her with human shampoo as it tends to be more fragrant and I let her air dry after absorbing as much water as I could with a towel. It seemed to work. They hate baths obviously so I would fill up the bathroom sink, dip her in on her back and try to hold all her paws in my one hand while washing with the other. One time that I had to bathe her, I took pieces of cloth and fastened them on her paws with rubberbands to minimize the scratching. If the water is a warm, cozy temperature usually they'll relax for a little while before going spastic on you. Good luck
