Thread: Best way to eliminate old urine markings?

I will definitely try both the lemon and the baking soda! The spot under the stairs still has a faint pee smell and even the enzyme cleaner isn't getting all of it.
We too have a visiting stray. I call him Banshee because he screams like one when he's causing trouble with Sampson and Merlin. He's been around since the winter but only recently has he been frequenting us on a daily basis. I've wondered if his presence has been upsetting Merlin, but it's hard to tell!
At the suggestion of our vet I moved a litter box to Merlin's pee area in the basement. He did turn out to have a mild urinary infection too and is on another round of antibiotics. However, once I moved the litter box voila! No more messes!!! I don't know if it's the box, the medicine, or Merlin finally giving Banshee a piece of his mind and being allowed to mark his territory outside but *for now* the accidents have stopped. Our local shelter has spay-a-stray programs for $5, and we are going to take Banshee in. This will not only help with the turf wars but also prevent more unwanted kittens. At last count the feral colony in our neighborhood stood at 60 cats, and that's a loose estimate. :-O
