Driver side floor board, passenger floor board, driver and passenger seat bottoms and backs, rear bench seat back, the back of the front seats(how is that even possible) and of course the rear floor boards. For anyone who has experienced this, this is a TERRIBLE odor that is very difficult to get rid of. Luckily, I always have my drain plugs out and I live in AZ so I can easily spray out the interior with a high pressure washer and iit'll dry in the course of the day, but I get tired of doing that EVERY day. Its most agravating when there is cat piss on the driver seat, resulting in you smelling like cat piss for the entirety of the day. IT just drives me nuts... I might have to try to high pitched sound thing though...

Pissing would be piss me off too, no pun intended. No I get your point on the cats pissing in your jeep as being real bad, I saw a few people complaining about hair in the jeep and that sort of set me off as being ridiculous but urine is def a different story. Try citrus sprays, most cats hate the smell of citrus. If they make a citrus febreeze I would start there.

Cat piss is one of the worst smells. IMO, it is worse than skunk. No exaggeration there either.

Default No time to read the whole thread

but the doublesided tape suggestions put forth several times should definitely do the trick.

also, at the pet store, they have something called "sticky-sticks" - sticky on both sides, you lay them down, cat's HATE things stickign to their paws.

Leave em there each night for a few nights, they will go away - that's how I trained my cats to stay off the counter tops and out of the potted plants...

Wow, you guys put up with a heck of a lot more than I would. If that happened to me more than once....... well it wouldn't happen a third time.

Yea, the cat tends to claw up my roll bar for whatever reason, I even had piss on top of the roll bar as well. Try pressure washing that and not covering the dash with water, haha.

Does anyone have any more experience with the high frequency deterents? That may be the only thing short of physical harm that I haven't tried.

I put a bunch of tape down 3 days in a row. Came back everytime to find a ball of tape and cat hair, and it still kept coming back.

I bought some pee deterent, but I was using a good quarter bottle to keep them out and by about the third day, I was still getting pee.

Any other ideas?

Dang you guys put up with a lot. I'm not a cat person, but I highly disapprove of outdoor cats damaging my stuff. I will certainly take care of the offender!
