These ingredients are a safe way to get cat pee out of floors and furniture because they won&#8217;t damage most wood  but spot-test an out-of-the-way area first to ensure your finish is safe.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_get_rid_of_cat_spray_odor\"><\/span>How do you get rid of cat spray odor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To get rid of cat spray odor, start by <b>wiping down the area where your cat sprayed with paper towels. If the stain is on carpet or fabric, blot it instead of rubbing it, which will cause the stain to set. Next, apply an enzyme cleaner that will break down the compounds in the urine that cause it to smell.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_cat_keep_spraying_my_couch\"><\/span>Why does my cat keep spraying my couch?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Sensitive kitties can become anxious when their favorite person is away from them for an extended period of time. These cats might respond to the absence by peeing on the bed or the couch that is saturated with their human&#8217;s scent. They&#8217;re mingling their own scents with that of their beloved.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_my_cat_peeing_on_the_couch_all_of_a_sudden\"><\/span>Why is my cat peeing on the couch all of a sudden?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>If the litter box is in a place that might cause your cat a certain amount of stress, he might decide to use your couch instead.
