This is in response to Minta Taylor's request for tips on descenting cat
urine odors from carpeting.  (Works for ferret aroma, too.  I know.  I
tried it.)  My cat was once inadvertenrly shut in an upstairs bedroom for
over 24 hours and her too fragrant calling card hit me in the face when I
opened the door to release her.
 
At a local pet store I bought a bottle of enzyme treatment called 'Pet
Odor & Stain Eliminator' by Unique Manufacturing & Marketing, Inc., 5778
Lamar, Arvada, CO 80002.  Phone number: 1-800-221-3259.  This stuff
works!  I mixed the solution with water, sprayed it generously on the
soiled carpet and covered the area with a damp towel for 24 hours.  When
I removed the towel, the odor was gone and hasn't returned since.  Cost
to me was $6.98.
 
Good luck, Minta!
 
Cordially,
Greta Hoisington
