A truly informative article, Chaz! My sister is heavily invested in animal rescue and the statistics' on how many kittens an unfixed cat may account for are staggering! spay and neuter are more humane than most people realize, animals just reproduce due to biological signals, not as a source of pleasure or a recreational activity!

I do however take issue with your assertion that kitty pee can be cleaned chemically. As a former flooring contractor I can tell you that if your cat has been peeing in your house, you cannot clean the area with detergent or odor control products! Cat urine is oil based and of a specific gravity that allows it to soak through carpet, padding and into the cement foundation. the only workable remedy is to remove the carpet and padding, throw it out and hope the garbage will take it, wash the affected concrete with bleach, cover the area with a layer of baking soda and install new carpeting! In my opinion, it may be easier to get rid of skunk odor than the odor in an area where cats have been peeing!
