so for the last month or two i have had this odor in my bathroom that had me puzzled...

i couldn't nail this odor down... sometimes it was bad... sometimes it was hardly noticeable..... i bought $15 yankee overpriced candles... i bought can after can of fart cover up air freshner... i stuck those disc air freshners all over the back of my crapper... i bought those air freshners that go inside the TP tube.... i even bought one of those things with the aerosol can of air freshner that automatically sprays a smell-good-mist automatically and set it on it's highest setting..... no luck....

i thought it was my dirty clothes that find their way into the corner for a day or so at a time since they are often stained with gear oil, stinky mud, etc... kicked that habit to the curb and the smell still scared off my downtown club ho's....

i thought it was my trash can somehow even though i rarely use it and washed it out with bleach..... still couldn't get a ho to stay the night after visiting my spotless bathroom....

i thought it was the shower curtain.... maybe the smells i scrub off my body somehow decided to cling to it? it's black fabric so it looked clean, but smells are invisible.... cleaned it, no luck... replaced it, no luck....

somehow my golf clubs ended up in there a few months ago... used to be in my room and they didn't smell there so how could they be the culpret? impossible.... moved them anyway... smell still hung around and bitches still ran for their mommy's....

the last thing left was the shower mat but it gets vacuumed every couple days and is almost brand new so how could that be the stank? picked it up to toss it in the washing machine and WALLAH! VICTORY! I FOUND IT!


my roommate's cat thinks my shower mat is his personal piss pad.


wtf. he has a litter box and uses it... always has... i HATE this cat and he runs away every time i enter his range of vision so i know the feelings are mutual but i always figured "out of sight, out of mind" until now.....

i couldn't ever hurt him, i'm not that kinda guy..... but could i kill him painlessly with no evidence? :fuck-you:

help! what can i do to keep this cat the fuck out of my bathroom? boric acid keeps roaches and shit out of your house, what keeps cats out of your place aside from antifreeze?

i'm open for suggestions.... really open.. and really desperate.... i don't want to do anything to harm him... i just want to keep him the hell out of MY pisser.

-Erik <---- keeps the doors closed but my roommates use my bathroom some mornings and will continue to leave the door open


:poop: :poop: :poop: :poop: :poop:
 
Large caliber weaponry works well.

There are electronic gizmos you can buy to produce a irritating sound to vermin, I meant cats. Look at pet stores or on line but antifreeze is cheaper.

Good luck.
 
I'd had a friend that had cats that got on their cars all the time. They started sprinkling pepper on the cars and claimed the cats wouldn't get back on the cars. When they drove off, the wind would blow the pepper off.
Of course, it will be funny explaining why you keep a pepper shaker in your bathroom!

ok so i found mats that keep them away but they're more expensive than antifreeze as you mentioned....


i also found a thing that emits a horrible noise when the pussy trips the motion sensor would would work like a champ!

but it's about $50 which would buy roughly 7 gallons of antifreeze from sam's club....

i guess i may head to petsmart and see what sort of sprays they have that are less expensive than antifreeze....

i don't have a pepper shaker, just a big green space needle looking pepper grinding mill so that should really bring on the questions, haha. maybe i'll go buy some ground pepper and pour it all over the entrance to the hall that leads to my room and bathroom... as long as i don't step on it then it shouldn't get groudn into the carpet, right? we'll see!

They make a spray called NOGO, it keeps animals out of areas. It has an irritating smell that they can smell but we can't. Spray it on the carpet around your room and bathroom. It will take a week or so to work well, but you should see results pretty soon. I use it to keep the cat away from my roomate's room.
 
I don't know what will keep them away, but your story reminded me of the time in College that I played a prank on my buddies a few doors down. I went and caught a brim from the pond and stuck in a pile of Junkmail they always had piled up. took about 4-5 days of hunting for them to find it! :D

awesome... i haven't gone to buy ground pepper yet so maybe i'll skip that and go straight for the good stuff that won't potentially stain my carpet or irritate my nose. thanks!

I've always questioned men that had cats as pets, just doesn't seem right to me.

hahaha, i put a sandshark in my friend's toilet bowl tank last year.... the only reason he found it was b/c it jammed up the flushger. a fish would have been better... the sandshark didn't smell nearly as bad as i thought it would haha
 
Keep the door closed, and put a sign on it.. "Close me"

If roommates leave it open, they buy you a new mat. done.

Get a spring loaded hinge or automatic door closer thing....

that's a possibility... they're cheap... probably cheaper than the nogo cat spray, lol.... only issue with that is the inconveniece when i'm showing and like to leave the door open to hear the music jamming from the living room :)


i'm weird.
 
The root cause is the rubber no-slip backing on the bath rug. It is made of rubber which is processed with ammonia, which most cat absolutely hate! It is similar to the scent male cats excrete when marking their territory. Puts the cats into a defensive mode where they will repeatedly urinate on the item to try and make it smell like them.

Cats are territorial as hell, I battled a roomates cat for a few months till he moved out, lil bastard pissed on my bed, he soon found that he would live under the roomies bed while I was home, as I would terrorize the fawk outta him when I was there. AND I bought a closer for my bedroom door.

Then after I bought a house and got married, we got a cat to keep the mice at bay, all was well, till wife got preggo, then shit hit the fan, Cat would claw the fawk out of the bedstead at 2 am, run though the house, claw the fawk outta furnature and then repeat several times thru the night,made the wife crazy. Cat would also attack the wife if she tried to pet her. Final straw was when the cat lunged at the kid after it was born.

Clementine left the building soon after. She was relocated to the JoCo animal shelter to be adopted. Wasn't till then that it was explained to us that the cat was very jealious of the kid, and it would not get any better, no matter what we did. (except getting rid of the kid, and that wasn't an option)
 
At least its someone else with the cat pee problems, this month. I know the feeling of the mystery odor, absolutely horrible and hard to locate sometimes. I had to remove perfectly good carpet from my xj..at first I thought it was the seats, turns out, it was carpet.
 
WONG THE CHINESE CHEF SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP.....
 
There is always the 'Open Door' policy with the roomate's cat. Leave the door to the outdoors open. Out goes the cat, problem solved.

I can't believed nobody touched this.
Yeah, I've heard that before too....


Okay, kiddin gaside - go to Wal-Mart and get one of those sonic things.
Idea is very simple. Hearing range for many animanls is different from human, seems liek cats are among the 40Hz-60kHz range. This thing simply emits "sound" at like 40kHz. You can't hear it, but the cat can. It dosn't hurt it or anything, it;s just annoyin genough that it's going to avoid it. The small units are only intended for a single room... it's just a speaker, and high frequencies liek that are easily blocked by onjects and not conducted through objects. Point being that you can just plug it in your bathroom, and keep the door closed or close to it, the cat will avoid it like the plague but still have free roam of the rest of the house.

And if "money isn't the object here", I bet you coudl even convince your roomate to buy it, given that the other option is the "open door" style suggested above.

that explains why he didn't piss on the last shower mat i had... it didn't have the rubber anti-slip pad built into it....

i have tried that so many times and when he does eventually get the nerve to go outside he gets scared and comes back in.... and if that door somehow closes itself after he exits, he sits beside it and waits for someone to open it.....

sold. to walmart i go today to try to find this magical device b/c so far the only ones i've seen are for outdoors. i'll get one for my bathroom, one for the bedroom, and one for the kitchen! no more cat around my food, hooray! maybe i should just put them all over the first floor and the stairs... that way he would stay upstairs in her room 24/7....

How about no shower mat? Auto door closer seems like a winner to me. Might have to go get one today since my roommate won't close his bathroom door so my dog keeps drinking toilet water.
