Hi Michelle---thanks for this info, which will help with my own problem (Tiger).
My Q yesterday tho was prompted by an email from my sister in UK who writes a newspaper column and had received a letter from a reader with a litterbox prob. I wanted to be able to give my sister the name of a really good UK cat odour-remover that she could pass on to all readers with same problem (my sister doesn't have cats herself). My thinking being that if the info just helps prevent one poor cat being pts it's worth the effort. If you are able to find any info on the best odor-remover in UK that would be great. But don't go out of your way--I have some great info already from Barb and MC re the reader's main Q (how to toilet train adult cats that you've had for years).

Are there any other animals sharing the house (their patch)? if so put them in one room so that they develop a sense of security and keep that room free from other animals. When they are let out supervised after a while to explore then make sure that room is still kept free from other animals as it will be their little secure haven. 2) Have you tried putting newspaper or a rubber backed rug with plastic sheet under it on there toilet hotspot - you may need to gradually build up to litter - sometimes shreaded paper or old piece of carpet in a litter box may do, or material that you can wash. 3) Sometimes putting bits of food in there toilet hotspots helps as they won't toilet where they eat so sometimes keep putting food down until they learn where food doesn't go and they can safely toilet helps. All this came from a tv program about unruly pets. Cats were toileting on carpets etc - the trainer did all of the above and it cured itself rapidly.
