While you love your cat, as the owner of a home with beautiful hardwood floors, you love your floors too. But cats and wood don't mix. Cat urine has an unmistakable acrid odor, similar to ammonia, that permeates the room and can spread to the rest of the house. Until the smell of cat urine is removed, it will be announced every time you enter the house. The porosity of older, heavily used hardwood floors makes the problem worse as urine soaks into the wood.
