Solving the Stray Cat Urine Odor Problem in My Tea Shop
I run a tea shop in Houston. Stray cats, especially a dominant orange one, visit often. But its urine near the shop entrance caused a smelly problem. After my failed attempts, my daughter recommended a spray that worked well, except for a cap leakage issue. Sharing my experience for those with similar problems.

I run a Chinese-style tea shop in Houston, and the business is quite good. Not far from the shop, there is a small forest. Last year, I saw several cats living in it. During the winter, they would occasionally come to the front of my shop to ask for some food.
The cold winter is a challenge for every animal. My daughter has several cats at her home. The last time she came to visit me, she brought me several bags of cat food. I often put it in a basin near the door.
Among the several cats, there is an orange cat. It looks imposing and majestic. The other cats don't seem to be a match for it. When they see it, they can only obediently give way. There was a black cat that once opposed it and kept meowing, but in the end, it was beaten and fled in a hurry.
Over time, this orange cat has become the "dominant" cat in front of my shop. As a male cat in its prime, it looks vigorous and heroic. However, one day I found that it urinated beside the cabinet at the entrance of my shop. After a while, I could occasionally smell the stench of urine. Using a damp cloth couldn't clean it thoroughly, especially to reduce the smell. Since I need to run the shop for sales, this smell obviously has some negative impacts. I spent a whole week trying to solve this problem on my own, but the effect was not good.
So, I consulted my daughter for her opinion. She bought me a bottle of odor-removing spray, and it worked quite well. For my current problem, the core need is to remove the odor. I bought the one with the scent of Baby Powder. Personally, I think the smell is moderate, not too pungent and it doesn't linger for too long. The only issue is with the bottle cap. There seems to be a risk of leakage. But as for the product itself, I think it's definitely worth buying. Friends who have similar problems can also consider this product.
