I think the cat has peed somewhere he is definitely not supposed to have peed.

I know whereof you speak. When I open my front hall closet, I smell cat pee (I don't leave it hanging open for the cats at any time). I spent more than a half an hour one evening taking everything out of the bottom of it, sniffing what I took out, then sniffing every inch of closet floor, and shining a flashlight around the walls looking for telltale staining. Nada. No evidence of pee. But the smell is still there. How do they do that?!?

I'm tempted to buy a black light because apparently that's the only surefire way of finding where they've done it. I feel like an idiot walking around the apartment with my nose twitching like a bunny and bending over to sniff anything made of material where he might have felt the urge.

Sadly, the only solution is to move.

My family's cat when I was young used to pee in my brother's shoes. Nowhere else in the house--just in one of little brother's shoes. Little brother was not amused.

In my experience, they work much better on detective shows than in real life.

But if you find the spot... Urine Off is supposed to not only clean the area & remove the smell, but also prevent (not stop... prevent) them from going there again.

I feel your pain. Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap seems to work (I'm counting it as one of the 18 uses) on the smell. Although, I know there's some place I haven't found yet because I still smell it outside of the bafroom (where she'd peed on the floor)...so yeah, sucks because I keep walking through patches of the smell but can't pinpoint it.

I say that once a day. :-P

You can try washing the area with the Nature's Miracle stuff, but leave a thin layer of it on (to work), and repeat a couple of times.
Also, try scouting around on hands and knees to see it you can pinpoint the spot.
Sigh.
