I tried searching on how to fix this...but didn't really find anything. I have a Big Buddha Blue Cheese... she is about 2.5" tall. I have been dealing with a stupid cat getting into my veg room and digging up the pot like a litter box. If it was my cat i would.... ok. i'm not going to finish that sentence, but for real... what should i do? flush? :evil:

I'd flush and not worry too much. My dog done this to my outdoor plant a bunch of times, never really had a negative effect, i just hosed it off after i saw the bugger doing it.

If the Strain were "Cat Piss" .... the actual cat piss might smell better.

Maybe Hygrozyme, or something with enzymes will help break it down. Its perfectly good Nitrogen ... its the smell more than anything that is a problem. Well that and being owned by an evil cat.

;-) Maybe kitty sees yellowing leaves in a different light spectrum, a couple days earlier than you and was trying to help..

Spraying hot sauce on the floor at the entrance, and maybe near the pots, on the side etc. should keep them away. Tabasco or a 10+ like Satans blood, Daves insanity or Inferno cut with vinegar would be better...Hot pepper wax is another option. OR sprinkle some hot chili powder on the floor. First.. they wont agree with the smell... and they wont much like getting hot pepper on thier paws.

Addressing the cause.... "Borat" the Kitty walks into the grow room.... Your likely using Happy Frog, or Super Soil of some kind with guano and whatnot. Or some organic source of ammonia and urea nitrate. Borat the Cat smells that and says "someone else made potty here..." Borat digs the luxurious feeling, easy digging soil and says "Very Nice..."

Aluminum Foil Hats would block Borat out, and provide some reflection. OR "Pac Mans" cut from a scrap piece of "Mylar bubble wrap" insulation.

If Borat the Kitty is hanging out because it likes being around plants... grow kitty his own "dope plant" .. Catnip, and locate it somewhere else where you prefer kitty hangs out. Sneaking a small catnip plant into your flower area, soaking up some spare rays is a nice thing to do also. Kitty's like Bud too...

I don't know that the OP would put it on the floor per se, but a thin coating around the setup would do the trick. We've done stuff like that with cayenne pepper and the dog... After a few sneezing fits he got the hint.

It depends on what type of floor, in basements concrete floors are common... maybe one wouldn't do that on a nice carpet, tile or what have you. The point is having a dreadful smell that animals are greeted with at the threshold. If that turns them off of venturing further is that so bad???? {Ants and other bugs wont like it much either.}

Tabasco, which limps in at a weak 5 on the heat scale was only mentioned because its the most commonly available. I would personally step it up to a 10++ sauce that wont get used on food anyway.... if a person is 'daft enough to have a bottle of Daves, Inferno, Satans Blood etc sitting idle in the fridge. Maybe to keep things tidy, spices, pepper sauce etc could be applied to a "go away" doormat.. Wiccan, and Voodoo practitioners would apply pretty much the same concoction over the threshold to keep evil spirits out of the grow room.

My experience has shown that our animals dont like the growroom smelling like "Zero Tolerance" {Ed Rosenthal's personal bug formulae}

My dog broke a branch off a plant in th flowering room a few years ago when she was a pup and she is not allowed to cross the doorway into the grow room. She was sad for a while, but now she is good as gold with it.

There are folks in the ORGANIC forum who swear that pissing on their plants is the best thing possible. Maybe you should attract pussy !!!!

ehhhh.... i'll stick to my nutes :P even if it was good for them... cats like to claw and dig up the dirt before they use it... not so good for the roots...and the plant gets sat on. :( I won't accommodate bad behavior with tricks like tobacco sauce... i just have a 2 strike rule.. I'm a stone cold bitch when it comes to my babies <3
