A little background - the daycare entry that we use is actually an old porch, converted to a room. There is an entry to the underneath part where our outdoor cats live during the colder months.
This morning, I was smelling an overwhelming cat pee smell. It stayed around all day. We do have 1 indoor cat, but she lives upstairs and never ventures downstairs to the main level. I thought at first that maybe something that the cat could have peed on was in the entry, but didn't see anything that could have been the culprit. My other thought was that some other cats got under the entry and peed and it was coming up through the flooring, but my dh said that's not likely, since we've never smelled it before, and we've had cats living under there for a long time.
The smell was ONLY in the entryway of the house (there is a door that can be closed between the entryway and the rest of the house, and it was closed all day).
So here's my dilemma. I'm starting to think that the smell was on something that one of my dc families brought in. When looking back, I didn't really smell anything until after they got here. How in the world do I tell them that their stuff reeks?? I like this family, and I would hate to embarrass them like that, but I really don't want that smell in my house!! I will check in the morning when they get here if I smell anything off, as just after they left, I didn't smell it anymore, before figuring out what to do. Just wondering how you bring something like that up?
Anyone with cats knows that you can't get that smell out, and I really don't want it in my entryway where other families come in and smell it. I don't want to smell it.
Any thoughts?
