Black light for locating cat pee? An Ultraviolet Black Light for Detecting Cat Urine!? What the heck.. this actually exists. I know. I’m shocked too. But.. does it work?
So, apparently this UV light works for identifying cat urine locations, but the light has to be within a particular range (365nm to 385nm) so some of the cheaper black lights out there simply won’t react with the urine to fluoresce the ammonia crystals. Here’s a link to one that’s supposed to be in range that we might test soon. There’s a bunch of lint and stuff that will show up as white (wait.. those tv shows said this was something else..) so you’ve kind of got to do a smell test to confirm the area, mark it and then clean it with some good cleaner like an enzyme or oxy (hydrogen peroxide) based cleaner. Also weird is science shows that while the cat urine drys out the smell will become STRONGER as it sets into it’s crystalline form, semi-permanently in your carpet. (YAY /s) Some sites suggested pre-cleaning it with some dish soap warm water solution to destabilize the crystals of ammonia but I’m not sure what’s critical yet. We’re testing this. It’s a test. Testing. ECHO. ELLO VORLD.
Here’s a link to one that apparently has both frequencies or nanometers (pronounced naNOMetors) so maybe that would help? It’s suppose to have an inner ring of one frequency and an outer and inner set of LED’s of the other. Nan-Nometer. We’ll likely have to buy these and test them which will require actually getting the money to buy them AND the cat with the urine and all that so.
Please buy this from our affiliate link and let us know if it was helpful in your cat pee adventures. Heck, pets, seriously. We feed you and clean your boxes and this is how you repay us? What if I peed on your pillow? What? You’d LIKE that!? Friggin’ weirdos!
If your cat is peeing on your carpet or piles or clothing, please put away your piles of clothing. As for the carpet, is your cat unfixed? We suggest fixing that by either starting a cat breeding farm and putting them somewhere comfortable but acceptable for a pee-pee kitty, or getting them fixed or spayed. This is just one of those things you have to figure out as a pet owner. Even then, some cats are just friggin’ weird and like to pee on stuff. Make sure their boxes are super clean and that if you have multiple cats that you also supply multiple boxes. Try a low-scent litter. Try scooping multiple times a day. Try hugging them so hard they get it all out of their systems and then take a shower. No, even this just doesn’t solve the underlying issue. Sometimes, as Mister WeeWee would say. MAOW. WAH. And that’s just how it be.
UV lights can be a game-changer for detecting cat urine stains that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. When exposed to UV light, cat urine typically glows yellow or green, making it easier to locate and clean2. If you’re looking for a UV flashlight to help with this, there are several options available online right here where you are. The links are seriously nearby.
And if you’re just here for cute cats, well, I fully support that mission! 😸 You can check out some adorable cat images under UV light here and here. Let me know if you need more info or just want to chat about cats! 🐾 (Is this safe? Legal? Uhhhg.)
Aww, they’re so cute when being roasted by 365nm/385nm of ultraviolet radiation! Good move pretending to be asleep, cat. Smooth. Protect those eye balls.
