The other day my wife came home from town and told me that she thought a cat must have sprayed on our car, because she could smell the obnoxious odor. I assumed that some cat in town must have sprayed on one of the tires.
A couple of days later when I got into the car, I could smell cat spray. That seemed strange since I didn’t think a cat could have gotten into our car and sprayed. Then again, I thought, maybe the odor from outside of the car just filtered into the interior of the car.
The next couple of times I got into the car I again noticed the spray smell.
A few days later when I was in town, I grabbed our old tan shopping bag and went into the grocery store. I traveled down the aisles and picked up the things we needed, then headed to the cashier. I put the food items onto the counter, then flopped the bag down so the cashier could fill it.
Suddenly, there it was again; that cat spray smell. Finally I realized that the smell was on our shopping bag. Once I got home, I transferred all of the food items from the foul smelling bag into another bag to carry into the house. I then took the offending shopping bag and hung it on a hook outside in our carport, to air out. I’m not sure how long it will take the smell to finally go away.
Weeks ago, during our mild, above freezing, winter days, after emptying the grocery bag, instead of putting it back into the car, I probably just pitched it out onto the carport floor, thinking I would put it in the car the next time I went outside. I suspect when it was laying on the carport floor, the neighborhood tom cat came around and sprayed it.
After the spraying, the shopping bag was finally put in the car. It took a while for the obnoxious vapor to permeate the air inside the car. Now that I have removed the bag and hung it outside, the cat smell is no longer in the car. I’m glad the problem was something that was easily dealt with.
