Catpiss Stank

[loveberry]

Let's say you are standing on someone's porch, and you realize that there is a catpiss stank coming from inside that home. You know that an infant and an older child live there. You are on very poor terms with the adults in the home, so an offer to help clean up their filth is out, so out that the mere suggestion would probably incite the adults in

Calling CPS for a cat pee smell is insane if the kids are otherwise well taken care of.

This. CPS is already overburdened, I think it's a huge waste of resources to make them investigate a stink.

a foul odor alone would not be reason enough for me to take any action, but it might cause me to be more observant for other signs of a problem.

No I would not call over something like that.

Without signs of physical, emotional or some other kind of abuse, or obvious signs of neglectful behavior (such as being able to see garbage all over the floor of the home, the kids being unwashed and smelling bad) that would not be enough of a reason to call CPS.

In fact, I wouldn't say or do a thing, as the smell of cat pee is not nearly enough for me to suspect anything. I don't know why I'd be on their porch though anyway.

Avon calling? Ding-dong ditching? :-)

Flaming bag of doggy poo?

I see your point there.

It was some hypothetical mother. Picking up her hypothetical child. :P

I have 2 cats. My oldest is 16 and had bladder problems for a while, do you have any idea how long it takes to get the smell out? I would assume they had a similar problem with their cat.
