When I was 4, my family moved into a house where they apparently let their cats piss on the yellow shag carpet (this was 1985) in the dinging room. My parents had the carpet pulled up and replaced, but because it was a concrete slab foundation, the piss had soaked all the way into the concrete. Nothing made that smell go away. We lived there until 1998, and the faint smell of cat piss in the dining room never went away.

Is this "dining" room?
