Im not sure what cat urine smells like exactly. But mabe im thinking coolant. Have you had any work done to the car recently either you or a shop? Or do any unusual driving eg. Jumping on dirt roads?(Dont knock it its fun! :-) :D

[i:d5a9d112dc]jumping on dirt roads--probably fun! But maybe the coolant is the problem--guess I'm still a little confused but oh well. The car was recently purchased, April or May this year. No problem with the heat-- maybe it IS the coolant. Hhhhmmmm. Thank you :) tannis[/i:d5a9d112dc]
