Have you got an ultraviolet torch? Pee lights up with one.

Rather random, but you haven’t bought a melon have you? I turned my kitchen upside down trying to find the pee. I bleached every surface, scrubbed every wall, washed every soft furnishing. Turned out, it was the melon I had sitting on my worktop?

Can't help with locating cat wee, sorry - but do you happen to have a basil plant? We have one in the porch and it absolutely does smell like cat wee sometimes.

Yes to the melon , exact same happened to me, or daffodils , if you have daffs in a vase it’s them .

We have Elderflower in the garden which is giving cat wee smelly at the moment.

Banana skin can often smell a bit like vet wee also.

I don't have any of those things in the house 😂but I do have the source...it was one of the cushions on the sofa (decorative cushion) How she's managed to do that just on one tiny part of it I have no idea!
