When it comes time to sell a home with pets home sellers tend to overlook the not only their fur balls presence, but all the mishaps they may have made in the home.\u00a0I\u2019m one homeowner who loves pets in fact Sal and I have three cats (1 lives outside still), two dogs and a homing pigeon.\u00a0<\/span>
\nAs I’m writing this post I have to admit something…I have our female cat Tigz, whose’s been living with us since 2012, ruining the floor in my office. For the past month or so she’s been going to the bathroom on the floor, rather than the litter box. <\/span>
\nWhile, we first recognized this as a behavioral problem, we soon realized she had blood in her urine. Now, maybe this was a miracle in disguise but we discovered she had a large stone in her bladder. Glad to report she was operated on earlier this week and is doing well –hopefully this solves the litter box issue, but unfortunately the damage on our floors have already been done.<\/span>

\nWhy am I admitting to this story to you because in my opinion animal homes get lived in twice as much as homes without an animal. Having an animal in a home isn’t necessarily the problem it’s when the owner fails to clean up and maintain the home that has pet problems. So, rather wait until that one day when we sell the house and just live with the smell (which many homeowners do by the way) we always take\u00a0immediate action to eliminate the problem. \u00a0<\/span>
\nNow, I love animals and am a forgiving pet owner but<\/span>,\u00a0according to the Humane Society,<\/span> <\/a>more than half of homeowners don\u2019t own pets, making it clear that not every buyer is going to be animal friendly (or as forgiving). I\u00a0<\/span>can understand why buyers may be hesitant about moving into an animal house, just smelling the urine odor in my office has me floored.<\/span>
