Cat piss?

So I bought myself some paperwhites because I've never had them
before. They've bloomed and are beautiful but every now and then I
catch a whiff of cat piss. Does anyone else think these fragrant
flowers have a stangely pissy stink?

Holy cow, are you ever right. Amy finally pointed out what the smell was -- in the meanwhile, I was sniffing the carpet, fully convinced that either a cat in heat got in our house, or Audrey peed on the floor during her urinary tract infection when she couldn't keep her pee in. it drove me crazy. I was crawling all over the dining room floor sniffing the carpet, then sniffing where Audrey usually sits. then Amy, wonderful, wise Amy says, what the heck are you doing Scott? "Somebody pissed all over here. You smell that?" -- it's the flowers.
Yup. It's the flowers. Reminds me of Gramma's Chicago house back when the cats were (always) in heat.
