So, I went to Petsmart today and bought a "Stink Finder" ultra-violet flashlight. I've been walking around my house and the basement in the dark looking for glowing urine.
I found some in the litter box! I also learned that dirty kleenexs glow in the dark to. And some remains of a furball in the basement.
This device is hilarious. Anyone have one? I feel like I'm on an episode of CSI.

Hope you didn't spend a ton of money. All you need is a black lightbulb, its the same thing
It is scary what you will find.

I bought a black lightbulb and it didn't work. This was only about $20 and it seems to work. Plus with the bulb, you have to walk around with a lamp and cord.

So more than pee glows, eh?
I like the idea of the flashlight form - sounds more convenient & fun to use

The bulb I bought may have been a Walmart Halloween Rip-off.

There's no place like home
I have a black light but bought one cause it was portable. I had a cat with chronic respiratory problems and sneezed goobers his entire life. 2 years after he crossed and after I had thought I scraped and repainted every wall in my house, I took the light room to room. There were still goober marks in almost every room of my house!!!

Yep, it is scary what you find with them!!
