NEW CASTLE, Pa. (AP) — Residents are hoping tests on air samples can explain why their western Pennsylvania city smells like cat urine.
New Castle residents began noticing the smell Nov. 1 in the city about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. The New Castle News (http://bit.ly/1FqBUCa) says the smell is still lingering near a sewage treatment plant in the city’s Mahoningtown neighborhood.
State environmental officials don’t believe the odor is harmful, but they don’t yet know what’s causing it.
A spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection says on-site monitoring didn’t detect any hazardous substances in the air.
But tests on air samples to determine what’s causing the smell will take weeks to complete. The DEP is also testing wastewater to determine whether it’s causing the smell.

…Cat piss----- the aroma striven for in sauvignon blancs of a particular terroir in France.
Tastes better than the nose predicts…
Well, the first thing I would check for is if there was a gop campaign crew in town before the election. They usually piss all over the place.
The second thing would be is to find out if there was a secret gop retreat happening close by after the election. Again they would piss all over place in there happiness marking there territory.
The 3rd would be who has the largest chemical business who donated to the gop for more de-regulation on there product.
Sounds like there silo’s are over flowing.
Um…
