The smell of urine you're referring to is probably the ammonia that it gives off when it's allowed to sit for a while, which is a product of putrefactive bacteria getting their hands on the nitrogen-rich liquid. This is not specific to urine, it is produced by anything which provides the conditions necessary for certain bacteria to thrive. Anaerobic decomposition (the sort of decomposition which takes place with very little or no access to oxygen) creates far more smelly gases than aerobic decomposition, and the lower the Carbon:Nitrogen ratio in the decomposing matter the more gases as well, so basically what's happened is the organic matter that got in there has decomposed with too little carbon and too little air, producing that famous urine smell.
