The main nitrogenous waste in all mammal urine is Urea (CH4N2O). Cat urine is highly concentrated. This means that it also has a higher amount of urea in it. When urea decays it produces amines (NH4 = ammonia) first then mercaptans (found in skunk spray). So, at first, the urine is odorless, but as it decays, it breaks down into ammonia
