Question
my daughter just had a baby girl she is two months old now .she also has four male cats the urine smell is horrible when you walk in her house.could this smell be harmfull to the baby

Answer
Hi
no smells are not harmful.

it sounds to me like your daughter has not neutered these boys. This would definitely reduce the smell of urine as they would no longer feel the need to spray scent so often if at all. cats generally do not smell themselves (unlike there food :) )

if they are not neutered I would definitely recommend this as it will also reduce any aggressive behaviour.

best wishes Kate
