Why does my cat sometimes smell like human urine? How to fix it?

Question

My cat sometimes smells like human urine not cat urine. She doesn't always smell this way but yesterday it was very noticeable when she climbed up on me when I got home. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Exotic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 7 lbs

The faint smell of urine may be from her fur. Sometimes as cats move through their litter, they can pick up the scent of urine. Make sure Ariel's box is clean with a deep layer of fresh kitty litter. This will prevent her from picking up odors. Also, make sure her behind is not wet from urine soaking into her fur. You can purchase cat grooming wipes from your local pet store to help clean her fur without having to bathe her.
