"Cat piss smell can also be bats. We were renting a place once and I noticed a strong smell of cat piss at the top of the stairs right under the hatch to the loft. Turns out, we had a colony of bats roosting in the attic. I counted over 300 bats leaving at one point. And they're also protected, meaning you can't remove them.

We contacted the letting agency and when the bats moved out for the year, the letting agency sent round 'their guy' to plug the holes where the bats could get in using expanding foam. So the bats got back in the next year. But not my house, not my problem."
