It almost looks like light shock, how long has it been outside? How often do you fertilize? When was the last time it was repotted? How often do you water, and does the soil dry out between waterings?

Thanks, I think! We don't know what it is and it has never bloomed. It doesn't have much in the form of needles 🤷
Urine has plenty of nitrogen. 1 part pee to ten parts water once or twice a month.

Cats be shittin in house plants....
Urine is actually a decent litmus test. Soil microbiology should neutralize any odor (dilution still matters, 10 parts water to 1 per). While lifeless dirt will just smell like an outhouse.
Cats deliberately go places they can hide the odor...

I imagine you then wash it out, thus cleaning the odor for them.
