My colleague just said the same thing. It’s just starting to come back for her, and everything smells terrible to her.

I had that when mine first started coming back! It was really hard to describe but it was like entirely random things, and not always the same things, had this background cat piss ammonia smell with it. That's slowly faded but I've never gotten all of my smell back...ironically I can't smell litter boxes xD

Interesting. I had just assumed the cats had been pissing everywhere, but that’s exactly what happened to me (though I definitely smell litter boxes)

Yeah that was the best thing I could finally compare it to was cat piss ammonia, because that's a distinct smell. It wasn't EXACTLY that but that was the closest comparison, and it was very unpleasant for a few months before that finally faded.
