    There's a few different things you could try.

    Cleaning the seats with washing powder.
    Afterwards spray the area with surgical spirit (test a small section first).
    Wipe down car surfaces with warm water and vinegar and rinse off by wiping.

    If this doesn't get rid of the whiff then you might have to get a full valet, if it's gone down into the foamy part of the seats you might have to get them really well cleaned.

    It can really pong don't envy you.

    If possible, get it neutered. It might become a creature of habit & you'll never get rid of the smell.
    Otherwise, get some biological washing powder or soda crystals. Mix with boiling water & scrub.
    Leave half a lemon in your car, it'll absorb the smell.
    Any amonia based cleaner will only make the smell worse.

    Do NOT use bleach, you'll set off a stink bomb!
