If it smells in the room when they aren't in it, then I'd say the black light/clean-up idea is great. However, since your cats and dog are 84 in human years, it's possible they have digestive issues and it announces itself with--well--tooting if you know what I mean. I'd check their diet and make sure they aren't getting into human food and that they are are "senior" pet food. Make sure the dog isn't getting into the cat boxes. Also, check their teeth. They (or even just one) may have dental issues and you're smelling bad breath or an infected tooth or gum. If your cats like to hunt critters, make sure they didn't bring one inside without you knowing and leave it somplace in that room. In the end, if the smell remains and it's REALLY objectionable, you may have to completely clean the room, the rugs, whatever else is in there and take all 3 to the vet's to rule out health issues. Infections often manifest themselves by causing bad odors.
