Actually, strong ammonia from cat urine can be dangerous if it is in high enough concentration. You can experience a loss of sense of smell, increased heart rate, irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes, lung irritation and coughing, and nausea. Ammonia itself in liquid form is corrosive and in the body is destructive to the cells. I'm not aware of the dangers of breathing it over a long period of time, I found this question as I was looking up the dangers myself because I know someone close to me who "gets used to" the smell quickly when they go home (loss of sense of smell). I visited recently and found myself unable to get used to the smell (was there about 30 minutes) but experienced some slight nausea and an increased heart rate, which alarmed me and made me want to look this up. Look up the dangers of inhaling ammonia fumes and you'll have your answer. With what I've learned so far, it can't be good over a long period of time.
