Bloody cats.
Bloody feline little bastards. I tidy up my room, and find
two of my corsets, soaked with cat's piss.
Don't laugh.
I just hope the bones don't go rusty.
I mean it, it's not funny.
Well, probably slightly funny.
Especially when you take into account that after finding out
how to clean rubber, laying out my circle skirt and spending
ages cleaning and treating it, one of the furry little
buggers sidles up to it, sniffs it, kneads it with its feet
and then wees on it.
Argh.
Cat earmuffs may soon be an option.

what an awful accident!

of course, I bet locked closets and latching cupboards would help in the
future (put either the clothes or the cats in 'em, your choice)

So what did you clean the skirt with? Anything that smells like
litterbox and encourages a cat to pee on it is best used outdoors!
Most bustiers nowadays have plastic-dipped bones so I'd worry less
about rust than having to re-dye the bloody things.
Find something the cats won't go near and spray your carpet good,
then sweeper it and spray again. You can get "bitter apple" in pet
shops.
Incidentally, what my 4 foot iguana did to my fur jacket wasn't pretty
either, but I did get it out!

oh god don't even get me started on our cat!!!

the thing has peed on verything that would break our hearts to get peed
on.

She peed on two of sketchy's painting and my entire photography portfolio.
In addition she took up peeing on our sofa. I tried everything in the book

1) cat repellent

2) cat pee-be-gone stuff

3) putting cotton balls dipped in rubbing alvohol on thing

4) moth balls

5) putting her food on the sofa so she would start associating it with
food instead of the other way around.

6) tin foil

absolutely nothing worked.


finally a friend of ours got rid of their sofa and we snatched it up ASAP
(and tossed the other one in the alley)

but we finally figured out (corss fingers) what was bothering azrael.
Apparently she didn't care much for a covered kitty litter box. My guess
is she'd use it once or twice and find the smell and crampedness of it so
overwhelming that shes pee wherever she could in order to avoid going in
there. (she usually hit boxes and stuff and the sofa)

We took the lid off and started cleaning it out TWICE a wek instead of
once and so far so good -- she missed the box a few times, but that's a
lotbetter than losing 6 years of photography work.

of course there's always the method of clsing her out of all rooms but the
kitchen or something when she's unsupervised... but she made me feel too
guilty about that

Just one word of warning,(and I don't suppose this aplys to clothing),
dont wash things with cleaner that has amonia in it, as to animals it
smells just like someone elses piss so they will do it EVEN MORE to
defend and mark their teratory.

Yeah, the Dread Beast has had his moments of being, um, obstinate about
using the kitty box..

YES!! That was the problem with Beast. (Mind you, it was aggrevated by
the fact that the Beast is 2 &1/2 feet long, and 30lbs, so normal kitty
boxes were too small for him.)

I ended up getting one of the *HUGE* Rubbermaid giftwrap storage boxes to
use as a litter box. I use the clumping litter, and clean it out every 2
days. I haven't had a problem since.

For removing the urine smells, go to this webpage
http://WWW.Zmall.Com/pet_talk/cat-faqs/misc.html

that's the rec.pet.cats.FAQ page, and the URL is for the part that deals
specifically with removing pet odors. I haven't had the time to try any
of their suggestions yet, but I've been told they all seem to work!

if the corsets are washable, vinegar will take the smell out.
have you had the cats checked for urinary infections? sometimes antibiotics
solve the peeing in inappropriate places problem.
my cats have me trained not to leave things on the floor (although the
raccoon was much worse at peeing on anything that looked like papers on the
floor)
