Wash it twice. Once in a pet urine removal detergent from the pet store and then in a regular enzyme detergent. That'll make sure there is no 'hidden' scent that will prompt some future cat use plus make sure there are no lingering bacteria that will spread or harm some future handler. Or just make your cat a quilt for Christmas. :lol:

Cat urine is one of the most difficult odors to completely remove. I would definitely use something like OdorzOut or NokOut in the wash water. Here are some links:

I always prewash. For some reason, I didn't prewash the fabric for the napkins that I was making. My iron dribbled a little water on one napkin as I was pressing it. And wouldn't you know, the fabric bled.
I will never not prewash again.
