Teak is one of the woods that need oil to preserve the finish. If the cat stuff left a stain in the wood you can mix equal parts baking soda and corn starch with a little water to make a paste and put on the stain until removed. Then teak oil several times to even out the color. If not to bad you can just use cornstarch dry over the stain. I hope you are lucky and no staining. Glenn
Glenn, you are such a wealth of info. I was lucky. I got to it in time. I used a mild paste cleanser and wiped it off. Let it dry, then used teak oil. It looks okay, a little lighter, but so faint you can hardly see it. I ended up oiling all the teak in the LR. What a job. But it needed it.
