I live with 2 cats and 2 dogs. . . My discovery . . . if I buy some fleese and make mats with it and add a bit of fiberfill in it and then stuff it in an old box . . . .whaaalaaa they go for the box with the soft cushie fabric and stay out of the rest of the cotton I have. I just move those boxes around every once in a while so they have a bit of variety to their resting places. A patch of sun or a sunny window does wonders for a wondering cat or a chow chow. I haven't had problems with them peeing in my fabric now because I clean out the litter box 2 to 3 times a day. Contrary to popular belief cats as well as dogs . .pick a place they like to go and keep going back to it so if you make that place feel clean . .(like you like your bathroom) they will gravitate toward that instead of picking their own spot. . .also. . .they are temperamental and if they feel you are ignoring them they will get even . . .just a cautionary word.

Oh such a dear cute sweet face that little dog has, you can't be angry with him long, I'm sure.

I would guess that from now on you'll be prewashing your fabric before cutting it, just in case.

Not sure, be thinking dog pee doesn't smell as bad as cat pee ... just yucky all the same.

When my DD's family was staying with us a few years ago he cat peed on my pile of brand new fabric I had just bought. She then decided to pee on my new ironing board cover, :evil:

I have to agree w/ "peace and joy" No way would I put up w/ that!!! I love animals but not untrained ones in the house.

My son had a shephard that wouldn't think of going potty in the house. But...he chewed the buttons off of every shirt that Mike left on the floor! I laughed up my sleeve on that one! I know from ancient history about the smell and the job of getting pee out of fabric (curtains anyone?) :hunf:

Baby diapers got washed and were used again. (Back in the day - - - )

Urine from cats and dogs will come out of washable fabric.

Annoying, but really - it isn't the end of the world.

Still finding little gifts they left. i asked the vet and he said nothing stops some cats from doing this. We are sealing the floor from all the cat stuff left in that room.

Try using vinegar on the fabric. It may take a few washings, but it should come out. In fact, the more vinegar in the water, the better. It worked on my carpet. AND... the cat hasn't peed there since.
