Wow I don't think I want a cat. Thanks for sharing.

I am so sorry! I can only imagine what you thought when you made that precious discovery. My cat doesn't bother anything, but my dogs have a hearty party if they get into my craft room. They are a little afraid of the sewing machine and terrified of the serger, so they don't bother things around them so much. They sure do love to string out my nicely folded fabrics, though! Pets--gotta love them!

Beautiful quilt!! Sorry about the pee pee spot, I know you had to be furrious!! Oxy Clean and Vinegar did the job!? I really need to remember that! I have almost white carpeting throughout the house (not my choice, I rent!) and have one dog that has a pee problem from time to time....thanks for sharing and good luck on repairs.

I don't have any animals of my own but there are neighborhood cats. I had never thought of a screen door INSIDE the house. EXCELLENT idea.

Your quilt turned out very pretty!

I used to have indoor cats. When my female would pee in places that were not the litter box it was because she had an infection and needed meds.

I am a cat lover and do not allow my cats in the sewing room. Too much danger of eating threads/needles, and let's not even talk about hair and other undignified issues. Sorry kitty was so mean. Good luck - sorry I have no ideas. Get some Nature's Miracle - it is one of the enzyme killers.

None of my cats have ever peed on a quilt but, they are not past throwing up on them. Only one of them has done that, I think he was mad because our oldest Granddaugther went to Italy for a month. She lives with us and babies him and holds him, the cat threw up on her new quilt.

the cat may have been welcoming you! hard to believe but in most cases if a healthy cat urinates on a person or a person's belongings that smell like them, it is their way of letting you and everyone else, know that you are theirs. i had a rabbit that felt very strongly about me. enough said.

It must be a male cat? I"ve had both a male and a female and vow I'll never have another male indoor cat. Females are just so polite! (Mine is anyway, LOL)

My DSIL has a Cat that did the same thing only in Her basket of clean cloths. I love cats but don't want any inside.

My niece had a quilt ready to enter in a show and her cat threw up on it. Of course, that was the ONE time she did not prewash her fabrics. She had to remove and redo and barely finished in time for the show. Sometimes our furbabies are just too much trouble. The advice you have been given is good; use the fusible tape to fuse replacement batting in place.

How heart wrenching....currently do not have a cat, just a female dog who loves to lay on my pieces of I lay them on the floor or bed to decide on how I want my blocks to appear. Fabric that is valuable to us must have a specific pet-magnet scent to it.

When I was pregnant, one of my cats started peeing on my bed. The vet said it probably was in tune with my moods and hormones being wacky. I washed my bedding, and rehomed the cat. No regrets.

It's a female cat who had a litter of 6 on May 1 - so that may be part of the issue. I still think she's re-establishing her home base now that I'm home full time.

[QUOTE=Prism99;5270485]You can cut piece batting into or around the edges by using quilt batting tape. Cut out any damaged batting, cut a piece to fit, and use the batting tape with an iron to fuse the edges together. That way you keep the batting type the same throughout. I would not try to mix fusible batting with Hobbs 80/20. I would just piece so it is all Hobbs 80/20.

if you don't have batting "tape" just use plain ol' sheer fusible interfacing..though really, you don't NEED either...just slip the batting in when you are in that area ready to quilt!

you did right washing right away...
