Good luck! There is a lot of good advice here. Please keep us posted what you finally did. I hope you can find a cleaner. I would hate to have to cut out a piece and re-piece it! After treating and washing, hanging it outside couldn't hurt. You didn't mention if your cat is neutered. If not, it will really reduce the smell of his urine. Tomcat urine is very nasty. Sometimes neutering stops the spraying, but probably not if he is an older adult and is doing it because he is upset. I feel your pain as I have three cats who I love dearly. Thankfully they all get along and no one feels the need to "mark". Good luck again!

I TOO have had a cat problem.......one of mine, the great big black/white one (who should have been named Fat ALbert) has decided that he likes the carpet behind the couch in the den............as his private litter box......I was in there, thinking it sure did smell yuk and strange, and I started looking for whatever it was......yep, I found it alright.......so far, I have tried several things (like plastic bags, all over that carpet, cats hate that sound) and flea spray (they hate that too) but he still trys to go back there......any suggestions from anyone on this? he is fat and old, but he has never been a thin cat anyways (at least, not once he got rescured and gets plenty of food).

My DD has 13 cats - 6 inside and 7 outside.
I have had similar problems, and most recently, one of them peed on the satin choir stoles I was working on. Luckily it is costume satin and washable. I put in washer with All clear/unscented detergent, with a scoop of OxyClean and a 1/2 cap of Clorox 2 on permanent press. When finished, I held up and checked for cat smell. Had none (if there had been any smell, I would have done process over until no smell. You do not want to put in dryer until all the smell is gone) so put in dryer with Bounce sheet and dried on permanent press. Worked fine and took smell all way out.
I have used this same method for 6 yards of batting, two table runners, and various pieces of fabric they have used for their busines over the past year or so. Alway's works. Thankfully they only do this occasionally, but still one too many times for me.
If I could only figure out how to get the smell out of the cutting mat now, I would have it made. Good luck.

soak it in cold water, use grandmas stain cleaner
take cat to vet, UTI it sounds like
then use BIZ on the spot and scrub with a toothbrush
that cant be used for anything else
wash well
see if you can smell it after it dries
if so rewash
so NOT DRY IN A DRYER
until it is smell free (if itsnt ever smell free, replace fabric and batting in that area) sorry
