The cat pissed on my range bag!

1. do not clean the bag
2. zip cat in bag
3. set bag outside for several hours.

Step 4, urinating on the bag with cat inside, is optional.


(Note: I am *so* totally kidding, I can't even bring myself to swat the roomie's dog on the nose like she says to when it's jumping)
 
Everytime there is a cat-bashing thread I never find it until it is 4 pages deep. I feel so left out.

Almost as agravating as the cats themselves. Almost. :cuss:
 
Oh by the way I am a pet therapist. If you like for the small fee of $129 per hour I can have a nice chat with your cat and see if we can come up with the problem. :D :D
 
I laughed my arse when I read the thread title ! Funny because I know how you feel. Whilst visiting my new GF's house I tossed my BRAND NEW LEATHER COAT on the floor next to her bed. I got a smelly surprise when I put it back on to leave ! A special trip to the dry cleaner's place neutralized it (mostly). I'll be the first to say "What the h3ll are you doin' throwing a leather coat on the floor dipstick !" Anyway, here's to hopin' you get your range bag cleaned ! heheheheee ! :p

P.S. I'm not much of a cat guy, I just tolerate them for this awesome girl I really like ! She may be bluffing,. but LOVES to go on the range/ dinner date !
 
Find the cat and $hoot it.

Hmm. No. Not funny. I think you were making a joke but the tone was actually sort of innappropriate and crass. There is a thin line between twisted humor and tasteless sadism. This response crossed that line. Thanks for trying though.
 
Sounds like somebody's cat need an attitude adjustment haircut!!!!

Sheldon, I wouldn't turn my back on that cat. I certainly wouldn't sleep without barring the door.

That cat looks PISSED!
 
Had to do this a number of times, male cats seem to do it when they are not the dominant person around. We have one 22lb male woh doesn't because he knows he rules the other cats, the people, the dogs, etc. The cure may take several applications. Grab cat by scruff of neck, rub now squalling cat's face in cat pee, throw cat outside in the cold to think about its behavior.

Phase II? Reactive target.
 
Okay, Sheldon. That's funny. It's wrong! And I would venture to be very very polite to that cat for a long while. But it's still funny.
 
Feline Odor Neutralizer

Amadeus,

Here's the toll-free order line for purchasing FON - 1-866-838-6337. Or you can find a hundred places to order it on line by searching "FON and feline" in google or whatever.

Nature's Miracle works well, vinegar is ok, Odoban is better, but FON is the best I've found.

I second the idea of watching for other instances of inappropriate elimination - could signify urinary tract infection or crystals.

For all the cat-haters out there: The Big Cats are the ultimate Predators on this planet. They are the most accomplished Hunters and the most fearsome mammals around. Their small cousins reflect the grandeur of the larger Cats, are cheaper to feed, and don't wreck the house as badly as a tiger or snow leopard would.

My cats love guns. They are there when I clean guns, they are in the reloading room, batting cleaned cases around the floor while I load match ammo, and the way they watch the deer outside is the main reason the only loaded guns are in my immediate, positive control (i.e. holstered). There are no rats, mice, or significant bugs in my house or anywhere around it.

Cats are not rebellious, they are Free. They don't disobey rules, they know rules do not apply to them. They do what pleases them. When two or three park their furry selves in my lap, they're there because the choose to be - not because they need me to open a can. In a pinch, their claws can get through the aluminum modern cans are made of. They like the smell of Ed's Red, they like the smell of good gunleather, and they know they are worthy of respect. If more people thought themselves worthy of respect, there would be a lot less sheeple out there.

Purrrrs,
BobCat
 
I don't hate cats. I lived with them for years and no longer care to. Been there, done that.

I like other people's cats, on their property.

Very very well said, Bobcat. You capture much of my feelings toward cats. They're better than us. They know it! The big rule is -- we humans behave ourselves and no one gets hurt. That's what happened to my range bag. We screwed up. Not authorized! Now I have a bag that smells like solvent and urine. Hop-Pees.

By the way. I had my gear out last night getting ready for a weekend shoot. Each of the cats who passed the bag had to stop and sniff it.

And thanks for the advice re: odor nuetralizers. If I have time I will stop into petco tonight to see what's available.
 
Another vote for Nature's Miracle

I'm a real estate agent and pet urine odors/stains are a constant problem. One more vote for Nature's Miracle. FON is also good, but can be hard to find locally (if you can find it at all). Odo-Ban is mediocre, but more of a coverup than a neutralizer. Vinagar is useless, as is bleach. Soap and water are almost as ineffective, except to rinse away the ammonia salts that can cause the material to break down.

One comment - Nature's Miracle is citrus-based and has a trace of dissolved sugars in it. After using NM to your satisfaction, you will need to rinse the fabric thoroughly or it will attract dust and stains as bad as an oily rag does. If you have one of those portable home steam cleaners, even better.

So what you're advice? Use Nature's Miracle as directed and then drop the bag in the wash or just hose it off?
 
Either way will work. The sugars easily dissolve in water (warmer is better), so just a good soak in the bathtub or a trip under the vegetable sprayer in your kitchen sink is probably the easiest and fastest.

Or you could have it laundered and starched for that really spiffy formal look. :D

Sheldon, that pic brought tears to my eyes...because it was so hilarious. That has to be the funniest picture I've ever seen.
 
Oxy Clean

Sindawe gave good advice. One other thing that might work for you is Oxy Clean. I've used it to get cat pee odor out of a gear bag and rope. Let soak an hour or two. It even took the smell of old abalone out of a game bag.
Yesterday I found a pile of cat poop on one of my SCUBA fins! The smell of that even got into the plastic and rubber! $#%#@

Maybe I'm doing something wrong....

I got the Natures Miracle and applied it directly to the bag. Seems to work somewhat but every time I clean a section that smells I find a new spot that smells just as bad. :eek: :barf: Am I missing a step here? I have not put the bag in water yet. Something tells me the spot cleaning is not sufficient.

You guys think I should I just dunk the bag in Nature's Miracle followed by a plunge in a hot bathtub?
