HELP!!! My 2 year old is ruining an expensive leather couch

Also, they are cold in the winter and look like 1980s bachelor pad.

and squeak when you sit on them, and stick to you in summer :-)


all I can say is you guys must have or have been exposed to some pretty cheap
leather furniture! Not cold, no squeaking, no sticking. Of course, I do have
heat and air conditioning, but still......

Nothing personal, but how much pee does you cat produce? I've had a cat
pee on a throw (long time ago, don't have those problems with either of
my cats now) and the tablespoonful of pee was easily absorbed by a
washable cotton throw. And I really am not sure I believe that every
single inch of the couch would have to be covered, surely the cat is
peeing on particular spots, like the seat or over one of the arms?

With that and a waterproof coating on the leather couch, this should be
manageable.

Way more than a tablespoon, I can tell you that! When Carey was on pred, it
was a ton. That has been reduced thank goodness. Still, a scoopable "pee
ball" is usually the size of say, a tangerine. They are fed canned food only
with water added, so they get a fair amount of water into them on a regular
basis.

And I really am not sure I believe that every
single inch of the couch would have to be covered, surely the cat is

Why would you assume that? And the seat, on a long couch, is a lot of area to
cover.

With that and a waterproof coating on the leather couch, this should be
manageable.

even the best "waterproof" coating on a leather couch, is not really
waterproof. It gives more time if caught right away, but if not (overnight,
when nobody is home) it can really sink in.

Ooo, yes, this last is the worst! You must live in a place with
hot summers, too.


No no - I understand that the *worst* is that some of them smell of cat-pee !!

No? Really? Whoopee! So?


Totally different!


No it isn't. The principal is the same.


Er, I think you need to reread Monique's post with your sarcasm

Pretty sure Phil caught my meaning, but he's had to deal with so many unwanted
pets and dumb people that he wants to be very explicit.

At least, that's how I interpreted his post.

Steve,

Your little pecker complex is showing again.

Don't mind little Stevie - Nit-picking is his thing. Its a compensation
thing.

When I was kid volunteering in a shelter in NYC, I always got a seat with
plenty of elbow room on the subway home thanks to odour de feline! LOL!
