Cleaning a cat-peed leather jacket?

iftheaccidentwill — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:10:36 -0800

Cleaning a cat-peed leather jacket? I just returned home from a Scrabble tournament to find my leather jacket on the floor. My fears were confirmed when I picked it up and noticed a certain... waft to it.

How can I clean this without ruining the jacket? There are no tags on the inside with cleaning suggestions. If possible, I'd love to avoid sending it to a dry cleaners (I was quoted 50$). If I have to go that route, will they get the stench out?

pissing on Apple's logo

I'm looking for a picture of a person pissing on Apple's logo. Something more or less in the type of this. Thanks in advance.

Um, so, last night I kinda peed the bed...

Um, so, last night I kinda peed the bed... ...certainly never done it before. At least since post-infancy.

I was having a somewhat strange dream-- not really a nightmare, but one with some ominous elements. In the dream, I went to the bathroom, and then I peed a little bit, but then woke up immediately. There was very little urine, and I wasn't even certain that it had happened until I got up and went to the bathroom and checked.

What causes this? I've heard of it being stress or alcohol related. I wasn't drinking that night. I am a 27 year old woman in good health. I've definitely been under some stress lately, a lot of it "good stress," but not anymore so than usual. I tend to be a bit of an insomniac, and I haven't been sleeping very well lately. I have no history of urinary problems. I've never even had a UTI.

What does it mean? What should I do? I know YANAD, but any experiences or insight would be appreciated.

Pissing Puking Furball I Love So Very Much

Ambrosia Voyeur — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 18:00:05 -0800

My cat is being a neurotic asshole, spewing noxious fluids. Please help. Okay so I get home today from five days out of town and find that my cat (I have two, but I am confident it is just my Stripey Guy, 6 y/o) has pissed on ALL my living room furniture. Two easy chairs and a couch. Also some pretty copious vomit on the floor. No hairballs, just a bellyful of vomit.

This is clearly behavioral, and I need training tips.

He has peed inappropriately before, but usually only if his litter was left too dirty, and then in whatever soft pile of fabric he can find. Once he peed on my friend's feet as they slept in a sleeping bag.

I think presently he's freaking out because we have a housemate now, who, I take it, just took off to stay with his mom rather than clean up after this in our absence. I don't know how much their relationship is an issue, but suffice it to say, he keeps his bedroom door closed because his laundry is, historically, pee target #1, and he doesn't really like cats. I think the neurotic cat knows and is hurt by this. Hey, we all overanalyze our cats.

So, we take off, housemate stays, and Stripey Guy goes on a pissy party. He never freaked out pissing in our absence before, when we didn't have a housemate.

- How can we ensure this doesn't happen again?
- Is the vomiting also behavioral?
- Can/Should we shut him in our bedroom? Is that too little space for a 13 lb cat for several days? We might be able to blockade him in our bedroom suite which includes the laundry room where he usually eats and a small bathroom.
- Do we need to arrange a pet sitter to change his litter and/or give him attention while we're away? (He's very timid.) Would that be helpful for the whole-house scenario, or just for the restricted-range plan?
- Do we need to try to make my housemate and cat friendlier? That sounds embarrassing.
- Are there "fuck off, cat" sprays that work for furniture?
- What DO I DO?

PISS LASER!

PISS LASER! How to use urine most efficiently in carving of urinal cake? In one of those quixotic quests to amuse myself in an office building, I've been attempting to piss in the same place into a urinal cake every day, hoping to carve a hole through. But lately, the sheer numbers of people pissing in another, more obvious place on the cake (I picked mine because it was accessible and unlikely to be hit by as many confounding streams) have been digging deeper and faster than I have.

There have to be tricks of angle, or of motion, that will allow me to cut faster with roughly the same amount of urine. Should I be trying to hold steady on a single point, should I be attempting to hit it head-on, should I be attempting to change the chemical composition of my urine? What are the secrets used by miners with high-pressure hoses?

(PISS FILTER) A guest just relieved himself on my futon. Happened within the last hour, I'm so mad I can hardly contain myself. I stripped the bed and promptly threw the blankets in the wash. However the mattress has been soaked through. Besides burning the futon, what are my options?

How do I make my bladder not piss me off so much?

aussicht — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 11:34:22 -0800

When I drink comparable amounts of liquid as my friends (smaller or larger) I have to urinate much more frequently. It is annoying on car trips, in big cities, or other places where I have to hold out and others don't seem to have as much problems. Are there ways to strengthen my bladder or fix this?

P.I.I. (pronounced "pee") is Real!

Attention: Urologists! Is there a name for the phenomenon where you have to pee, but you can still hold it awhile... ...but then as you get closer to home (or some other place/facility where you know you'll be able to relieve yourself), the urgency with which you need to pee increases greatly and suddenly and chronologically disproportionate (meaning, if you weren't physically near your place of relief, you could hold out much longer)? If not, I propose "proximity-induced incontinence."

Piss On You, originally what?

Was Dave Chapelle's R. Kelly "tribute" song, "Piss On You" based on an actual R. Kelly track? I know that the "Piss On You, Remix" is based on "Ignition Remix", but I'm interested in the non-remix version.

thanks.

Stained Wood Floor

Cat urine and wood floors? Our cat didn't like our new house and left a mark that burned a spot in our wood floor. Any ideas on how to take the stain up?
