My Single Mom Life: No sleep even if I wanted it.

No sleep even if I wanted it.

I finally decided at 6am that I would try and get some sleep before the turkey cooking began, so I went into crawl in bed and laid smack on a wet spot.
Of kitty pee.
Kali is seriously, literally, pissed off about the stray cat in her home and she will NOT tolerate the stray on HER bed.
So, she peed on it.
Thank goodness that I bought that waterproof/allergen proof padded mattress cover earlier in the year, or else that pee would have gone straight down into my mattress and the smell would have never come out.
It was still soaking wet, so I grabbed the sheets, blankets, and the mattress cover, and ran them to the washing machine.
I put in an extra helping of laundry soap and a full cup of febreze in the rinse cycle cup, along with 1 full cup of baking soda mixed in with the wash.
This does work, all of the cat urine smell comes out using this method, I know because Kali did this when we got Shahiro too.

All the new kitties we've ever gotten, Kali marks my bed as hers, if she so much as sees another cat aside from her and Nova get on it and sleep on it, or sleep with me, she pees on it to warn them that it's her bed, I'm hers, lay there again and die.
So once the washer stops, I'll give them another quick shot of febreze, and then throw them in the dryer before putting them back on my bed.
As soon as the washer is done, I'll go take a shower and get rid of the kitty pee smell from my skin.
I can't take a shower while it's running because I'll get blasted with cold water when it goes into the rinse cycle, and hot water while it's in the spin cycle.

Oh well, I gotta start the turkey soon anyway, so sleep?
Psfffht!
Sleep is for the weak.
