Dam Cat!!!!

Only by about 5 years. It was more a comment about her than the age. She is very naive and sheltered. I still get about 10 forwards from her a day and she is still waiting on her check from Bill Gates for forwarding his email to all her friends. Apparently everything in an email is true, which is very scary and we are trying to bring her up to speed on some stuff.

Yeah I know of what you speak, my mom has finally realized she is not getting a check from Bill Gates and I only get one or two forwarded email a day from her. I tried to turn her onto to snopes.com but that was to much for her.

The talk about a cat peeing on wet things... I'm sure dive gear (wetsuits, booties, etc) isn't stowed away wet by aryone, right? Or am I just too by the book making sure all of my stuff is dry and stowed according to manufacturer's suggestion? Maybe we're just talking about regulators and non-neoprene things.

I don't think it matters who pees in it, that stuff REEKS, and stowing it wet would only make it worse

I work for a Company that sells a urine odor encapsulant.
We sell this stuff to lots of schools & nursing homes around the country.
It's not cheap but it does work!

Wish I would have known that they like to pee on wet things, but still cant excuse it!

You are not out of the clear yet.... You beautiful GS female will have her own marking needs.

I would keep the gear out of the dog's range also. It is very typical for females, especially if she is intact, to mark things like a male dog. And cat urine is a great stinky thing to re-pee on.

Remember, you may not smell it and be offended by the smell any longer, but your dog's nose could still pick it up. Better safe than sorry, right?

Sink the Stink might work? Or Kill the Cat (the latest product from ACME. Tastes like tuna, works like antifreeze)

You can also put a little scented fabric softener in the fresh rinse water when you clean your gear. That will help get rid of the funky smell that may be attracting the cat in the first place.

Last year I went hunting for conch shells in Belize. All the shells I found, it put in my mesh bag and tossed in the kayak I was paddling about pst the reef. When I got back to shore and pulled out my shells, there was a gobie hiding in one of the shells...I got him back into the water while he was still gasping, but I had to wash the bag several times and leave out in the sun for about a week to get rid of the smell.
