| So the cat peed on Tax Deduction the Elder's Halloween costume. Yeah, that's pretty much the whole story right there. (Yes, I was supermom and I saved the costume and didn't even kill the cat, although that last was a close one. This is a costume that can't be washed -- in fact, it specifically says on the label in all caps DO NOT WASH, DO NOT DRY CLEAN. So I soaked it in a sinkful of soapy water and I scrubbed it, and then I rinsed it and rinsed it and rinsed it, then wrung it out and draped it out to dry. Today it's dry and it smells fine. Which is good, because we bought the damn thing a month ago, and if we first had to get a new Halloween costume the day before the holiday, no one would have been happy.) Sigh. |

OMG! That poor kid!!
What is he going as?
Baking soda will help neutralize the smell, btw, if it ever comes back. Mix some with water and dip or spritz lightly. :-)
If he had been going as a hobo, I would leave the pee smell on it!
I like authenticity...
Was he wearing the costume when the cat peed on it? Because that would have been hilarious.
I'm impressed. I had to discard what my cat peed on...Wonder if not discovering it for a couple of months had anything to do with that?
Dead cats make for delightfully spooky decorations. Just sayin'.
i have a kitty that pees on blankets. I think its the litter box myself
Oh my goodness...that really stinks. What a good Mom to get the costume fixed.
I know all about the dangers of waiting to long to buy a costume. Last year, I was really not prepared for Halloween and we waited until a few days before to buy the 10 year old daughter's costume. Which ended meaning that we had to go to Hot Topic to find her a costume after checking all the other stores. A ten year cannot possibly find an appropriate costume there. So we ended up with the cheerleader costume but had to buy leggins and a long sleeved shirt to wear underneath it.
Way to go SuperMom!
Heh. He's a swamp creature. So maybe the smell would have been okay to leave in...
