just as I'm going to sleep...

End of a long day. Up earlier than usual, in to the office early (but later than I meant to be). Had to be at a meeting for work, wear a suit, talk. Slightly stressy as I got to the meeting late. Worked for a solid 9.5+ hours, taking very little time off for web surfing or emailing. Come home drained. Dinner, a little hanging out with the housemates, dozed off in front of the telly. Got up, gave the cats treats, made a cup of tea, off to bed. Settling in with the tea and a book and... felt... a damp spot.

A large one.

In the middle of the bed.

Smelling of cat pee.

*UNDER* the covers. So it's soaked into the mattress.

So much for sleep...

Maybe when I move I *won't* take cats with me...

EDIT: My mistake. NOT under the covers. THROUGH them. Duvet cover, topsheet, totally soaked. I'm thinking of throwing the duvet out at this point, as this is the second time. And that would be the second duvet.

EDIT: Well, an hour and a half later, I'm completely awake, the bed is fully changed (after I sprayed the mattress with cat-pee killer), and the bedclothes are in the wash. Good thing I was already half thinking of taking the day off tomorrow.

I'm *seriously* thinking about life without cats.

One of my friends who has cats has a waterproof undersheet -

All of a sudden, you smell the all too familiar stench of cat pee. Yes, one of your cats peed in your bed. You swear at the world, but secretly thank the person who invented water proof mattress pads.

Yes, I have a waterproof mattress pad on the guest bed for this reason.
