Less Than 2 Wks Old - Initiated!

[Bellpa]

So my fiancee's cat decided to initiate my brandy new Laramie's leather rear seat...urine saturated her soft-sided carrier, into the seat cover and into the foam cushion.
I peeled back the cover to the best extent I could, sprayed and saturated the cover and cushion with an enzyme neutralizer from the pet store, allowed to dry and then put everything back together. I haven't had the truck for the past two days due to having the bed liner sprayed in and front two windows being tinted, but I'm hopeful the odor is not there when I pick it up. If so, I'll be shopping for a new rear seat!

Oh, the cat was not eaten with soy sauce...yet!

I told my girlfriend that the only number of cat's we're allowed to have is negative one, that way, even if she goes behind my back and gets a cat, we'll still have no cats. (I hate cats, I don't understand what people see in them)

 

[Bellpa]

Yeah, she was part of the package. I never had a cat prior to. I don't hate cats, I just don't like anything that does it's buisnass on my seats!

That would definitely have me furious.

In my most controlled manner, I was!

I told my wife our animals dont go in my truck. They haven't been in any of my prior trucks either. All animals go in her car.

I would be livid. I don't even allow take out in the truck. All smellables go in the bed, period.

After having my sister's cat pee on the seat of my rockin' 1997 Corolla back in the day in a situation identical to yours, I instituted a policy moving forward that cat carriers would only be placed on the floor with a towel under them. The towel and all weather mats mitigated two more pee incidents, but I've fully prevented those sorts of situations in the past few years by not having a cat at all...

This is what RamBox's are for.

A good reason to avoid soft carriers - a plastic carrier would have averted that problem.

I know a thing or two about cats...and they are paying for my truck

The soft-sided carriers are easier to top load a cat with claws versus stuffing them through a door hole. That I have experience with also, hence the soft-sided top-loading carrier! LOL.
Lessons definitely learned... Cat carrier goes on the rubber floor mat for all future trips. The Ram is our mode of transport to camp every weekend.

This one looks interesting, and scary at the same time! https://www.autogeek.net/odor-bomb-new-car.html

You are a good person. I have 3 cats (all rescues) and they are a part of our family. Cat haters are just mean (trying to be polite here).

Funny....cats are paying for your vehicle...and destroying mine. Any REAL and EFFECTIVE advice on keeping cats off my vehicles. They are destroying the finish. I'm building an extra garage/shop but it'll be months before it's done. My new truck arrives soon. You won't like my solution...neither does my wife. So, help me either save my marriage or my truck!

Get a dog...

I have a Pit Bull. He loves his cats. He hates my vehicles also. I'm headed to the body shop today to get some chew damage repaired on my Jeep which must be traded in as soon as my Limited 4x4 arrives in a few weeks.

I'm about done with critters.

dog and cat guy here. cat pee is the worst. hope he was able to get the smell out. i always use the hard plastic carriers. i'm with @ alacombe , i use my wife's GC for the trips to the vet. the only time i had my dog in my 13 ram was once a year when i took him to a vet up in PA which was a hour and a half drive. used 2 blankets for my seat, and as soon as i got home i cleaned and wiped my whole truck out.
