...may have peed on my bed. I'm not real sure. I'm not quite sure it smells like cat urine. Now I'm paranoid because my sense of smell isn't very good, and I'm worried that there are spots I missed.
Anyway, I was sleeping and I realized Loki was licking and area below where one of my pillows was (not the place directly underneath). I moved closer and I could smell an odd odor. Now, I do drool and wondered if I had caused it, but decided no. I could smell the same smell on another blanket, too, but there weren't any stains that I could see. Except for Loki's saliva it was dry. I also wasn't sure if it was Loki's saliva I was smelling.
I figured it was just the saliva and turned over to try to sleep more. Then Possum came over, and I noticed he was licking the same place as well. So then I got up and took the offending sheet and blanket off the bed. I could smell the odor on the mattress and part of my feather pad, so I cleaned those parts.
Now I'm worried that one of my cats has a UTI or something, though they've been acting okay. I'm not sure when this happened since it was already completely dry, but I know I haven't smelled the odor before. It didn't seem like a large area. Could it have been just and accident? Like they were sleeping there, and accidentally wet themselves? Will cats lick places like this? Maybe one of them threw up, but it was just liquid? I tried a different brand of wet food last night. Maybe it didn't settle right.
This sucks. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on both.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
