I am so sorry that happened to you. I can't tell you how much stuff I have had ruined by cats. My daughter is a cat lover. Just put it aside a couple of days and then see if you can't fix it some how. Bless you.

Been living with indoor cats for we will not discuss how long. I have had the experience of an otherwise entirely dependable cat getting into medical problems and urinating somewhere I would come across it. It was the way the cat told me about the difficulty and asked for help.

For your peace of mind and to make sure just what is really going on, please consider taking the cat to the vet.

I agree with w1613s. The cat is wanting you to notice something. With our girl cat, she objected to sharing a litter pan with her brother. We had to keep two litter pans so she wouldn't urinate where she shouldn't. That cat is telling you it needs help.
Pet stores carry effective products that remove the cat urine smell. Many are around $10.
Your quilt is colorful and will be loved!

I wouldn't use fusible fleece, I'd use batting tape an batting.

The pink and green quilt turned out nice.

If the cat is normally well-behaved - for a cat, anyway - try to forgive it.

Yikes! What a situation! I love cats, but NOT their pee on anything in the house. I wonder what that cat was reacting to when it smelled your quilt.
I do like the idea of inserting the iron on batting in the area that has thinned out. I've actually had a situation where I had to do that, (not from a cat!), and it turned out just fine.
I would make sure the door to your sewing was shut from now on...........can't let that happen again!

Great save! Beautiful quilt! Hopefully your husband will understand the need for silence!

Too late now, but I would have soaked up what I could with paper towels and let it dry, finished the quilt, then I would clean the spot.

Sorry to hear this!!! I have pieced Hobbs 80/20...........I do longarming and the batting got run over by my stool (castors) and I had a big hole in the batting ........right in the middle!!! I pieced the batting in -- kinda just laid it on and quilted (praying the whole time)...and you couldn't tell when I was done. I pulled on the cut edges to make them feather out so there wasn't a hard edge.
