Let me rephrase that. It needed to be changed, but in the morning, the dog threw up on it. By afternoon, the cat also puked on some clothes that were in the room. Hint, hint, trying to tell me something?
my smart cat?
I gave my cat years ago (who was a rescue from a friend moving to California) to mom and dad.My parents were in the beginning stages of a divorce after 20 years, and the resentments were flying!
Would you believe the cat picked up on dear-old-dad's evil vibe and puked only in his shoes, his pillowcase, his closet etc. I can't say he ever did antything outwardly nasty to the cat. Gotta gve her credit... she knew who to taget!
So Jerry... did you do anything to piss off your animals? But I'm sure your love them and they love you!

they're vindictive i tell ya
My cat puked all over my comforter just when i had put it on the bed from the dryer! She has done this on more than one occasion.
There were times i almost punted her little a## like a football. I am not cruel to animals though. I love em, but it is like taking care of children who never grow up. OY!

I was house/dog sitting in a beautuful large tudor home upstate in Westchester county (read: Money).
Checked with the home-owner who is a friend of a friend if I could wash the living room area rug @ the laundromat. (White wool FLOKATI.) Got clearance. Needed to do this to have the spouse join me (who is asthmatic and allergic to everything).
The biggest dog in the house was also the biggest wuss. He refused to go out in the rain to take care of business. The dog proceeded to have a huge dump on the rug just minutes after it hit the floor hot from the laundromat. Needless to say, he was let loose into the rainy yard just moments prior.
Why you ask? Apparenly from Max the dog's perspective, the rug is a huge piece of newspaper and the right place to go!
The homeowner, who is a shrink by trade, complemented me on my reasonong abilites. LOL
Althought mighty pleasing to fantasize about, the dog was not harmed, set-free from the yard or even reprimanded. LOL

That's EXACTLY what it's like, except that pets have the advantage of not talking back to you like children.

What I do...RE, Bedlaundry...........
For Brian and I's bed, bi-weekly- everything gets washed in hot, with cold rinses in the Frigidaire FL Set. Pillowcases, Sheets, Blankets, matress pad. We have a queen size pillowtop waveless waterbed so that's alot of fabric to clean. Every month- comforter, in cold/cold.
My dad, who lives with US now, has our old queen free flow waterbed downstairs does his own, whenever he feels the need to, or feels like it, ( every three weeks or so)...PS TOTALLY GROSS TO ME. However I did take over since he was ill last month I did all the changing of his sheets and pillowcases every day and washed them with HOT wash and switched the selector over to warm/warm for the rinses. Using bleach and extra detergent.
Martins youngest brother Andy lives with us in our garage apartment, he's 17 and has a bedwetting problem that is beyond any sane persons imagination, every night. I've had to rubberize the matress with a zippered matress pad, and rubberized pillowcases.
Thankfully he has the Westinghouse Space Mate Set right there he does his own, but I check daily when he's not there and at work to make sure there is no peebed left as I would flip out. So in that case daily for like 6 months now... My water bill has increased only slightly but enough to notice anyway.
I know TMI, but that's what we do for JUST bed laundry...aren't some of us insane when it comes to that...I love the smell of Downey sheets and blankets tho....

All kidding aside, 17y.o. and a yellow wet-spot may be medical. It might be worth getting looked at.
LOL and you beter PRAY Andy doesn't read this thread or your A@@ is grass!

Pat:
IIRC some fabric softeners have an ammonia type chemical in them. This registers to a cat as "pee" and "OK to pee here"
Cats dont like citrus.. maybe a white vinegar or a lemon additive to a 2nd rinse would cure kitty's desire to have you sleep on a wet spot!
Besides, the acid added to a base (alkaline) would certainly neutralize all remaining chemcicals.
Just my two cents..

OMG, you guys are making me feel like a slob! ;-)
I try to change the sheets every Saturday morning, if I think about it. I just have a bunch of crappy old colored sheets, and I like to mix and match to see what I come up with.
Since there is usually (at a minimum) a fat cranky old Siamese, a territorial Dachshund, and a nutcase Pomeranian in bed with me (hmmm, and I wonder why I'm still single? ;-) , I should probably change them more often, but that would be too organized on my part.
As for pillows, I keep them and the comforter in the closet in the daytime and make the bed up with a cool old fake fur leopard bedspread I found at a thrift shop. I don't know what it's made of, but I can wash that thing in hot water with bleach and it doesn't bat an eye. Love that spread.

Thanks Steve
Actually she doesn't pee on the comforter, she has thrown up a few times on it though. When i see that it makes me want to toss my cookies also. What we put up with for the love of our four footed friends.

OK sorry, ready for the old-age home. LOL
Slight difference between the "P" word from the mouth and the "P" word from the bottom.

A little more about true love
I know this is getting a little off topic,but speaking of love i find great comfort in this passage:
4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 corinthians 13:4-7.
It was on my heart to share that, have a great day all of Applianceville!

Stubborn beagle....need I say more?
The other day, my daughter did't eat more than 4 bites of a 6"
Subway Tuna sandwich. The dog got the rest. Guess where he decided to throw it up (the first time)? Under my bed. Gross!
Luckily, the second time, we made it outside. At least it wasn't on the bed!

I used to have a very loving and devoted tuxedo cat who slept in my bed with me. Of course, one morning when I was about seventeen I woke up in a bed full of cat vomit.
My mom has a rambunctious LhasaPoo (half Lhasa Apso, half poodle) that had an "accident" on her unguarded bed. In her words, "It clawed the quilt up in a ball and it p!$$ed on the ball!"
