Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I think it is totally hilarious that John posts a picture of the cat IN THE CASE.

Just seeing John post the word "pussy" on this forum was enough for me.ROTFLMFAO!

Sometime around 1980 I bought a tent. I set it up in a spare bedroom in my house to figure out how to set it up. A buddy of mine asked to borrow it for a long camping weekend. So, I took it down, packed it up and gave it to him. He and spouse went off to a rain soaked weekend in Wisconsin. Upon his return, he was quite upset. Apparently my cat had claimed the tent as his own, and marked it so while it had been set up in my house. So my buddy spent a rain-soaked weekend in a tent that reeked of cat urine. I can't count the number of times i've washed and cleaned that tent. But on a humid day even today, over twenty years later, it still smells like that cat. The cat is gone but his scent remains. No one has ever asked to borrow my tent again.

Burn the case. It's toast. It will never be the same no matter what you do. Yeah, i've tried em all. Formula X, Enzyme this and that. Yer wasting your time. Get another one. And keep your guitar cases closed.

I once broke the driver's window in my old Grand Prix in February late at night. Then I put my car cover on 'til I could get the window replaced the next day before work, but it rained that night, then froze in the morning, so the car cover was stuck to the ground. I had no time so I had to rip the thing to get the car out & the window fixed. I just bundled up the cover & put it in the corner of my open back porch. When I got back later that day a cat had peed all over the cover so I just threw it out in disgust. Talk about rotten luck!

Sounds like Neil Young ,lyrics.

"The cat is gone but his scent remains"

Ya know cats just LOVE the taste of Prestone antifreeze. And they'll never want to pee in your guitar case again!
Seriously though, thats rotten luck. I hope you have some luck getting that scent out. My wife has a cat she loves more than she does me. I just try to keep him away from my cases and guitars.

My cat decided to use one of my acoustic guitars as a launch pad to get up to the windowsill 3 days after I bought it brand new and had it sitting on a stand. There are still 3 little claw marks right by the electric / acoustic volume controls.

My wife has a turn of the last century grand piano. We spent a fortune to have it rebuilt and refinished awhile back. Imagine the scene when she found long, deep cat scratches across the polished top about a week after it returned from the shop.

She's never referred to it as anything else other than "Furry *******" since.

Ouch ......

There's a wonderful little book published in the UK .."101 Uses For a Dead Cat" !!!

John, your cat must meet this guy (Mike Myers as the Fat *******) They share the same last name.

LOL!! Hahahahahaha!!

They must all be related to the cat that peed in the Rickenbacker case.... 'Stinkin' *******'!

Aw, but . . . kitten! That white cat is so adorable!

Sorry, I have a soft spot for cats. Even the ones that destroy everything and then scratch you when you scold them for it. One of my cats decided to pee in my gym bag that I used during my high school rowing regattas. I pulled it out of the closet and BAM! We soaked it for hours in a sink of hot water and soap, and I had to use a different bag.

I understand what you mean Bobcat

One of my cats scratched his teeth against the neck of my Dean acoustic bass...

I feel it every time I play... But still, I have 6 of those monsters, so I'm not complaining...

This is the first thread in weeks that have made me laughing out loud!!!!!!!

Saw this at the store and thought of this thread immediately...
