Today, my husband thought it was the best idea ever to clean the cat's litter box with the brand new vacuum cleaner instead of tipping it into a bin bag. My house now fills with the smell of warm cat piss every time I hoover. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I discovered that you should always check the litter box before vacuuming stray litter outside of it after my cat burst out from the box mid-piss and skittered around the house still pissing after I put the vacuum hose behind the box. FML
Today, my husband was coming back after three weeks away for work. I was ready to surprise him when he walked in, but the cat took a foul shit in the litter box and the smell stressed me out so much that the first thing he heard was, "Clean the cat box!" FML
Today, I went to clean my cat's litter box, not realizing she was in it. As I lifted the top half of the litter box up, she sprayed me with piss. FML
Today, I came home after a short trip. Walking through the door, an overpowering smell indicated that in my rush to leave I'd forgotten to bring the cat litter tray indoors. The place was covered in cat urine. It was as if I'd created a cycling ecosystem of evaporated urine turning into urine rain-clouds. FML
Today, I can hardly enjoy my food because of the reek from the cat's litter box under the bench. Poor cat, you might say, serves me right for not cleaning the litter box? Actually, the box is clean. What smells disgusting is the scented cat litter I bought because there was nothing else available. FML
Today, my cat decided the perfect place to throw up was on herself. Cleaning a smelly old cat with a showerhead is trouble enough, but when she tried to escape, it resulted in the bathroom being turned into one big puddle. FML
Today, I came home from a two-week vacation. When I walked into my house, I found cat poop everywhere. It took me several hours to clean it all up, and the house still smells terrible. The worst part is that I've never owned a cat in my life. FML
Today, I can tell that my cat comes from a household were there was not much cleaning being done: The vacuum is a monster to be fled from, while the mop and the lint brush, as well as any cleaning rag, are brazen intruders to be vanquished. FML
Today, my husband and I cleaned our house. We swept, mopped, vacuumed, dusted, and scrubbed. We moved the furniture and got in the cracks. We were extremely thorough. At 9 p.m., our cat had diarrhea and he got it all over himself. He didn't know what to do, so he ran through the house, spraying poop everywhere. FML
Today, I bought my cats two new litter boxes in hopes that they would use them. They still prefer to pee on the clothes in my closet. FML

That’s a good excuse to hire a maid — and a side piece in case you want to procreate. You don’t want to pass dumbass genes on to your kids.

Doesn’t always work. Been there myself. Cleaning everything with white vinegar helped a lot. That can get the smell of cat piss out of anything.

So what your saying is, if I vacuum up a Cinnabon roll, I get to smell a delicious pastry every time I vacuum?!

Replace the filter. Take apart what you can and soak the bin in hot water/vinegar (vodka also works to get the smell out) If you can replace the filter then soak it in that cleaning mixture too. Let it all air dry outside! Hopefully it works out

I want to add: make HIM clean the filter. I hope this is not representative of his general state of mind because that's just awfully dumb lol

Nothing like the smell of hot piss to wake up your sinus in the morning.

Clean every part of the vaccy with an enzyme cleaner; the head, hose, dust compartment: just anywhere it was possible for cat litter to touch- look out for components that need to be unscrewed to clean properly (i have a couple of sneaky ones in my own vacuum) and replace the filters. Air dry then wipe over with vinegar/disinfectant and air dry again. If there's still a smell after you clean it, suck up a box of bicarb, let it sit for 24 hours and clean it all over again.
