Alruhl, I believe urine is a base, not an acid. The best counteractant for cat piss accidents is white vinegar (acetic acid) - it cancels the ammonia smell (tossed cookies are another matter entirely). Wouldn't recommend someone go slathering it on their circuit boards, though. One question for you guys having these problems - where in the hell are you displaying your gear? On the floor? I've had cats my whole life, and the only place they ever perform the technicolor yawn is on the ground. (BTW, how many of you have ever tried to come up with your own euphamisms for vomiting? Back in high school, this activity [the naming, not the vomiting] became something of an obsession in my crowd - the best candidate I ever coined was 'inspecting the shrubbery', to be used at parties, as in "Hey! Where'd Zaikesman go?" "Uh, I think he's outside inspecting the shrubbery!" Good times.)
Inexpensive tweak
Just got back from a business trip to find that our cat had thrown up on my Audible Illusions preamp (unfortunately vented on top). Everything was dried up. Haven't looked inside yet. Not sure how to clean a circuit board. But I've noticed that my system is more revealing than before. I won't share details of exactly where on the preamp my cat got sick because I might want to try to market this tweak sometime in the future. :-)
