AHHH! Nothing Like the Fresh Smell of...

BURNED CAT URINE 

A few minutes after I put chicken cutlets in the oven, and started cooking noodles and broccoli on the stove, the most vile smell imaginable began wafting out and filling the house. It was like a skunk, but worse.

I turned off the stove, as that was the obvious source, and looked inside the burners. One of my cats apparently had the bright idea to pee on the burner. There was still a yellow puddle in the drip pan. Absolutely horrible. Dinner went into the garbage, and we ordered Chinese take-out.

I think I know which cat it was (I have 6). He hasn't looked very well lately, losing weight and acting lethargic. So it may well be a distress signal, rather than just being obnoxious. None of them have done this before.

I can still smell it. Nasty.
