A cat, a plan, a canal: Pataca! Wait, that's not a word. The Aristocrats!

[gement]

Thanks to everyone who offered advice both in comments and back-channel regarding our cat issue.

Planned order of operations, to be executed until smell is gone:
1. Pour one gallon of Nature's Miracle Cat Formula into the afflicted area. Place fans so it dries before it molds, even in Seattle in February. (Done.)
2. Borrow a steam cleaner (identified) and clean the area repeatedly with Simple Green. Again, place fans.
3. Take up the carpet with an experienced friend (identified), polyurethane the subfloor and replace the pad ourselves, estimated at $50.

In other news, I stayed home from work with a migraine today, argh argh argh, and thus will probably miss the Jason Webley event tonight. This does not change my homework, which is to write a cover letter extolling my virtues. Since I'm having trouble writing it myself, I'm having my excessively verbose protagonist write a letter about me, then translating it out of anachronistic aristocrat.

Oh man... I'd love to know the new name as well. I'm a huge fan of the product and was surprised when I was told that she'd used a quart of it already without success. I found it's also good for cleaning mildew in my shower, so even though I no longer have a cat, I'd still use the product.

Ooh, thanks! I was unaware of the formula change. I've poured a gallon of Nature's Miracle Advanced on the area, if that doesn't do the trick I'll pick up some of this stuff and see if it works better.
