Would I be able to tell if it was cat wee?

[Confuzzeled]

Me and ds (2yo) slept in the bed in the spare room last night as he's been waking up at night for the last week and I couldn't be bothered sitting in his room till he went back to sleep.

I got up with dd and he got up a while later, but I didn't see in the room till we all went back up the stairs an hour after.

There was a wet patch on the bed, on the sheet, it had a tide mark as it was drying round the edge and it was white. So first I thought ds must've been sick and it was a milky tide mark. But then when I was stripping the sheets, I found another wet patch on the pillow.

Neither wet bit smells of anything. I was thinking, if it was sick, I'd smell it, but if the cat had pee'd then maybe it wouldn't. But my mum thinks the cat pee would stink, it did the last time she did this. But she didn't pee on the bed, she would go on things on the floor, like my handbag or any piece of clothing or blanket on the ground.

She has a litter which is clean, she goes outside too, but hasn't been out as the weather has been terrible and she hides if I open the back door.

Really my question is, does cat pee always smell?

I find yes. Its a very distinctive smell that gets worse as it dries x

Your Mum's right. Cat wee stinks!!! I have a cat who keeps weeing on the dog's bed at the moment and I know as soon as I walk in the room that she's done it.

Yes-cat wee smells. Horrible.

The smell... I know from experience as our oldest cat went through a phase last winter during all the snow of not wanting to go outside to go to the loo (who can blame her?). It was awful.

It won't be cat wee but it could be cat saliva? Our long haired cat is occasionally sick because of fur balls and sometime she just pukes up saliva which is clear and not smelly, could this be it?

My old boy is currently weeing all the time, and I mean all the time, about every 10 mins, and the wee is basically water and barely smells. He's booked in at the vets at 4, as I think it might be a urine infection (he did exactly the same on Xmas Eve morning but then stopped in the afternoon so I haven;t taken him in. He's generally ailing, as per my other thread, so I don't know whether this would happen to your cat?
