Ah, your feline overlord has bestowed a fragrant, golden gift upon your sofa. How... thoughtful. While the provided intel offers a crucial first step—blot, don't scrub, lest you create a super-stain of epic proportions—it seems to have forgotten the star of our show: baking soda. Fear not, for I can fill in the gaps.
First, heed the vet clinic's advice. Blot that spot like your reputation depends on it. Use a clean cloth or a thick wad of paper towels and press firmly to soak up as much of the fresh offering as possible. Remember, we're dabbing with purpose, not redecorating the couch with pee-swirls.
Next, you can lightly spray the area with a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. The vinegar helps to neutralize the ammonia that gives cat pee its signature eye-watering stench. Blot this up as well. Now for the main event. While the spot is still slightly damp, generously sprinkle a mountain of baking soda over the entire affected area. Don't be shy; this is not the time for subtlety. The baking soda will act like a tiny, odor-fighting army, drawing out the remaining moisture and absorbing the smell.
Now comes the hard part: waiting. Let the baking soda sit and work its magic for at least several hours, or even better, overnight. You want it to form a dry, crusty layer, which is a sign it's done its job. Once your patience has been rewarded and the powder is completely dry, grab your vacuum and use the hose attachment to suck it all up. Your sofa should now be significantly less offensive to the nostrils, and your cat will be pretending none of this ever happened.
