Arrgh.

One of the cats has suddenly, at the age of six years, taken to urinating on our bedding. The first time we thought it was a fluke, and we needed new pillows and comforters anyway, so green_trilobite bought us some really nice duvets, etc -- which the tiny lion promply inaugurated. Sigh. I'm expanding the litter box area (i.e. buying a second one) in the hopes that might solve it; otherwise we take him to the vet to check for bladder problems.

Last night I discovered that trying to wash a duvet in the laundry-room washer doesn't work; it leaves the mechanism no room to turn and you just wind up with a wet, soapy, unrinsed and unwrung duvet. I also discovered that trying to wash the duvet in the bathtub isn't a good idea either, and that a king-sized duvet can hold more water than I am able to lift.

Laundry advice

[(Anonymous)]

For anything approaching that size you need to go to a coin-laundry with one of those ultra-big machines that you can wash your boat tarps in. They have the submarine-type doors on the front and are either labeled "KingSize" or "4-load". I know of two here in the Junction, one over at Victoria Park and Danforth and one at Keele and Eglinton but nothing about your end of the woods.

I figured :)

We've got one of the giant-bin laundries across the street; it's just that it was late at night. If it happens again (which it hasn't, fortunately) we now know to tie it up in garbage bag and LEAVE IT TILL MORNING. We have a spare comforter.
