After our flight had been delayed for 2 hours and knowing I had to work the next day at 3 am the next morning. When we got home all we wanted to do was bath the kids and go to bed. But Matt opened the door to the house and our 2 cats came running out. We immediately knew something was wrong. We peeked inside the house and all of the blinds were dishelveled. Matt went thru the entire house and there was nothing else out of place. Then we came to the conclusion the cats had been locked in the house the entire week. We then went thru the house to see how bad the damage was only to find that we had another problem. While we were gone there was a bad storm and flooded Gracie's bedroom! We ultimately found that the flooding was a blessing. The cats had only peed in Gracie's bedroom. With no other food or water in the house when it flooded the cats drank from gracie's bedroom. Also because they had limited food and water they didn't poop or pee as much as they normally would have. We spent the next several hours sucking up water and upacking. I finally got to bed about 1230. Because the carpet was so thick it has taken over a week with 4 fans blowing constantly. We cut out the pad knowing we would have to replace it either way and hoping it would get rid of the cat pee smell. After the carpet was dry we tried several different things to get the cat pee out and ultimately decided to replace the carpet. It ended up being a $700 mistake but now we have new carpet in and are just working on getting gracie's room put back together and working on a solution to make sure it doens't happen again.
