Citrus, Karl. Squirt lemon juice liberally over the contents of your tubs.
Cats are repelled by citrus. And by chance if it doesn't work, you'll be
none the wiser. The citrus will neutralize the cat pee odor and you won't
be able to tell where that pesky corrosion is coming from.

I've separated all my tool steel stock into small piles and put them in
plastic tubs that are about 10" wide by 18" deep and 6" high. In turn,
these tubs are placed anywhere there's an empty spot under something.

Last week, I noticed water in the bottom of my A2 tub. WTF? The metal had
REALLY corroded bad. Stunk too. So I pressure washed it out, dried in the
sun and sprayed down with LPS.

This morning I walk down, and a different tub has liquid in it. One sniff
told me the source. SOCKS! My SO's favorite cat. If I tell my honey to
choose between Socks and me, I'll be a lookin' for a new place to live.
The shop is his place, he allows me in if I keep fresh food and litter
boxes.

So what could I put in the tubs to either make the cat not pee there
(impossible I think). Or something to keep my stock from corroding to
death when he does his thing next time?
