any help is much appreciated

I'd take it up with the owner of the cat, and get a whole new cab out of them.

my misses is a lover not a fighter but i've said to her if i did ever catch it someone out there would be minus their pet (or bits of it)by the time i'd be finished with it.

i've just gently baby wiped the the dust cover over and over again i figured that it cant make it any worse and it smell alot better.now i'll leave it and check on it tomorrow

If it still smells once it's dried out, stand the cab on its back and sprinkle a good layer of bicarbonate of soda onto the cone. Leave it there overnight (or longer if you can) then suck it up with a vacuum cleaner. Should take the smell with it. If the cab's carpeted, try Febreze, but don't get any on the cones.

I doubt you'll ever totally get rid of the smell. On the upside I doubt you'll notice it in most typical rehearsal rooms or pubs!

Dettox might help.

thanks for that i'll give it'll go as its still there not as strong as before.on a brighter note while i was in speaker mode yesterday i stripped out my little practice amp that kicks around the front room and ive built it into the bottom of my tv/bookcase/wood store unit i built out of mdf with teak worktop i built a while ago to keep the misses happy so now it houses the modified combi tucked away behind its own door
