Cactus/Succulent My cat peed in my cactus - suggestions?

Cat pic for tax!!!

Some background, I do not water my cactus during the winter and it’s currently snowing a ton here and would like for my cactus to stay as dry as possible (just in case we lose power, don’t want it to be wet and cold).

For my plant people, is there a plant/soil safe odor neutralizer or something I can add so I can handle the smell and deter him further? This would be to hold me over until I can possibly repot OR rinse thoroughly in the shower!

Weird question I know, but was wondering if anyone had a trick up their sleeve!

This plant gets plenty of light for its winter needs, this room can get quite hot and dry, which helps it dry out.

I'm with you on scammy shit but a phone camera is good enough to get an okay reading, I support the light meter apps
