I brought a bike and trainer to my parent's house so I could train during a visit. Their dog started barking when I got into some hard/short interval work. I think she thought I was in distress and was trying to alert the rest of the family. She's since learned it's okay and no big deal.

You just need to urinate all over it yourself to establish it as your territory.

I once had a roommate that my cat didn’t care for.

I ride behind the couch with my laptop sitting on top the couch. My cat will sit next to the laptop and look at me like I'm an idiot for riding indoors. She gives me the same look when I'm washing dishes or shaving, so there's that.

I'm not a "ride indoor on a trainer guy" either.

Smart cat.

Ah, but have you seen the look on her face when you're riding outdoors?

We had a cat named Mavic (yes) who would sit on my wife's back while she was working out on the computrainer.

At the time we also had a cat named Campy.

Its possible static build up from trainers pisses of some cats...and dogs.

Cat Pee

This is the stuff for cat pee- https://www.scoe10x.com/reviews/?gcl...SAAEgLeLPD_BwE

Ask me how I know-

A couple years ago we had a 16 year old cat. Poor guy was on his last legs. He used to hang out up in our attic.
He started peeing up there (unbeknownst to me) on my Evoc bike bag.
We had to put him down in the fall- but never knew about the pee.

In January, we were going to Hawaii- Day before the trip I pull out the bike bag. Evil smell of cat urine. But I was under the gun- Figured I would sort it out while in Hawaii.
Every day of the trip, I sprayed the bike bag down with some sort of cleaner and then put it in the sun to dry.
This slightly reduced, but did not eliminate the odor.

I looked online and found the stuff mentioned above. Figured I would try that before I threw it away or tried to get $50 for it on Craigslist.

To my surprise- It worked. Totally neutralized the cat urine scent.

I wonder if the smell kept TSA at bay? They didn't play with my bike in either direction.
