Cat took a dump on my Display. What should I do?

I must be your neighbor.
But seriously, my dog only does this now when she meets people for the first time. She gets super excited around people but is terrified of other dogs.
Right here is where I call BS. No offense Shake 'n' Bake, but explain to me how your cat pooped on a vertical surface. Rubbing his ass up against the display seems to be an interesting idea if he were pooping right then and there.
This may be unsuitable for younger viewers. Discretion is advised.
It was more diarrhea than, say, a turd.
Honestly, I have used windex in the past on LCD screens with no harmful effects (but do not spray any liquids directly onto any electronics).
But it's definitely not the best thing for it in the long run.
As for how to fix the problem, get the pre-moistened alcohol swabs, use them to clean the screen, then use a damp lint free cloth to remove the alcohol, then dry it with a dry lint free cloth, it may take a few sessions to remove the smell completely, but it should do the trick without damaging the screen, please note the damp (not dripping wet, just slightly damp) lint free cloth is important and be sure to use new lint free cloths (or clean them) for each cleaning session.

Everything seemed to have came out just fine, or the OP wouldn't have a problem.
Sounds fishy to me. Anyone that has a cat knows they'll never crap on hard surfaces unless they have a rare medical condition. They're solitary animals that prefer to do things discreetly then cover it up.
Either this cat is a kitten learning the ropes, or the thread is fake.

I thought more or less the same thing - your cat might be ill.
I seem to remember reading they only use the litter box unless something's wrong (but maybe cat owners can correct me here).I thought more or less the same thing - your cat might be ill.
That sounds about right. The reason we found out our cat had cystitus was because we was peeing in weird places. The vet said that they do it because they associate the pain with the litter box.
I couldn't think of any worse than ruining my life by having a child but I love my cat.
funniest thread ive ever read
was your cat trying to do this?
No, but the younger two of the cats in the house sometimes like to chase the mouse.
I doubt it. Everything (for the cats) is back to normal. I think she got scared or angry and decided to dump on something. I'll get some display cleaner later today if it doesn't cost too much.
The same night, at like 1:30 AM, I stepped in some freshly prepared cat puke. Tasty!
I'm surprised this thread went for three pages.
I thought I'd get half a page worth of smart aleck replies.

I don't want to attack anyone here, but I really don't like how animals are treated as property.
