It actually got years of dried up, caked on cat pee out of some furniture I inherited. I don't know how it would work on paper, but it might be worth a shot...<br /><br />(My dad once had a cat pee on the paperwork for his taxes.

It's been about 12 years now and the yellow stains remain, but no lingering scent. I've loaned it out a couple of times and have chuckled to myself that the borrowers have no idea!<br /><br />In this case, perhaps you can scan all the pages when they are dry.
