Hey, Mike

I'm no chemist, but it sounds like the ammonia in the cat urine reacted with
the finish somehow.  Sounds like you're in for a refinishing job, if just
putting up with it isn't an option.  Febreze is good at getting the smell
out, but I don't know of anything that will repair that kind of damage.
