I have easily detected urine spots in homes weeks after the cat has urinated. Looking at the carpet or porous floor with your Flir will allow you to identify these areas easily.
Pics or it didn't happen. I never thought I would be interested in someone else's cat's urine
You want radiometric images to prove this? It is common knowledge that thermal imagers can easily detect moisture due to temperature changes. In fact, home inspections are often conducted with thermal imagers to detect dampness and moisture problems. Certainly, if you want to see some cat urine images, I can post a few!

I've used a cheap blacklight torch that I bought for HVAC repair on my car to detect mouse urine in my mums house who had a mouse infestation. It really glows! Does feline pee show up the same? My dogs wee certainly didn't.
I use my Flir thermal imaging camera on my
T400 datalogger project. I recently posted a [urlhttp://paxinstruments.com/2014/08/19/t400-pcb-thermal-debugging/]video[/url] where I use it.

Go for it!

There seems to be plenty of cat urine on the board

Nice web site. It's says 'Arduino compatible'. You may want to look into the Arduino at Heart program

Might interest some. I have designed a Current Probe for my DS2000 DSO. Actually 2 versions.
I am thinking that I might put the schematics, BOM and a PDF of the PCB on EEV BLOG as some smart people here might come up with a simple way to calibrate it for different current values.
Have to much work Taking up my time at present.

That would be nice, I would like that!.. 1 vote from me
A well calibrated and stable Hp 3458..4ppm standard. It helps to remove the uncertainties in my uncertain job at times
I'm using a Panavise to hold a 120mm Delta case fan in order to use it as a very nice desk fan.
NiH.... you can never have enough Panavise's laying around. That and Pomona wall mount test lead holders.
I agreed what is said above!
Agilent U1253b, good one. Work very well. Use the double show and get the Heat range in Deg Celsius on the main and Deg F on the additional display.
I use my side cutters to trim my fingernails and remove annoying flaps of skin so they don't catch on things.
Thermal imagers such as the Flir can detect differences in temperatures as little as .1 degree or better. Moisture, even if it cannot be seen will be slightly cooler than the dry surrounding material which can be detected by a thermal imager. Cat urine contains water along with many other substances which even when dry to the touch can produce a slight temperature change, enough to be seen clearly with a thermal imaging camera.. Only when the urine is months old will it be difficult to detect with a thermal imager, Although I have been in homes that spots can still be detected even after several months due to the build-up of substances in the urine which cause small crystals to form in the porous surfaces allowing for a slight temperature variation that can be picked up by a thermal imaging camera.

My new lab area is in our future assembly room. I'm the only one in there right now and we don't have HVAC fully setup. So one of my analog lab supplies is hooked to a 120mm case fan. Probably the lease efficient way to power it. But between 8 and 13V, I find a speed I like for that time.
HP CC/CV power supply (forget the model number) and a kapton heater... Because the thermostat thinks it's smarter than me, but its definitely wrong.
I used my ($23k when new) HP85644A 7GHz tracking generator as a non slip load or counterpoise when transporting a door home today.
I needed something reasonably heavy (about 12kg) and portable with non slip non scratch rubber feet to put at one end of the door to stop the door vibrating or tipping up as I drove the car.
I can now report that it performed really well in this role

It could become the norm in a few years' time when the price of thermal sensors falls. I guess there will come a time when thermal imagers will be alongside all the other low cost cooking utensils seen on a supermarket shelf.
I sometimes use my FLIR to find the coldest beer bottle in the fridge!

Now there's a good use for FLIR's phone attachment, holding the barkeep to account
So today i learnt that most of the folks using high end tools for everything except what it is made for.
For example: top notch high precision bulky signal generator
animal chaser - check
door wedge - check
weight lifting - check

If you run a Keithley 2015THD upside down, it gets to the perfect temperature for proving bread dough.

Environmental test chambers are a superior solution for that.
I used to use the avionics computer under test as a cup warmer. The guys next door used the navigation computer as a pie warmer. The ATE room was used as a walk in cooler, seeing as it was kept all year round at under 10C.
In the previous apartament that we were renting, the kitchen oven was kinda old, and all the digits on temperature know have worn off. I used Fluke 87 to monitor temperature during baking
