"I don't know how many people have ever had to suit an outdoor cat up in their little heated jackets, booties and air-bottles so they can relieve themselves outside. In fact, I would guess that this is close to zero because most people will be able to envision what the consequence of "liquid urine + 100 K" means, particularly in combination with a not especially patient cat who does not appreciate being frozen to the ground by a concrete-hard slab of solid pee-ice.
At that, it's better than the time we found out why hot urine and methane ice make a bad combination. The resulting steam explosion sent shards of solidified piss over a surprisingly large radius and very curiously, the people who design titan-suits don't seem to have taken into account the possibility that their product will have to stand up to a gail of lethally pointed fragments of urine."
