He has pooped on the cover before but that was easy to clean by laundering the protective cover. He avoided the sticky tape and now has peed in it. Aside from the odor, I am not sure how to get to it or break him of the habit. No one ever sees him

Eduard Kunz triumphs in New Orleans Interntional Piano Competition
The silver and bronze medals also went to Russian-speaking pianists: Andrey Ponochevny of Belarus scored second in the jurors’ estimation; Stanislav Khristenko, who represented Russia and the Ukraine, took third. Both men gave Kunz a good run on Sunday, offering gripping performances of sonatas by Brahms and unleashing virtuosic fireworks in pieces by Rachmaninov and Stravinsky.
For Kunz, it was a long road to the winner’s circle. He began as one of 158 pianists who submitted CDs for review. He became one of 12 semifinalists invited to perform in the weeklong competition at Loyola University. He played two separate recitals in the semifinals, and concluded with an astounding 50-minute program on Sunday, bringing the Roussel Hall crowd to its feet repeatedly as he played works by Beethoven, Albeniz, Prokofiev and Liszt. The jurors assessed all three of Kunz’s recitals in awarding him the gold medal.
Kunz lives in London and has already played with many of Britain’s finest orchestras. His performance, in the finals, easily counts as one of the finest recitals this critic has ever heard.
