    You just need to clean the cat urine off of them. Lots of water, and scrub each rock with a brush. Then rinse very well.

    Boiling them is not necessary.

    definitely time for new rocks, fish are very susceptible to disease,

    and seeing as your cat urinated on them, i wouldn't risk it, it is not that hard to get some new rocks. Remember( always wash your ornaments with aquarium water)
