Ches,
You can take it to a car wash, and use the high pressure hose. However, I
do caution against using harsh cleaners, or alot of scrubbing as you may
remove the waterproofing or sealer. (especially when dealing with canvas
pavillions).
We found out the hard way that you should never really wash pavillions as
you cannot replace the original water sealing. -- Thompson's water seal
helps, but is not nearly as effective as pre-treated fabric.
For modren tents, this may not be as big a concern as much of their
water-proofing comes from the synthetic fabric itself. However, take care
not to 'wear the fabric too thin'.
I recommend a trying a 'pet deodorizer' which are available at many grocery
stores and pet supply stores. (You can also get some that have scents to
keep your cat from repeating the incident!)
Good luck!

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to get a tent dry cleaned? I no longer have
a
yard to clean one out on and the cat that is now gone went all over it. What are
my
options?
