I am Chozar Teshuva so if this is a ridiculous question then please bear with me.
Long story short, my cat soiled a ballcap that I own (soil as in, with urine). I put it through the dishwasher, got it nice and clean. Is it considered ritually impure? Like would I be able to wear it at all? Would things I put on my head or touched after touching the hat also be impure?
Answer
Excrement and urine of a live animal (and in fact anything except an entire limb from a live animal) are not ritually impure, and thus don't affect your hat. (Rambam Avot HaTumah 2:3)
As an aside, excrement and urine of a deceased animal (as opposed to its flesh) also are not ritually impure. (ibid. 1:15)
