They have a spray in a bottle called pet odor remover you just spray it on and if you get your cat neutered he will stop doing that and use his litter box or want to go outside to do his business that one wasn't neutered though but never did any of his business in our house and he banged his head against the door to be let back in and taught himself that plus a paw on the sink if he wanted water and a paw on the fridge if he was hungry and he was a plain old striped grey tabby lol Just a very intelligent cat I guess lol

female cats do not do that it is a territorial thing in males

I had a male Brown Burmese, Mocha. I always get my pets desexed. However he would still squirt, always at the most inappropriate times. It was almost if he was looking for attention. And another desexed male, Brandy would hover over the top of his poo tray, and spray over the top. Also a female Blue Burmese Crystal. You couldn't leave a plastic bag lying around, or newspaper (think she was trained to wee on newspaper) otherwise she's wee on it. Your vet can more than likely provide a 'soothing' type of spray - containing I think some sort of natural pheromones to settle pussycats - I'm not sure what it was, but it worked for me. Never clean a wee wee mark with a strong antiseptic, as the pet cat will come back and re-spray - ie re-establishing ttheir spot. Make sure cats have easy access to their poo tray. Maybe you might need more than one poo tray. Maybe just try a natural type of soap and a little water on the carpet. Vet advice is the best.

Actually, female desexed cats do also spray. Only had one that did it though.

I use a product called Urine Off which comes in a spray bottle. My visiting pup sometimes has a little leak in excitement and the bottle is right there. Works extremely well!

While many products can remove odor from the carpet, the bigger problem is the pad underneath. It also gets soaked with urine and is much harder to remove. I would consult a reputable professional. You may need to have the pad removed, because the animals, whose sense of smell is greater than ours, will keep going back to that spot. Good luck!

Fill a water pitcher with water, add baking soda and vinegar... approx. 1/4 cup of each. Pour over the area... the entire pitcher....over the carpet. Fold thick bath towels, and place over the water. Stand on the towel to absorb the water, repeat until all the water has been absorbed. If necessary, repeat.

I agree with Jacalyn with the addition at this point you should really pull up the carpet and get a hard surface flooring. Even if all you can afford is linoleum tiles. Also, if you haven't neutered and spayed your animals, you may want to consider doing so. It really starts with the cause which is scent marking to attract a mate.

I have tried a lot of different things, including commercial products and homemade concoctions containing various things like white vinegar, baking soda, Listerine, etc., and have only had marginal success. Some time ago, I read about a product that was getting pretty good reviews so I decided to try it because it seemed to have potential. It's called Anti-Icky Poo. There are 3 products in their line that work in conjunction with each other for treating pet accidents and when I first started reading about it I wondered why it was necessary to buy the pre-treatment solution ("P-Bath") and not just the main solution. Then I read if you have already tried to treat the affected area(s) with other products (I had) , you need to first remove the residue other products leave behind. They say that other products will encapsulate the odor and prevent the enzymes in the main Anti-Icky-Poo formula that destroy the cause of the smell to reach the area where the odor is. Then the spot and stain remover is designed to help remove stains without affecting Anti-Icky-Poo's odor removers. From all the information I read, I decided I probably should have all 3 products: the pre-treatment, the main Anti-Icky-Poo formula, and the spot remover. I researched and it can be purchased from the company's website, Amazon, eBay etc. Prices vary so it pays to shop around. I had some cat urine stains on my carpet that I had tried the various commercial and homemade products on with ZERO success. Cat urine is the worst! First, I treated the areas with the Pre-Treatment step and then the Anti-Icky Poo. In addition to liberally treating the top surface of the carpet, I used a large needle and syringe from Tractor Supply to inject the liquid down into the carpet pad. The Anti-Icky Poo company does sell a needle and syringe for this purpose but it is ridiculously expensive. If you don't have a Tractor Supply near you, the pet stores may carry them or your vet might give you one, or sell you one at a nominal charge. Be forewarned, this will not work with just one application, unfortunately. I had to treat each spot multiple times over the period of about a month or six weeks but with each treatment, I could smell the cat urine less and less. Ultimately, it did take care of about 98% of the odor. I can only smell it ever-so-slightly if I put my nose right down to the carpet and sniff hard. I have no doubt if I pulled the carpet and padding back and treated the padding and concrete sub-floor more thoroughly, I could probably get rid of the remaining smell but since the cat has not tried to return to those spots and I can't smell it when I walk in the room, I'm calling the treatment "good enough" and a success. Oh, one other thing...I was NOT impressed with the Anti Icky Poo spot remover so I would not recommend buying that. I think the Woolite Oxy Pet spot remover I've been using for years does a far better job of removing surface stains. If you want to read more on Anti Icky Poo this website has some excellent info on the different types of odors Anti Icky Poo takes care of.

I also wanted to add that Anti-Icky Poo can be used on furniture too. My husband's leather chair was starting to develop a slight perspiration odor so I sprayed it a few times with the Anti-Icky Poo and it seemed to neutralize the smell.

Well guess what, no more odor or stain on my mattress from dog pee. It worked so well that only I know it was there. First 50/50 water and vinegar for the odor. Just blot with towel to remove. Then baking soda and peroxide paste worked in and let dry then Vacuum My husband was so impressed. Worked on carpet also.

@Shari Thank you for your additional input. I am going to try to pull up the carpet and check out the pad. I do have a Tractor Supply near me so I can get the syringe there. It is kind of you to offer your expertise. Thanks a lot. :)
