(format_html)I have 2 boys and 2 male cats that just got fixed. There are black marks on my carpet throughout the house. One cat decided to spray everything and the cat that would only go to the bathroom outside has been forced to stay in. I've cleaned up a lot of messes. Since they have been fixed, one has quit spraying but the other has not. When I see him sniffing around, I lock him in the bathroom with the box. It seems to be getting better.
I can't take the smell or the stains any longer. The items I have on hand are Oxy Clean, Vinegar, peroxide, ammonia, alcohol, and baking soda. The black stains are deep. What mixture can I use to take care of all of this? Any help would be great.
Thank you in advance.

We solved that by getting the cats out of the house. They are not allowed inside. (05/05/2006)

I tried everything people suggested, even bought the powder from Planet Urine a waste of 40 dollars.
I told my husband he had to lift the carpet, well our padding is covered by plastic on top so it didn't seep into the concrete floor. I bought Woolite Pet and Stain Remover, after cleaning the pad and rug bottom and top with this, I got up the next morning and my house smelled worse than cat urine, a bad chemical smell. I wouldn't advise buying this.
So I went to Walmart. When I came home, I steam cleaned the rug with Bissell pet and odor remover. At Walmart, I bought this stuff in the pet department called Kids and Pets, and also Out. I lifted the carpet after steam cleaning it and washed the padding with Kids and Pets, then I sprayed Out on it. I turned the rug over and sprayed Out on it, then I put the Kids and Pets stuff in my steam cleaner and did that.
I have put up a window screen so my cat won't get to that area now. So far so good. She was sniffing around the screen and I chased her away.
Try this it really works. Remember it's only at Walmart. (06/01/2006)

My 9 yr old cat has been going potty on my rug and I can't get rid of the smell.
How do I get rid of cat urine odor in my carpets?
How do I remove cat urine smell from my carpet?
I had to put my cat down after she developed stones. I want to get a new kitten, but I'm afraid he will urinate in the spot on the carpet where my other cat did when she was sick.
I have 2 boys and 2 male cats that just got fixed. There are black marks on my carpet through out the house.
What really gets rid of cat urine odors, cheaply? No, I won't give up my babies, but something has GOT to work. Has anyone had any success at all without it costing an arm and a leg?
How do I use ammonia to get cat urine out of a carpet?
I live in a condo with off white carpet. My cat peed on the carpet. I'm cleaning the spots with an enzyme cleaner, but a faint yellow stain remains. Also does the cleaner bubbling up (like peroxide) mean it is removing the stain?
Do I keep cleaning and re-cleaning the area until it no longer bubbles? There is no odor, but I'm a little obsessive and even if it is not noticeable to anyone else it will drive me crazy. Thanks.Natures Miracle, available at pet stores and amazon, will take care of both stains and odors.
I took my cat to the vet and she did have a UTI. She still is peeing in the same spot. What do I do? We live in a an apartment and that will be a pretty fee when we are out of here. I did get a new cat box, the Tidy Cat Breeze one, with pellets. Should I go back to the old way or the electronic way?

I suggest you try an enzymatic cleaner. It'll break down urine, feces, vomit (biological wastes) so that the cat doesn't come back to the same spot. You'll have to saturate the area to get down to the padding, and you might want to treat the area twice, just to be sure.
Just a few days ago, someone posted about a dog peeing on the floor. Maybe it'll be of some help to you.

If you look further down this page I have listed a recipe that most folks have in their cabinets and I do guarantee it works. Please scroll down to see it. I would post it again, but then it would be repetitive.
Hope it works for you, it has worked for us in many situations including a cat that got into my husband's van (we forgot to close the back door all night long) and he no longer has that nasty smell.
How to remove that cat pee smell from carpet
My cat who is being treated for a UTI is adamant that he will continue to pee on the carpet in the same area rather than use his litter box; however, he does use the box at times, it varies. I've use peroxide, vinegar, and baking soda in past, but I am out of it at home. Sometimes it worked; sometimes it didn't. My question: I do have rubbing alcohol in my cabinet at this time,. Does anyone know if this will discourage a cat from peeing on the carpet once he smells this strong, unpleasant odor?

I don't know if rubbing alcohol will help at all. I'd be wary of pouring/spraying it onto my carpet. You should go pick up an enzymatic cleaner the next time you're at the store. I've gotten some at Petsmart and Wal-Mart, but have seen it at other stores, too. Head to the area of the store where they have pet cleaning supplies. The enzymes actually break down the biological residue, so there is no odor left for the cat to find.
If your cat has been using the same spot repeatedly, I suggest you treat the area a few times, making sure you saturate it (follow the directions on the bottle). I had a cat that decided he liked to poop in a certain corner of our computer/kitty litter room. I got one of those plastic carpet protectors from an office supply store (so that a rolling desk chair doesn't dig into the carpet) and placed it over the spot he was using. I don't know if it was the change in texture, or if he couldn't smell the spot anymore, but he stopped (and went back to the box).
Good luck with the pee, and I hope your kitty is feeling better soon!
I have read that it is common for a cat to pick a soft place to urinate when then have a UTI. As the person previously said, saturate the carpet because if the urine goes down deep and you are only spraying the top it will be ineffective. I don't know if there is a training pad (like they have for puppies) that could be put on top of the litter to make a softer feel to his feet until his UTI is cleared up or not, but it might be worth getting a Chux to try.
