Cats won't remember what they did to get rewarded. They have small brains. Steamcleaning will only put a band-aid on the problem.

- Take the cat to the vet to see if they have any type of infection. Put them on UTI medication if they do.
- Clean the litter box out every day.
- Go to Walmart of wherever and buy some stuff to prevent cats/dogs off furniture or certain areas. Spray every day.
- Use Feliway in that spot every day.
- Pull up the carpet, replace the padding. Spray the shit out of the subflooring and carpet - both sides. Let that dry. Paint some type of sealant, like Killz, to seal the floor. Oil-based is better because it gets down in the cracks.
- Put a dish of food where the spot is.

It's a bitch getting that smell out. I finally had to remove my whole front room carpeting, use a sealer, and am now waiting to put wood floors in. My cats have not peed in the room in almost a week and hopefully it will stay that way. Pisses me off because it's a totally brand new house that had upgraded carpets.

Hope that helps!
