I'd tried everything, including tips from this site and was about to give up and tear out the carpet where my 1 year old silver tabby had sprayed AND peed in the corner of my closet, on my brand new carpet. I thought I'd give it one more shot and poured nearly half a bottle of sudsy ammonia in that entire half of the closet! AND IT WORKED!

No more gagging smell, nothing! And best of all, Sparky has decided that he is done with spraying and peeing inside the house, and he will not even enter that closet at all now!

I placed a table fan blowing on the carpet to dry it and since it is commercial grade, rubber-backed carpet, the whole process took less than a day. I was quite fortunate to not have to go more drastic and replace the carpet squares, and the cat!

SUDSY AMMONIA saved the day for us! Hope this works for someone else, too.

GOOD FOR YOU GLAD THE SMELL CAME OUT ---- HE MORE THEN LIKELY WONT GO BACK IN THERE . YOU SEE AMMONIA BURNS THEIR NOISE . YOU CAN SPRAY YOUR TRASH CANS WITH IT AND DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS WONT GET INTO IT . ALSO A LITTLE VICKS VAPO RUB WILL DO THE SAME THING TO KEEP THEM OUTA PLACES THEY SHOULDENT GO AFTER A WHILE YOU WONT SMELL IT BUT THEY STILL CAN .

Would this take the color out?

Thanks!

I wondered about this myself (pouring sudsy ammonia) but it might be that the ammonia smell was so overpowering that the cat decided to avoid that location.

I'm not sure that's such a good idea--everything I have always read/heard is NOT to use anything containing ammonia to clean up after pets because ammonia leaves a smell that they will think is somebody else's urine that they will then want to mark over.
