An act of despairation-- My dog used the carpeted hallway as a comode several times- I tried enzymes I tried enzymes in the carpet cleaner I poured a gallon of the stuff down the hall. Finally, I decided to take a risk. I mixed a solution of bleach and water and dumped in in every spot making sure I soaked the pad and everything. I waited a few minutes then sucked up as much as possible with the carpet cleaner. (I found the spots with a UV light from the pet store.) After getting up ad much of the water as possible, I ran the AC to get the air moving and dry. I would not call this a recomendation, but it worked for me (a light tan carpet.) I ended up treating the area 2 times ( about 1 week apart), but it seams to have done the trick. No discoloration of the carpet.

I wish I would have timed how long it took me to read every single one of these posts. My beloved cats are destroying my house. I'm single, working, commuting, and losing my mind trying to clean it and get them to stop. I think that a fair number of these posts are written by SHILLS, which I find despicable. People like me are going through hell. Not only is there a mess, it's a smelly, toxic mess, and it's caused by my children. Yes, they are my children, and I can't just get rid of them. I, too, want to chime in and say that Nature's Miracle does NOT work. I'm fine with ripping up the carpet and starting over, but even that is going to be so incredibly difficult and time consuming. After reading all of this, and not having very nice carpet, I've decided to rip up my carpet, but I wish all of you cat lovers the best of luck in trying to eradicate the stains if you do want to keep your carpet. There isn't much on this thread about preventative measures to stop cats from doing this in the first place, but I encourage everyone to visit some reputable sites to deal with that as well. I've listed some below. Please don't ever think your cat is angry or vindictive or something like that. Cats don't have those types of emotions. Educate yourself and respond appropriately, but be careful of opinions in forums. Look to the experts for advice. I so very much appreciate the time people took to offer solutions. Thank you. I also want to recommend a money saving litterbox filler that will encourage you to keep up with cleaning it, as well as keep the smell at bay. My cats' issues have to do with new cats in the home, age and illness - not the use of this litter. I use plain wood pellets (no scent!), bought at Menard's or Fleet Farm type places. They're sold as woodstove fuel, as well as pet bedding. Way more economical that commercial litter and, I think, abate the smell much better. http://www.naturalcatcareblog.com/2011/06/cat-going-outside-the-litter-box-super-smart-behaviorists-share-their-tips/ http://catinfo.org/?link=litterbox http://www.littlebigcat.com/?s=litter+box One of the many posts on the brilliant Dr. Becker's site: http://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2012/08/29/cat-litter-box-aversion.aspx http://www.naturalcatcareblog.com/2011/02/9-useful-sites-for-researching-cat-health-issues/

In order for Nature's Miracle to work, plenty of the product has to permeate the stain/soiled area. When most people do not have good results, it is because they did not get enough product to the affected area. We bought a repossessed house 4 years ago. The real estate agent warned us about the odor before we went in the first time. This is in a winterized house in late January---outside temps were in the teens---as were the interior temps inside the house. The smell even at 18 degrees was strong. Strong enough that many people simply turned around and went back out. The reason for the smell? Previous occupants had at least 5 dogs(three were tied in the back yard) and the other two probably did not go outside at all. Those people lived here for over 4 years. They had removed the carpet from the upstairs, but not the basement. There were literally hundreds of pee stains all over the main floor. We bought the house, took until April---because I knew I could remediate the odor. Three gallons of Nature's Miracle later, when the furnace had gotten the inside temps up to 80 degrees---NO odor. None. Now, a year and a half later, while changing the water heater, a couple gallons of water got loose and soaked the bottom of a wall between the basement storage room and the basement hall---and Boom, odor. Why, I had simply not treated that area. Couple cups of Natures Miracle---odor gone. About two months ago the condensate pump failed and the water again soaked that same area. NO odor. Three of the neighbors finally got to know us well enough to ask about the odor, one figured we just lived with it like the other family. Invited them in and they could not believe there was no odor at all. So, the stuff works, as long as it is applied well enough and in ALL the affected areas.

Most diabetics need monitoring for UTIs and insulin checks every 3-6 months anyway. And just because kitty is diabetic doesn't mean he can't also have another disease causing inappropriate elimination. Most diabetic cats, when they are under good control, have completely normal litterbox habits. So something is probably amiss.
