Step 1
Potty train your cat. Get a cat litter box and some kitty litter. Then find a convenient and easily accessible area to place the litter box. Start encouraging your cat to urinate in the litter box. Each time your cat uses the litter box, make sure to congratulate your cat with a treat.

Step 2
Keep your cat healthy with periodic trips to the veterinarian. Also, be sure to get your cat properly vaccinated. Pay extra attention to your cat if something stressful is about to happen. For example, moving to a new home, getting a new roommate or a change in routine can definitely stress out your pet.

Step 3
Discipline your cat sternly, yet lovingly if your cat does have an accident. You can simply show the cat the accident and say "no" in a disciplinary tone. Next time your cat does something positive, make sure to offer a reward. Be consistent with your negative and positive feedback and you will be successful in teaching your cat the appropriate behaviors.

Step 4
Washy any urine on your carpet as soon as possible. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you may simply be able to scrub out the urine with a little soap and water and then pat it dry. Another option is to purchase a carpet cleaning spray specifically designed for these types of stains. There are an array to chose from at your local supermarket and they work like a charm.

Step 5
Don't forget that you can get your carpets professionally cleaned for a couple hundred dollars. This may not be a bad idea, especially if you have a few stains already. Your carpets will look as good as new and you can go back to loving your cat without all the hassle!
