I trained my cats to go to the potty on the toilet and when they were on the last stage, the littler of the two decided to have a pissfest in my living room. I found a simple method to remove the cat pee. Get: An iron that steams A bucket of cold soapy water (don't use hot the steam makes it hotter) A towel Soak the towel and wring it out so its damp. Place it over the area to be treated. Steam the crap out of it. Wring it out and repeat You have to give the iron time to heat back up so it can be a little time consuming, but I shoved my nose in the spot and checked it with a black light and its gone.

Mix a large bottle of rubbing alcohol with a bit of water - put into a watering can and sprinkle over the urine spot (do a test patch first to be sure your carpet won't discolor - mine did not on two different carpets). Douse the spot well so the carpet pad underneath is soaked as well. Let dry overnight and do not let the cat near this area until completely dry. Spot clean, once dry, with handheld carpet cleaning machine. The rubbing alcohol evaporates with the urine. Nature's Miracle is primarily made up of Isopropyl Alcohol - same thing. The rubbing alcohol does smell strong at first, but not after it's dry. This is a very cheap way to fix the problem.

The only true way to make sure your clothes are not covered in cat hair and smell like cat pee is to get rid of the cat(s) and replace the damaged items. (Understand the the "cat lover" in your house may have to go too...)
