Do you have other cats? Were they near the liter box
when he sprayed?

I've found Nature's Miracle to be a waste of money as well.

(SNIP)


We also found Nature's Miracle to be a waste of money. The only thing that
worked for us was to paint over (almost seal in) the areas where the cat had
peed. Of course this was on cement, which we then carpeted over.

The things we tried that did not work we
Nature's Miracle
Some other really expensive enzyme cleaner from the vet
white vinegar
numerous other cleaners (like Lysol, Mr. Clean, etc)
even bleach didn't work

With our puppy pee the best thing is using our Hoover Steam Vac over and
over on the spot. We didn't have that when the cat decided to pee. : /

But I would definitely replace the pad under the area, and paint the sub
floor in addition to a steam vac. If any got on the wall, clean that well
and paint it also. We needed to completely eliminate the smell to stop him
from peeing in the area again. And while we were doing this, we blocked him
from the area so he couldn't use it again.

Is there a way to block him from the area and have appropriate litter boxes
elsewhere until he can unlearn this nasty habit? My college roomate's cat
used to spray/pee everywhere, but when she moved (and got away from the
smell I assume) he only peed where he was supposed to. (Yes, he was
neutered).

Good luck!!!!!! I feel your pain. : )
