I gave u on carpets.

The sheet linomleum is good, and the new hardwood floor, which as polyurethane. That's easy to maintain. The old hardwood floor has varnish and that goes black with the uric acid. Have to have all the old floors re-finished. Sigh.

Same experience here... Nature's Miracle did not live up to it's name (neither did the miracle bra, but we won't go there).

Also know all to well the whole hard wood floor ordeal. Dealing with that myself, along with the carpet, the countertops, the dining room table... where ever they feel like being pissers, they do it.

Litter box problems are sometimes the most difficult to deal with, and the longer it continues the more of a habit it becomes.

As for removing stains/odors I use Vet Solutions Carpet Stain & Odor Eliminator. I don't know about ordering from that particular website, the link is just so you can see what it looks like. We sell it at work, but I don't know that all vets carry it, some pet stores might. I've used it when I've been potty training kittens and for kitty vomit stains (heck the stuff even worked on a mustard stain on light colored berber carpet!) I've had a bathroom rug I once washed in fabreeze and it still smelled of cat pee, but once I used the odor eliminator the smell was totally gone.

If she's peeing on the actual wall itself then your problem isn't just confined to the carpet.

Is she the only cat?
Is she spayed?
How old is Ashely?
Do you know if the previous homeowner had cats?


As far as her behavior at home try:

Adding another sandbox with no hoods, or liners. Rule of thumb is one box per cat plus one extra. At least one of those on each level of your home.

Fill second sandbox with plain clay unscented litter.

Scoop both boxes out once a day or more.

Dump out clay litter totally once a week/clumping litter a little less often, and put at least 2" of totally fresh litter in.

When you wash out the litter pan only use plain HOT water, no soaps/cleansers/chemicals.

Ask your vet about Feliway (a pheremone spray), although if you can't get all the odor out, I don't know how much help the Feliway would be.

Seriously look into the walls/baseboards to make sure that urine hasn't penetrated those.

Good luck.

Little known secret: Nature's Miracle sold their formula and had to change theirs so as to not compete with the company they sold their formula to. The new formula does not work.

I use Simple Solutioin and never had a problem. Allen peed on my daughter's brand new purse, but a quick squirt of Simple Solution and nobody other than Allen and me knew what he'd done.

I just bought the orange oxy natures miracle. I poured a whole bunch in theliving room where Runner had gone. So far so good. STill wet tho.

Ashley: 8 yrs old. Spayed before her 1st bday. She started doing this when we moved into the house. She was good in the apartments.
She's done this before new pets. I don't think she's sprayed the walls. She's just peed next to wall on floor.

Previous owner did have cats. I hear he had a few and one was pg.
