When your cat makes a habit of urinating in the home, you’ll probably feel a bit frustrated. Cat urine produces unpleasant aromas and is difficult to remove from carpets, upholstery, and fabrics. While carpet cleaning services can address floor damage, there are ways to prevent your feline from urinating outside the litter box in the first place. 

4 Ways to Keep Cats From Urinating on Carpets

1. Use Enzyme Cleaner

Clean cat urine off your carpet as soon as you notice it. Enzyme products not only remove stains but deter cats from peeing in the same spot again. Also, schedule professional carpet cleaning services for particularly soiled areas.

2. Scoop the Litter Box

When your cat’s litter box is full, they may no longer want to use it. Get into the habit of scooping it at least once or twice per day. Invest in a second litter box, if you own a large property or are away from home most of the day. 

3. Flip Rugs & Mats

Once your cat urinates on a mat or rug, they tend to return to the same spot and repeat the behavior. They may develop a fondness for certain textures, too. Flipping your rugs and mats will change how the surface feels to your cat and discourage them from peeing on it.

4. Make a Vet Appointment

In some instances, medical issues are to blame for cats urinating on your carpets. Frequent urination may indicate bladder, urinary tract, or kidney infections, which are sometimes life threatening, so take your cat to the veterinarian to rule these out or treat them.
