from peeing on it again? The cat closed the door to the room of his litterbox accidentally and we didn't discover it until after he decided to use a magazine on the floor of the office as an alternate location.

I cleaned it up and luckily the urine had not really penetrated to the carpet. However, even though I couldn't smell it, the cat could. The next day, he re-used the exact same spot, but peed directly on the carpet. Since then, we've shut the door so that he has no access to the room and I've bought this "natural" cat urine cleaner that seems to have taken out the smell and stain. I'm going to shampoo the carpet too.

I'd like to keep the office door open. My question is what can I do to prevent him from doing it again? The cat has never had an accident before and is in good health.

Did you use Nature's Miracle? That stuff is GREAT and will completely eliminate the odor forever. They also make a product called "Best Behavior" that will keep your pet away from certain areas/furniture.

I doubt once you've used the Nature's Miracle the cat will go back. They tend to be a lot smarter than dogs about that sort of thing.

Good luck!

Whenever your cat relieves himself on your carpet, talk to him in a firm semi-loud voice, but do not make eye contact (so he will associate the firm voice with the action and not you), then set him in the litter box. Make sure the litterbox is in a quiet place free of things your kitty may be afraid of. Whenever he goes in the litterbox, reward him with a lot of petting and/or a treat (you can make eye contact now) and talk to him in a quiet nice voice. Hope this helps a little
