Neutral or enzymatic cleaners can discourage your cat from peeing in unwanted areas. Products with a citrus scent or those specifically designed to eliminate pet odors are particularly effective. Essential oils, such as eucalyptus, lavender, or lemongrass, mixed with water, can also work but use them sparingly and consult with a vet first as some can be harmful to cats. Spraying these solutions on affected spots after a thorough cleaning can help prevent your cat from returning to the same spot.
