Try blotting with white vinegar – never rub your carpet in a circular motion, though.

We bought a house 3 years ago in very early Spring; when the weather turned warm … OMGosh!!! … the urine odor was horrendous!!

We ripped up the carpeting and the pad and went to see about new carpet. The carpet salesman told us we had to seal all floors, carpet and wood, with something like Kilz (3 coats) prior to putting down new pad and carpet or else the odor would just leach back up into the new pad and new carpet.

The other responder is right when he said cat urine is the hardest to get rid out of carpeting. By the way, the odor can and will also soak into sheet rock.

the stain can be removed with liquid soap and water, but prior that, take bi-carb and dampen it, put a thick paste on the stain for some time it will eliminate the smell, wash and hang in the sun, it should help, if you can get boraks and rub the dry powder in

Sorry, but if the padding gets urine soaked, you may have to rip it up and replace it. Masking cat pee on a rug can work but temporarily. It lingers like nothing else.
