There are a few tried and true methods for this. I had a major problem with a cat urinating on my futon for months and months, so I have tested every single way to get rid of that awful smell and stain! As usual, there are a few ways that work better than others. My first choice would be to dilute a cup of white vinegar with a cup of warm water, put it in a spray bottle and spray the affected area until it is saturated. You will have a vinegar smell there in place of cat pee, but the vinegar can be cleaned up more easily. You can also make a paste with baking soda and warm water and scrub the carpet with that, then wipe clean with a clean cloth. And the last method to try is one of the enzyme cleaners as previously mentioned. The best ones out there are the ones from the pet store that are targeted specifically at cat urine. Soak the affected area and let it air dry. I've found the Febreeze pet odor eliminator to be effective after cleaning with vinegar, but not as a stand-alone treatmen. Febreeze masks the odor with perfume instead of absorbing it.

I've tried just about everything and the only thing I've found to work is a recipe that I make up myself when I need it. I got it from http://caturineoff.com. It's absolutely brilliant and the smell never comes back. I got myself a black light (I found a bulb that fits my bedside lamp at the local hardware store) - this shows up where the cat urine is. Someone has answered you that you should "rub" - NEVER RUB!!! It's the worst thing you can do - next to using ammonia or bleach LOL. Good luck
