Hope you get your delima resolved.

I have had cats for years - all was fine until we got a second one and then the territory-marking began! I have tried every product out there and have had only very limited success - some cleaning products remove the color from the carpet. The urine often can stain/bleach the carpet anyway. My rug guys say 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar, but I have found the results to be so-so. Sorry for your frustration - I would just say get it up quickly and perhaps put foil around the spot so when your cat tries to go in that area again, the crinkly noise will scare her away (hopefully to the litter box!) I love, love my cats, but.....

I'm getting a wood floor.
It is cement underneath the carpet and we are scrubbing that with the enzyme formula cleaner. Thankfully it was in the middle of the room so no walls are involved.
What a mess I have in the mean time.

The bad thing about wood floors is in between the floor planks urine can get trapped so you are in the same boat and forget about getting any smell out of that. Sorry to put a wrinkle in your remedy I have wood floors thoughout my house so I know of what I speek other than I have dogs that decide they need to mark. I guess if you get new floors don't have pets. I love my pets too much.

This may not be of interest but ask yourself why she is marking her territory. If this is something new for her, she might have a urinary infection or some undetected illness. Even dental problems can cause such behavior. Been there and done that and will replace all carpets when furr buddies are gone and grandkids are grown. (P.S. I use Nature's Miracle from Petsmart.)

if you decide to pull up the carpet and put a wood floor down you need to paint your subfloor with the paint that nullifies odor, I forget the name of it but they have it at all paint store and Home Depot and Lowes. My dd used it on flooring that the previous owners had a cat room. They pulled up the carpet and painted the floor then had it recarpeted...she said so far no cat pee smell.
