There is also a product you can buy at most Pet Stores called "No-Go" that you can spray on things you don't want kitty piddle on but you have to face the risk of her finding another place to piddle which is what our William did.
Catching him in or about to commit the act and letting loose with a water gun seems to have cured him of that bad habit but that method can also be emotionally traumatic on poor animals who are just doing what nature is telling them to do.
The one kitten we took in who never got the concept of the litter-box as a permanent place to go if she was too lazy to go outside now lives outside...at someone else's house. She was still under 8 weeks old when we gave her away after cleaning the sofa, the dining room chairs, the dining room floor and the fireplace on a daily basis for what felt like years LOL.
I hope the juice and vinegar thing works! We have no carpet here, just satillo tile and I know the fix for that...just clean the area with bleach and soapy water and wipe straight bleach over "the spot". Boo and Sweety Pie learned real fast, those places were not somewhere they ever wanted to do their business again and they chose (like all the others) to go outside. Thank goodness too because with ten cats in and out of the house, you's need 5 litterboxes that you'd have to change every day...As it is, we have one litter box that only gets used when it rains by those who were smart enough to come in out of the rain to begin with lol.
