I thought urine was alkali.  That's why I wash my little boxes with a
vinegar/water solution.

** I always use white vinegar. It works great for a variety of stains, also.

I used 7-Up or Sprite once when we first moved into our house.  My cat
Cory had never seen ceiling fans before and was horrified for the first
few days.  He laid under the bed and wouldn't come out and, finally,
the poor little guy peed all over himself under there.  Nothing worked
until I dumped about a liter of Sprite (non-diet) under there and
soaked the carpet.  Fortunately, he got over his ceiling fan phobia
although for the next 10 years of his life, I would see him
periodically look up at them apprehensively.
