In my pet shop they sell something called 'stop cats'!
It must have a rotten smell to put cats off.
In the meantime you can try vinegar :-)

Block it.  I had a cat who kept pooping on one spot, so I blocked off that
spot by putting an upside down cardboard box over it and he went back to
using the litter box exclusively.

Sorry, but punishing her is not a logical answer. Inappropriate urination is
usually a result of a medical problem such as UTI or a behavioural one. A
medical problem should always be ruled out first. If it's not a medical
problem, then you'll have to take some time to figure out why this is
happening. Have there been any changes in the routine in your household?
Have there been any physical changes or additions that may not have a
negative effect on you, but may have on your cat?

I suggest you take her to the vet and then go from there.

Good luck!

Punishing an animal never works. Just like punishing a human never
works.Only makes them hate you, resent you, and eventually leave you.
Becuase punishment is a form of abuse and not a training method. Please
don;t punish your cats. There are better way to deal with things.

As for urinating there are ways to deal with this. I will repost a mesage I
tend to post a lot on various cat forums:

1. Take a cat to a vet for a medical check up to rule out any medical causes
of urinating.

2. As for solution, you gonna need to think like a cat. Cats are clean
animals. However if they do choose certain spots for urinating, they will
keep going back there for a wee. However cats will not wee near the food.
So, if I was you, I'd first isolate the cats in couple of rooms till they
get back to using the tray. I's also buy a second litter tray and place it
in the spots they are using the most. The other places need thorough
cleaning .

3.Cleaning: Although you have probably cleaned the spots up to yours cratch,
cats as we all know
have sence of smell beyond our comprehension. To them they probably still
smell like a toilet, only
a tad milder. Clean every used area with some biological washing powder
first, or some speicalised
shampoo that contains enzymes which would munch up the parts of urin. We are
talking serious
scrubbing here, becuase even though we can;t smell it, cats, believe, can.
After this has been done,
take vinegar (in color matching your carpets/flooring/bedding :) )-
probably clear malt one would be the best.
Yes that stinks, but it works wonders as cats hate that smell, which is what
you really want, to divert them from using this spot again. I am not certain
if it also nutralises the urin in some way as well or not, but you must
definitly put the vinegar on the spot. If possibly let the carpet dry.
Perhaps speed up drying with some hairdryer treatment. Lastly, when dry, you
could use some Downy fabric conditioner to kill any residual smell left.
This one is for you really. When all dries out, put some dry cat food on
that area(even rub a few in the carpet/flooring). Cats are clean animals and
wont wee/poo near food. I know this works as my friends done it
on their cat/carpet. Alternativly, move the litter tray on that area.

4.Oh and make sure the regular tray is kept clean as some cats like my
Shadow will rather hold it in for a day/do it elsewhere, then do it in -what
they
consider- dirty tray. Some cats are just fussy.

5.If you happen to catch them doing it, yell NO then quickly pick them up
and put them IN the litter tray and speak gently prasing them. Even give
them a treat if they do it correctly. Never ever punish a cat in any way,
cos punishing is effectively abuse and furthermore, cat will only associatte
your punishment with something that it is doing RIGHT NOW and not something
that may have happened 5 hours ago. You don;t speak cat language so you
can;t explain to her/him that punishment is for the urin they left on the
carpet earlier, can you.
