Clean the litter box EVERYDAY, more often if you have multipule cats, many cats are picky and won't use the litter if they have already used it.

First of all - where is the litter pan located? I just went through something similar. The vet gave me hand outs that while lots of people would like to put litter pans in basements so they are out of sight that is not a good idea. Make sure the food is not too close to the litter pan, preferably not even in the same room. Make sure that it is not near a waher/ dryer/ dishwasher/ water softner/ furnace anythign that may make loud noises or shut off & on beause the cat can be scared by the noise & will not use the box for fear something will turn on while they are in there. Make sure wherever you have it they have an easy escape route if something spooks the cat. Once the smell of their urine/poop gets in the rug the cat will likely continue to use it. Washing it will not eliminate the smell entirely. My vet suggested I take the rug up for a while & that when I put it back down that I buy a new one that won't have the urine/poop smell in it at all. Those were all the 1st step suggestions. After running tests & everything coming out ok, we determined that my cat had developed a beahvioral problem after we moved. I guess he was in shock & not adapting well to the new house. He had to be put on prozac for a few weeks until he felt safer & then he stabelized & we havent had any problems with him since. We also added one litter box on each level of the house.

I'd suggest keeping the cat out of the bathroom. Move the litter pan into a laundry room or somewhere with a completely tiled floor and keep your bathroom door closed, at least until he learns to use the litter pan 100% of the time.

Wash the rugs and dry them with dryer sheets, maybe there was a scent on your shoes or the shoes of a guest and she can smell it, once the scent is gone she might stop. If not remove the rugs for a period of time, to see if she stops.

i know how you feel, my cat pees everywhere! so we started closing all of the doors, but that didn't help, so what my mom did was every time he peed some where she would close him in the bathroom for 5 min. i didn't think it would work, 'cause it sounds really stupid, but i worked, and now he only pees in his litter pan 'cause he never liked the bathroom!

I've heard they don't like the smell of lemons - spray the rug with lemon pledge or something lemony - maybe that would work.

Get rid of the cat, or let your house smell like vagrants live there... it's up to you.
