Chemistry Defeats Cat

I have a new cat named B. Some of you may know her from when she lived with Sarah Q. B is a very nice, adorable cat, but she has taken a liking to my red bathroom rug, in the Triumph the Insult Comic Dog way: "This is a great rug.... FOR ME TO POOP ON!!!"She poops 2x day, one in the box, one on the carpet. For 3 straight days she did this in the same spot. I would wash the rug. She would poop on it in the same spot. I left the poop on there to see if it's only that spot, but she would poop in another spot. So I made a concoction that I believed would discorage her:1 tablespoon garlic1 tablespoon Red Pepper1 tablespoon Curry Powder.Grind in coffee grinder. Place in 50mL of 91% rubbing alcohol. Shake, filter in Coffee filter, place in spray bottle. Spray evenly on carpet. Air dry. 3 days later, 2 poops in box/day *zero* on Carpet.Chemistry Wins!jv
