If you had to have it cleaned three times in two weeks, I'd say that the
cat **** smell is never going to come out.

Remove and discard all carpeting and padding , then give the whole floor
six months to air out.

When I bought my fixer-upper house in 1979, after I removed the stinking
carpeting and pads. I decided to just let it air out.

I mopped it once a week with some kind of enzyme that was supposed to
break down the urine smell. I don't know if it did any good or not but
eventually the smell went away.

Though I did not think to use polyurethane, I wonder if the odor would
just have come out the bottom?
