Maybe, maybe not. Natures Miracle only goes so far. I

with a wood floor with cat issues, and even after months of use, the
wood was still stinky.
Cat urine also has the interesting property that it's one of the few
agents that I know of that can not only corrode PCB traces to the
point that they're just not there, but it seems to easily migrate
under solder mask to do its dirty work.
Cat urine also reacts with the tannins in woods such as oak to leave
a nice dark stain. Oxalic acid is of limited use in such cases. I
was reminded of this as I'd just finished laying an oak floor only to
discover our cat calmly annointing the bare wood.
We no longer have cats. Dogs are much easier on the furnishings.
