Maybe, maybe not. Natures Miracle only goes so

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

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.
Sorry to say this, but I lol'd.
