I haven't dealt with that particular plant problem. But if it was me I would repot it in new soil if I could and if I couldn't I would keep running water through it until it came out the bottom.

For future, you could possibly put rocks or something else on top of the soil so kitty doesn’t think it’s a litter box 🤭

Thank you!

To keep the cat away from plants in the future, try sprinkling a mix of cinnamon and thyme on the soil and putting Vick's Vapor Rub on the rim of the pot. Not sure if it will work to keep a cat away from plants, but it did for my puppy. She's 5 1/2 now and has never bothered any of them.

Agree that it needs to be repotted. Once your cat pees there, they will want to pee there often. Ugh cats are so weird! lol Good luck
