Assuming the cat is healthy, to stop her from going in a place because she’s gone there before, consider cleaning the area with [Nature’s Miracle](http://www.petsmart.com/cat/shopping/stain___odor_control/products/product_12349.shtml). The stuff _works_. Of course, this doesn’t address the _reason_ she’s doing it, but it may stop the cycle.
