I’d tape the cat to the scope and throw it in the sea  :-DD

If you butter the other side of the scope when you tape the cat to it,  you could use it to generate infinite power.

This is a long shot, but you might try cleaning the stain with something that contains phosphoric acid.
Refrigerator:
If the residue is rusty piss some vinegar should help remove it.
People de-rust engine parts in vinegar so it's certainly capable of handling rust.
Other than that, if the carpet is synthetic you can try some oven cleaner spray as a last resort, it should help break down oils and such, in case of leaky oil filled transformer.
