The earth and what is connected to it become pure by dryness according to many scholars. So, if the place where a cat urinated or its impurity dries up, it is judged to be pure. The fundamental principle regarding places is purity. And unless there is absolute certainty that a place has been contaminated by impurity, the original state is purity. The transfer of impurity from a dry, contaminated spot to a wet or damp one is a matter of scholarly disagreement. For someone afflicted with obsessive doubts, they may adopt the opinion that impurity does not transfer in this case.
