    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    They do have high sides but have cut a large opening on the side. We leave the lids off. We used to have the lids on but decided to remove them. Used the same style for 3 years and all three cats use them fine. Even Abby (the urinator). We still watch her every day using the litter boxes with no...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    It was a Rug Doctor brand given to us by a family member. They had used it with some luck. We ordered the old Natures Miracle formula (the one that's supposed to be liquid gold) but it's not here yet. In the mean time the only cleaner we could find in store with enzymes is this.

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    What do you mean by "returned lease sofas"? The old sofa has been taken to the dump (it was extremely old and worn in) but we kept two cushions off of it. The reason for this was actually to try and deter one of our OTHER cats from scratching on the new sofa, and instead scratch on the cushions...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Thank you for your input~ It's 100% for sure only one cat. We kept cushions from the old couch that she lays on throughout the day just as much as she lays on the new couch. We'll keep that idea in our "things to try" list. I'm just a little wary of it because if she's stress urinating, then...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    We had thought about isolating her, but if it's stress or anxiety causing her issue.. I think her stress level will only increase if we separate her from us / the other two cats. She has access to the whole house, including a twin bed in the guest room, and our queen bed in our bedroom. She...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    I'm not sure what you mean? The couch is a dark chocolate, and the comforters are gray and black. It's impossible for us to move the couch. We live in an upstairs apartment, above a business (and surrounded by businesses) in the middle of town. Took 3 grown men to carry the couch up the stairs...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    We've left food bowls on the couch all day. Hard food left out, and fed them wet food twice today on the couch (which she loves), it's 11 pm and she just peed right in front of one of the food bowls with my husband sitting in the floor nearby.   We've been giving her a lot of love, praise...

    Aw, thank you so much, Mani <3   We're hoping so, too.

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Everything is fine with her medically. So, we've been putting plastic over the couch, and comforters over the plastic to soak up the "accidents" and protect the couch. We pulled up both of the comforters and washed both of them (even though she only pooped on one) for good measure. We left the...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Okay, so now we have a new issue. We put down the plastic with the comforters on top as protection last night. We had some citrus (orangy) scented oil that we diluted with water and sprayed on top of the comforters to see if it would deter her. We woke up to a pile of cat poop on top. The covers...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Robbie Watson, we actually had thought of getting some citrus-y essential oils and putting it in a spray bottle with water to spray on the couch. Haven't tried it yet, though. As far as the litter boxes go, they're 3-3.5 year old cats. They've always used the litter box fine, they scratch in it...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Tallyollyopia, I actually thought of this yesterday! I'm glad someone else had the same mindset. We had considered sleeping on the couch last night, but our only worry was if whatever space may not be taken up by us at any given time.. if she took advantage of it and urinated on it while we...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Ah, thanks for the clarification! Yeah, I thought she probably smelled the urine, still. At the time it was still soaked in the Rug Doctor Urine Eliminator, covered in a damp towel, covered in plastic, covered in a thick comforter, and she still peed. It's crazy.  Thanks for the advice! If the...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Thanks for the link! I really have to say, I don't think it has anything to do with the litter boxes, as we've changed nothing about the litter boxes in the past 3 years and there have never been any issues prior to getting the new couch. She still uses the litter box like normal, and only...

    Pregnant and DESPERATE! Cat urinating on new couch!

    Thanks for the link! The sofa was brand new, straight from the store, still in plastic. We have two large storage totes as litter boxes. They're in the same place they have always been (we've replaced them a couple of time for cleanliness reasons), using the same litter we've always used for the...
