I know, I've read the sticky posts, and they just haven't helped. We're desperate here.
We adopted Nikita and her sister Mystique last March. They were fostered, litter trained, everything was fantastic.
About 4 months ago, we noticed Nikita was peeing on the furniture. We hadn't changed her litter or anything. Fearing an infection, we took her to the vet, no infection, but we did the antibiotic just in case. We paid more attention to her, thinking maybe it was lack of it, no change. We cleaned the couch with every cleaner we could find to try and get the smell out, and nothing worked (we are now about to get rid of the couch).
We went on vacation, had a cat sitter come EVERYDAY, and when we got home, there was pee in the couch, recliner, love seat, and the bed...she pooped on the bed as well.
Again, we cleaned everything (though they still smell...nothing seems to work!), she is only allowed in the bedroom when we are in there, we got another litter box (we live in a SMALL apartment, and didn't think two were necessary) just in case her sister was being dominant and not letting her use the first one, now they both ONLY use the new one and Nikita STILL pees on the couches....
We know we need to replace the couches because they still smell like cat pee and so she thinks it is okay, but we are afraid that if we buy new ones, she will ruin those as well...
WE NEED HELP!!! I am on the brink of finding her and her sister a new home (we wouldn't dare separate them, they would be miserable)
