How can I stop my cat urinating on the Sofa?

Question

My 11 year old castrated male has just started urinating on the carpet and sofa.

I took him to the Vet and he was checked thoroughly, and a full blood test was done. everything negative.

We have had no changes in the house, no new furniture, no new animals, nothing that I can put it down to protest weeing.

he and his long time companion have never been outdoor cats as he is allergic to the immunisation, and nearly died the first time I tried to get him inoculated.

I am at my wits end. I have tried sprays, pepper, etc etc.

The cat litter is always cleaned everyday, and he has a selection of one upstairs and one downstairs.

HELP!!!!

Answer 1

There are sprays that help. You may need to get a new sofa.

Hi Cina 99,

I wrote an epic yesterday but yahoo was "on an extended coffee break!" when I tried to send it so forgive me if I bullet point & ramble!! Got it now, think it’s because my answer’s too long, will break it into 2 –3!

Did your vet do a urinalysis as well as a full physical exam?

Have you by any chance changed litter/position of tray?

Would you consider(for a short period if nec) a 3rd tray in a quiet area & an extra feeding area too?

Have you considered Feliway (feline pheremone) plug-in +/- Feliway spray on the areas he's using?

Didn't realise there was limited space, if you let me have your email, can email you the rest!

I was having the same issues with my female cat but she gets urinary tract infections so shes on a special diet. even after i put her on that stuff she would still once in a while pee on towels my sofa and my clothes. I took her back to the vet and they found no crystals in her urine so my vet suggested we put her on prozac {basically she is a scaredy cat litterally and ever since shes been on it we have had no problems with her. go back to your vet and talk to him about behaviral issues with your cat. good luck!
