Cat is pissing on couch, advice anyone?

My boyfriend wanted to make our cat wear kitty depends - LOL! I don't think they exsist, though... But seriously, take your cat to the vet for a checkup to be sure it isn't a health problem. Sometimes cats try to "let us know" in the only way they can that something is wrong. It also could be a "behavioral" problem. That said, it will not do any good to try to "discipline" your cat, instead try to identify the source of what is upsetting her and eliminate it. She may be seeing another cat outside or having a conflict with another pet in the household or it could be stress from recent changes in the household. My cat started urinating on my leather couch (previously he only uriniated on the bed - now I keep bedroom door closed when I am not in the room) Regarding the couch, I now have a fabric couch (instead of leather) and I protect it (when I am not sitting on it) with a outdoor/patio furniture couch cover that is waterproof (bought online). If accidents do happen I can easily clean the area with an enzymatic pet urine/odor remover spray or wash the cover in the washing machine on gentle and let it air dry. The enzymatic cleaner is especially important because if you do not fully remove the smell, your cat will tend to keep going back to the same spot to urinate. Also, be sure you keep the litter box clean, provide easy access, remove hood if there is one, have more than one litter box, try different types of litter (Cat Attract, Feline Pine, Tidy Cats Small Spaces, etc...) Also, you might look into Feliway plug-in difusers and refills. They plug into your wall outlet like air freshener but they are filled with simulated cat pheromones which have no smell to humans but it makes cats more calm and relaxed. I hope this info helps. It is not a fun problem to have but I am sure you love your kitty very much and there are ways to deal with this issue. Be sure and ask your vet for advice when you take her for the checkup - I am sure they will have lots of good advice for you, too!
