hi guys
i have a problem with my cat peeing on my couch! i found some of other people here have similar issue but mine is a little different.

so i reacued my cat about a 6 months ago. she is spayed and she used her litter box with NO problem!!
then i moved to new place and bought a new couch. she started peeing on it and my bed. i thought she was stressed out by new place and new couch. i had to wash my couch cover everyday ( with no ammonia detergent)
i cleaned the whole couch with enzyme cleaner+vinegar+baking soda.
I also tried citronella oil. she didnt mind at all! she kept going on couch and peed.
not only that, i used to cover my couch with plastic bag & foil. it worked for a few days.and today! she pee on that plastic bag too!!
i tried putting litter box on the couch and slowly moved it. now she has 2 litter box, one on left side of couch and the other one on right.

when i saw her peeing on plastic bag, i thought my self, there's no hope!!
she still use her litter box! she poops and pees! but why???? i clean the box every morning and night. no change in litter. i dont see any symptom of UTI, like bleeding or frequent access to litter box , NOTHING!

why would she do this? it's been a month since i moved to a new place and she seems totally fine. she goes everywhere in this apartment, plays on her tree and tables!

i have no idea!! i make sure to play with her everyday!

please help ! i need some good advice!

Your couch probably has traces of cat urine that only your cat can smell so she keeps on going back. You may have to redo the cleaning. In the meantime, look for other natural cat repellents you can try other than citronella (it doesn't affect my cats either).
