I love my cat with all my heart. He is an amazing sweet cat. He is 6 years old and I have had him since he was a kitten.

The problem is that he likes to pee on our furniture.

My husband is beyond fed up and threatening to get rid of the cat unless I can stop it.

My cat is healthy, we took him to the vet and he got a clean bill of health.

We live in an apartment that isn't that large but we have multiple litterboxes and they get cleaned daily. They are all open topped. One is in the bathroom and two are in a hall closet.

He has lots of toys & is played with and given lots of attention.

He has his own spots to sleep that he loves.

This is exactly what happens:

he loves to jump on my desk. I work from home and am online alot. He is a very large cat and I almost always put him directly on the floor when he jumps up. This repeats several times.

If my husband is home he will then jump on his desk if he is on his computer or on his lap if he is in the chair. My husband never allows him on his desk but will often let him lay in his lap. But if for whatever reason he is told no & put on the floor...

He is then upset.

Directly after this, He goes and finds something plastic to chew on. I have no idea how he has such a good plastic radar but he always manages to find something.

We stop him, take it away.

He then directly goes and pees on either our bed or the couch.

Sometimes he will pee on it just seemingly randomly but 99% of the time this is what has happened.

I have since had to leave my bedroom door closed at all times. Which makes me sad because I like sleeping with the cat.

We have used every cleaner known to man on the couch. Ones with enzymes made for dealing with cat pee.

I don't know what else to do.

This is like a weekly occurrence. And I do understand why my husband is upset but I don't want to lose my cat. Please help

I have never heard of this for cats, so I don't know, would it work?

But I am struggling with the same problem with my dog and  thinking of putting my eleven year old chihuahua-jack russel into diapers. He has Inter vertebral Disc Disease, a collapsing trachea and an enlarged prostate as well as arthritis and infection after infection. His accidents are out of control it's not spraying. It's more a matter of not being as mobile as he used to be, he finds it painful to get upstairs and he doesn't seem to have the same bladder control as he used to. I let him pee on papers under the kitty litter but he's still having accidents.

I know pet diapers can be expensive but they have these cloth ones I saw at the pet store where you could put a female hygiene pad for humans inside? 

I really don't know if that would work for a cat though. But maybe someone who knows more about cats could discuss. Good luck. <3
