I could use some advice for Eponine

I would call the vet and she if he has any ideas. He may want to test her for a few things.

Awww, I don't know, but I hope Eppie is ok!!!!

I would have the vet run a urinalysis. To check on the UTI and see if she may have some crystals in her bladder.

Keping my fingers crossed that the meds work!

Amy you might, along with keeping in contact with the vet, want to get something that will completely clean the urine off of the love seat as well. I know you mentioned you keep washing the slip cover, but I would think it could be possible some of the urine smell seeped through to the loveseat itself. That could cause Eppie to keep going there. There was something Hissy mentioned the other day that was good. I can't remember the name but I will try to find it on a search for you.

I always suggest Cat Attract when it is a behavioral issue. My friend had a kitten who two vets checked out as FINE, but persistently peed on her bed and couch. Now that she is using Cat Attract he has stopped.

It is kind of a gross clay litter, but if it works, it's better than pee on your loveseat.

Of course make sure it is not any medical issue as well.

Good luck!

Sarah- would I put the Cat Attract on the loveseat? Or does it go in the litterbox?

Hey, no h! (Sara/h's are sensative about that - but I suppose I should put my name back in my siggy if I'm gonna get picky).

Cat Attract is a litter. My friend just uses it straight as a litter, but I've talked to people on the board that mix it in with their current litter because it is a nasty clay litter. But it has something in it that just makes Cats want to use it

Petsmart carries it I believe, I'm not positive about the other chains. You can also find it online (but I've found shipping costs on litter tend to be rather high).

I think I would also get her a new litter box, and try a litter that she's never used before. She may be associating the old litter and box with the pain she experienced. Put the new stuff near the old, and if she uses it, you can gradually move it to the old spot.

Amy, Is Epinone using the same area of the loveseat? One of the things the company I work for does is carpet and upolstery cleaning. Once a cushion is affected by cat urine we usually suggest it be replaced. The urine penetrates deeply into the foam (or whatever material it is) and we cannot completely remove it.

Hissy may have found the magic product though. If I were you I'd give that a try. Its possible that the enzymes work their way through the whole affected area.
