TLDR: cat peeing on couch with no medical issues
We have an 8 year old male cat. He’s never had issues with going outside of the litter box. We moved to a new apartment about a year ago and he started peeing on our couch. We’ve used odor eliminator, vinegar, ground coffee grinds, leaving the cushions outside. Nothing worked. We took him to the vet and they didn’t see any crystals or inflammation in his bladder. They gave us gabapentin but still he continued to pee on the couch. We finally had to get rid of the couch because of the smell and we couldn’t keep up with him peeing. Our new couch arrived and thought the new smell wouldn’t tempt him to pee. However, we just found a spot he peed on and we’ve only had our couch for a little over a week. We are finally tarping our couch and will not allow him on it. Any advice would help.
