i got a friendly 4 month old kitten 2 weeks ago. She is a doll faced persian and is very playful and adorable. She is liter trained but the issue is that in the 2 weeks she has been here she peed on my mom's sofa twice, and that too in the same spot. I clean her liter box twice or thrice a day. The liter box is located in an open area and i sometimes even carry her and put her in the litter box when i see her sniffing around or i feel like its been a while since she went.
I sprayed around the couch with vinegar and kept a close eye on her whenever she is in my mom's room after the first event. all was well for a week but a few days later she peed again. no one has seen her pee on both occasions. Now my mom has given me an ultimatum that if she pees outside her litter box again my mom won't let her inside her room and maybe not keep her. we live in a tropical area so its the summer nowadays and the a.c is on in my mom's room.
The second time she peed on the sofa the door was wide open of that room but yet she chose to pee on it.
sometimes i notice my kitten just sitting or doing nothing and when i put her in her litter box she uses it. it seems like she waits until its urgent and then she goes.
i dont know why. i use unscented litter, i keep the area accessible and clean.
i have taken her to the vet thrice for her shots, deworming and ear cleaning. the vet told me to hit her lightly on the nose with a rolled sheet of paper if i catch her peeing outside the litter box.
what should i do?
