My cat keeps either spraying or pissing on the couch often randomly when I step away? (lemmy.world)

What can be done about it, she's a sweetheart but this is honestly fucked. Pepetuay clean and maintained litter box, I am exasperated as I just caught her leaving some moistness where I sit

She is spayed

Have you talked to your vet? Could be a uti.

You need to replace that couch though. Now it's been marked, it'll never stop.

I'll bring it up at her vet appt. Does it change things if there was a throw blanket somewhat shielding it?

No, the smell perists.

You can try a neutralizing agent like "nature's miracle", but if it's happened multiple times you're probably too late.

Def bring it up with the vet. When my cat started going outside of the box, it was because she had a nasty kidney infection.

Edit: also "randomly when I step away," do you mean if you're travelling? She might be stressed because she misses you and she's lonely.

No i mean even just away into another room routinely
