COCO peeing on sofa UPDATED!

ElusiveLucy

If he had peed on the sofa before surely the cushion itself is going to stink of pee and just washing the cover isn't sufficient? I think I would cover that area of the sofa in a puppy pad. It is very distressing though.

One of my old ladies has taken to poohing over the side of the litter tray (and no I can't get an enclosed one due to where I have to locate it) and it is horrible cleaning it up at least once a day, sometimes more. I have no idea why she's doing it....possibly losing her sense of spatial awareness as she gets old

Have you tried a strong neutralising spray to remove all odour.This stuff got the smell of urine out of my car seat after an unfortunate accident during a vet trip.

Otherwise I would suggest a plate of orange peel or put his food temporarily on the sofa. They won't toilet where they eat.

The cushions on my sofa are the wool filling in a netting bag type, fibre fill i think its called, I wash the cover, and take the fibre fill in a bag out back, and soak it with a hose pipe, i then get neutradol powder, and oxy platinum gel, water and make up a spray bottle, saturate with spray leave for a few hours, then come back and squeeze as much water out the cushion as possible, i then place towels and tarpaulin on the kitchen floor and fire up the heating on full blast and dry it on radiator that way or leave to bake in the sun in summer. As autumn has hit us, i dont want to be doing this again this year so ill try puppy pads, i can only find the small type locally so i am ordering the larger sheets online. thanks for the tipe.

We have leather sofas, so they are not ruined even if our 2 cats pee on it or scratch it:rotfl:

Have you been watching for tray blocking?

no 4 cats. ive been keeping an eye out for it but not seen any tray blocking going on, he did it when even when it was only him here at one point. He hasn't done it for a while now, ive been keeping the door closed and only allow him in when I am in there.

Sure about that, Most leather although resilient are sloped back so when a cat does pee it runs into the channel behind or between the cushion pads and onto felt the leather does absorb some of the urine and its smell too.

I'd love to know where decbel has found a free Ragdoll! I might be biased but I believe they really are worth what they're worth! I don't think I'd get any other breed now. Even though one of my boys is a bit of a pain too:D

Nova pees on the floor occasionly. Like you, I've exhausted all options. No idea why he does it. Only thing I can think to suggest is placing his food bowl where he's peeing for a while. I know it will be strange but this seems to have worked for Nova. Only problem is, he goes in a few places, not just one!

Our 9 month old dog does this, pees on the bed, and we never see her do it, but find it later on.

The only solution seems to not let her have free run of the house, which is sad. We can only let her be free in the house when we can watch her constantly. Otherwise she has to be crated, or put outside in the back yard. Fortunately, she likes her crate, and she likes the back yard. I should also mention that the bed she has been peeing on is not the one we sleep on every night. It is in the guest bedroom. What's weird is that she could have peed on the tile floor below the bed, but no, she jumped up onto the bed and peed right on the bed. The guest bed has a vinyl cover, since we let guests sleep on it, and we want to protect the mattress from whatever they might bring in with them (such as bed bugs), so fortunately, the mattress was protected from the pee by the vinyl cover.

UPDATE!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Since 30th last month, COCO has lost a lot of weight and is lethargic off his food so I rebooked him in vets. He had his bloods taken, Pulse was slow, was dehydrated (although he drinks little and often), and breathing was laboured a little (no cough).
I mentioned none of this was evident last month when I brought him up about his urinating on sofa saga's. Although a different vet to last who saw him stated that the last vet would have only been a basic check over and nothing reported by us that anything else was symptomatic or problematic to him.


Bloods came back, Its not good, His liver O2 saturations are low (lacking oxygen to the liver), there is also other abnormal results that they want to discuss today at our appointment.


The short of it, Is that they are 95% sure Coco is displaying Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM hearth disease) symptoms and the outlook is bleak at best for him at this stage, Although to fully diagnose a heart scan would need to be performed but not essential, as thyroid results are normal.


I'm going to be making one of the toughest decisions any pet owner has to make, I hope with the research ive done, and the rest of the info from the vet, I can make the best decision based on the evidence. If he is at advanced stage then its time to say good night, ive had some really lovely "cwtches" (cuddles in welsh) and good memories.


Ill update you all more when I have come back from vets AFTER LUNCH.
