I understand you perfectly, Kirsten, and I have no more advice . We love our cats, but it is so irritating!

Like Ivy, Peppito is a stress pee-er. Or when he does not like something, he will pee. For example when another cat or dog comes into his house, he will pee on carpets, usually not immediately but a few hours later. Is he kind of marking his territory?

He also does it with new furnitures. Is it the odor that he doesn't like? I don't know. He did it a few months ago with new chairs! He peed on several of them! I covered them with little pillows, that I still had to wash several times. And now he dose not do it anymore! Sometimes he pees on a box I bring him to play with. And he also peed on a little carpet I put at the entrance door. After several washings, I gave up with this carpet, put it in the garage and replaced it with another carpet. And with this one, no peeing problem at all!
