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

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

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

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.
