Oh, where to start....We recently got a new couch. The old one belonged to my mother-in-law, who had a dog and two cats. Shadow used to poop all over it. We tried putting an extra litter box on it to teach her to go in the litter box instead of on the couch. We tried putting her in the litter box every time she looked ready to poop on the couch, but she would just wait and do it again. Then we got her fixed and she got much better, but still tried to sneak in a few poos whenever she wasn't being watched. Not that big a deal, as it was an old couch. Well, on Friday we got a new couch. She avoided it until yesterday, when she started jumping onto my lap and eventually she was just all over this new couch. I had high hopes because this one couldn't possibly smell like any other animals. I know it has other unusual smells, but in time it will "blend in" with the smells in our home. Anyway, she decided to poop on it last night. She was sitting on my lap when I notice her backing her rear end up against the back of the couch. I nudged her back onto my lap and she jumped to the floor. Then she jumped right back up and did it again, but this time she stayed in my lap and poopedthere when I nudged her away from the couch. I really don't want to keep a litter box on there because it's brand new. Would itwork to havea litter box on the floor by it, or does it need to be on it forthe messageto be effective? Do I just try to keep her off until it doesn't smell so foreign to her anymore?Maybe she'sjealous that I wasn't on the floor with her as much the last couple days? Any ideas/suggetions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
