Won't stop pooping on the couch!

[Buttercup n Charlie]

Buttercup is now 3.5 months and doing very well with her cage litter training and she doesn't poop anywhere outside. But she keeps pooping on the couch every time she climbs up, even when she is on our lap while we are sitting on the couch she fully goes there!

We tried giving her cage time whenever she does that so she knows she shouldn't do that, but she still won't shake the habit. What do we dooooooooo??

Buttercup is becoming a teenager and this is her way of saying "this couch is mine". Time to have "the talk" with the vet....

I would just stop letting her on the couch altogether. If you don't want to do that, and she never gets rid of the habit, I would put a towel or some type of covering on the couch to protect it. Are you more concerned about her behavior or her ruining the couch? You should also get her spayed anyway.

 

[Buttercup n Charlie]

Both, concerned about her behavior and the couch! She is sometimes good and she stays for a long time on the couch without pooping, but most of the time she goes. And when she does she is immediately put in cage time so she knows not to do that. but she still does it.

We are spaying her in a couple of weeks actually.

We would like her to be more obedient I guess. And she is not old enough that I can give her treats constantly. We do give her thin slices of carrot whenever she is good though.
