Cat peeing on leather massage chair, please help!

I have a male tabby, about 8 years old. Very healthy, been taking him
to the vet and he's in great health as well. Feed him iams every day
and his litterbox is cleaned every day. He has this obsession with one
spot in the apartment, my leather massage chair. I love this cat, he's
my best friend and I am not getting rid of him but I need to get him
to stop going on this chair. The strange part is is that Ive seen him
go in the litter box(peeing and pooping) I need 2 solutions - 1. How
do I get rid of the odor? I've tried lysol, fbreeze and its not
working, then again the fact that he keeps peeing after i clean it im
sure is not helping. 2. How can I keep him from going up there? If you
guys have any solution please let me know, I'm desperate here, thanks
so much - Chris

I've been told that leather is treated with urea which makes it smell
like an attractive place to pee; the fact that your cat's pee has never
been fully cleaned up just emphasizes the giant neon sign reading, "PEE
HERE!"

I think you might have to get a leather cleaning expert to clean the
chair. But after that it might be hard to break his peeing habit without
separating him from the chair: put it in a room with a closed door.

In male cats however, you always have to consider that they might have a
urinary problem that is making peeing in the box uncomfortable and
causing them to have frequent and strong urges to go; at which point
they might let loose right on the nice soft comfortable surface they're
nearest to. If you suspect any kind of urinary problem, take a trip to
the vet specifically to check out this concern (an ordinary wellness
exam doesn't usually include a urinalysis which is necessary to see if
anything's unusual).

Chris,



You may want to try Feliway. It stopped my cats from urinating on my
leather couches and other areas around my house. I'll post the link below.
