Hi, Hope that someone will be able to help. I have a 3 year old, healthy, happy spayed female who never had any toilet issues. Since she was a kitten she was always very well trained. Some 3 months ago she started occasionally pee around the house: first when we come back from holidays peed on our bed while we were sleeping - sure we were convinced it was because we left her (in our house with my brother who lives with us and knows her, so no major stress), second after Christmas when my sister brought her dog (need to mention the dog visited us before on several occasions, no love between them, but no major stress either), she peed exactly on the spot where the dog was sitting, and then it started with my brother room, same spot, practically once a week for 3-4 weeks. The vet checked her and decided that she was perfectly healthy, but the new girlfriend of my brother could be the problem - she visits us or my brother goes to her, she does not like cats, so my cat is marking her territory to claim it back. Fair enough. We have got Feliway, we have given her some Zylkene 75mg to help to calm her down, we play with her and show her lots of attention, I leave treats hidden around the house when I leave so she has something to do during the day, should have also mentioned that she has got a cat flap for the last 8 months, so she is free to go outside even when we are not at home (except of the time when is locked during the night) and yet yesterday after 11 days since the last episode, she peed on the sofa practically in front of our eyes, as we were sitting down to eat our dinner. I really don't know what to do anymore....I clean it with everything I can find the enzyme cleaners, peroxide, bicarbonate of soda, vinegar etc. I don't know anymore what is causing it, how to eliminate the stressor as I have not been able to narrow it down to one thing and most importantly how to make her to stop....Please help
