This question has been covered thoroughly, but I have a new idea and want to know if anyone has made this association. Our kitty is 2 years old and never did this until we got a brand new couch. No UTI, he's on anxiety meds. I use pheromone plugins and have clean and plentiful litter boxes. The only change is that we threw out the old couch and got a new one from IKEA. I was thinking...
My old couch was black and cushy. My new couch is gray and cushy. The litter and litter boxes are gray and cushy. Am I on to something?
Could this be as simple as color? Just curious if others have had noticed anything specific about the couch color or fabric that could make sense of this. I am at my limit. If I can't figure this out, I'll have to apply the old saying; "if you can't beat him, join him", but I am not looking forward to watching movies from the litter box.

How long has he been on anxiety meds? Could be a combination of the colour of and the anxiety meds. I'd ask the vet.
It could be. Get rid of his scent by using an enzyme based cleaner such as Natures Miracle. And do consult the vet.
I have never seen a cat change his behavior in response to color. I would guess this is most likely the new couch doesnt smell like home so he is doing a little marking. I have had good luck with the pheromone spray.
