Long story short it's been a stressful few months including nightmare house purchase, temporary accommodation and i'm overdue with first baby.
Moved into our new house just over a week ago - things were good, litter trays used and no issues (pushchair got peed in but was in an exciting little corner smelling all fresh and was on day 2 of being here so I don't think it was marking?)
I mistakenly had the door closed for about 2 minutes to the bathroom with the trays in and smallcat peed downstairs on the rug 2 days ago - doesn't seem stress related but now despite the numerous odour neutralisers, carpet cleaners (pet ones), citronella spray, lime essential oil and tin foil he is determined to pee there.
Caught bigcat once peeing but he has gone back to litter tray now.
Smallcat knows he shouldn't pee there as I saw him squat, told him no and he ran off upstairs to pee in the tray instead.
Every night since though he has peed (and pooped) in different spots on the rug.
Any suggestions? Am going to try thoroughly cleansing the rug but it seems more habit than scent based?
Ps yes we have lots of feliway around to help.
