  Hi everybun,
  
  I have a 7 month old, neutered, delightful little Rex.
  
  He is very good when it comes to using his litter tray… except when he comes up on the sofa with us.
  
  Is there anything I can try to stop him doing this?
  
  Currently what I do is clean it up as soon as I notice, dab his pee with a little piece of toilet paper, put the toilet paper in his tray and spray the area with watered down vinegar.
  
  Any advice or ideas to help us out, would be appreciated

  Apparently the sofa is a favourite pee spot for many bunnies! I say ‘apparently ‘ because there’s a lot of people querying this, I’ve not experienced it tho as mine haven’t attempted to get on the sofa yet haha! Best you could do is either block access or try putting a litter tray on the sofa when he’s on it. Or load it up with blankets so that you can wash them easier.

  Wick travels all along the sofa, but he has “his area”. After several pee incidences, I figured I’d make him feel like the sofa was partially his so he’d stop peeing on it. On the end cushion, there’s a towel and an old t shirt that has his scent all over from rubbing it on him, leaving it in his hutch over night, petting him while on it, etc. These are laid out on a small portion of the sofa and he hasn’t really peed on the couch since.
