Your cat may be feeling stressed for whatever reason. The first thing you have to do is get rid of the urine smell on the couch. Members here say Nature's Miracle works very well to remove the smell. If the smell is left on the couch the cat will often return to urinate there.

Then you can try a product called Feliway (again members here say it works well). It may help your kitty calm down and not feel the need to urinate on the couch.

Ideally, you should get to the root of her stress/behavioral issue. Such as one of your roomates stressing her out (not being nice to her) or possibly another person who comes and goes in your home. Even cats/dogs or other animals that are outside can cause her stress. Is there anything you can think of that may be causing her to feel stressed?

my cat has done a dudu on the bed once, and it was behavioural. she was extremely stressed from the move. she did it again after we moved once more.

i cleaned the bed properly, but more importantly, i put on some cat urine eliminator liquid... i can't quite remember the name, but it's supposed to make traces of cat urine undetectable to the human nose disappear.

another tip i might add..... cat urine glows in the dark, especially under UV light. so if you want to know if you "got it all off", turn off the lights.
