Couch turned war zone

Who would have thought that cleaning off a couch could result in such unexpected complications. My sparing cats have turned it into a war zone.

Almost immediately after putting the blue sheet over the couch, Oreo, the bigger cat, claimed it as his making it his favorite hang out spot. After I came back from my trip last week I noticed Mindy had started sitting on the opposite end. "Oh how nice", I thought to myself. Oreo and Mindy have had a terrible time getting along with each other, even 9 months after first meeting each other, it looked like we had finally turned the corner.

A couple days later I came downstairs, petted the little darlings, made breakfast and walked into the living room to discover a dark blue spot in the middle of the couch. "Oh my, Oreo's at it again", I thought, you may recall he has a history of this sort of thing. Only thing, it had very little odor, Oreo's mark unmistakable. I got out the enzyme spray and figured the cats still a little upset about me having left them alone during my trip.

As the days have gone by I've come to realize it's Mindy doing the dirty dead, usually every other day. I've read up some more on what could account for this, even put one of the litter boxes right on the couch. Worked over the weekend, but tonight I came home and found two spots. While working on the computer, looked over and saw a third with Mindy attempting to cover up the spot, like she thought the couch a big litter box.

As near as I can tell the couch has become a battle ground for territory and Mindy finds the sheet very pleasing to rub her paws on, making it doubly more inviting than the litter box. I think I will have to find a new home for Mindy.
