Most disinfectants gets rid of the smell to human noses but not to cats so will encourage her to go there again.

@bordie - I think old cats leak a bit and they don't even realise when they are doing it.

well keep it of the sofa if it leaks

You could try putting human incontenance pads down as a temporary measure while you search for a cover. They're soft for her to lie on, can be taken up when you have guests, are cheap, disposable and very absorbent.

Do a small spot test on the underneath of the cushions or somewhere like the back/sides if they are up against a wall or something to check for colour fastness good luck. In the mean time what about getting some puppy training pads to put on top of the cushion that she most likes to sleep on and put a blanket over the top. It will absorb the wee and stop it leaking into your sofa HTH xxx

That's the obvious solution but she's over 20 years old and there's nowhere else she is comfy sleeping. I have bought her countless beds and blankets but she will only sleep there. It's not ideal, trust me, but I'm not locking an elderly cat out of the only room she's comfy and happy in.

Incontinence pads sound like a good idea, thanks for that!

Fab idea about the pads, didn't even think about that! Thank you

Much as these seem to be slightly tongue in cheek they aren't actually very helpful. It isn't always easy or wanted to stop the animal sleeping where it does.

Not sure if this will work for you or not, but i use a drop of comfort fabric conditioner with water in a spray bottle and spray it on, acts as a kind of febreeze sort of thing. I use it on my settee but i have a leather so unsure if it will be ok for you to use or not?
