Kitten Peeing on Rugs and Furniture?

Just before Christmas 2019 my sister brought home a kitten from the vet's office who was going to be put to sleep because his owners didn't want him. I took him in and hadn't had any problems until the new year. He is approximately 19 weeks old.

About a month and a half ago I found a poo on our rug. The night before I had just wormed him and it was a syrup so I just put it down to stress because of the situation. He was using his litter tray perfectly before this and kept using it, but every few days there would be a poo on the rug. I tried pet carpet cleaner, but it didn't work so we just ended up rolling up the rug and putting it out of the way. Then he was using his littler again perfectly until he started peeing on our sofa. It go so bad that we had to throw the sofa away and I replaced it with a bean bag for the time being. I've just come home from work to find that he's peed on the bean bag now. I don't know what to do? Whatever I move or replace he pees on the next thing I put there. He has a good diet, he's wormed regularly, he's putting on weight consistently, he's had all his up to date on vaccinations, and generally he's a really well behaved kitten. Please if anyone has any advice I would be grateful.

I would follow the work of Jackson Galaxy, the guy from My Cat from Hell. He states that with a lot of cats it boils down to territorial problems - in particular to having lots of high places in which to perch so that he can be above other people and animals.

He suggests 'catifying' the house by installing shelving, having cat hotels, and even a 'catio' if you have the possibility.

I feel so sorry for you and know you are trying so hard. We did adopt a male cat who was just fine until one day he decided to stop using his litter box and instead go behind my toilet and pee and poop on he rug. I tried it all to get him to stop. I finally found a cleaning spray that had orange oil listed as one of the ingredients and started to use this when the cat would poop or pee behind my toilet.

It worked and he finally stopped. I would clean it up with paper towels and find a spray with orange oil in it. This should do the trick it did for me.
