My cat pees on the couch, nothing works. Is it a medical issue?

Question

How can I get my cat to stop peeing on our couches? We have cleaned the cushions, used a spray of orange and eucalyptus oil on the clean cushion to deter him, double sided tape, closing the blinds to the window behind the couch (there is often a stranger cat hanging out in our backyard - maybe the issue?). Nothing has worked, and its larger puddles, not marking. PLEASE help!!! Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | neutered | 10 lbs

If it's larger puddles and not marking, then I would be concerned that there's a medical issue causing this behavior such as a UTI. I would recommend taking Ranger into the vet for an exam. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood test, and a urinalysis to determine if he does have a UTI. Should he have one, he will need antibiotics to treat it
