My 12 yr old cat recently wet the bed (and #2 on the couch twice). I got Dr. Esley's Cat Attract and all my cats love, love, love it. Meanwhile, to keep my furniture safe, I put vinyl tablecloths (cheap) over my bed and sofa during the day. I also covered my mattress and couch with waterproof mattress covers, too. The vinyl tablecloths have flannel on the back and it keeps it from slipping around. I found them at Target.
