How do i stop my cat from peeing on my bed?

Answer 1

From my experience, cats pee on your stuff if:

1) the litter box isn't cleaned properly
2) the cat is jealous or feeling neglected
3) a recent move made for smaller living space
4) that cat or another cat in the house is sick

Once they've marked a particular spot, they'll go back to it. There is a special cleaner you can get from PetSmart to help get the scent out of your stuff.

Make sure the cat has attention, clean litterbox and plenty of space. If all is well, check with a vet. My cat started doing that when my other cat developed a kidney infection.

Answer 2

If the cat is urinating on your bed, there may be some problem. Cats inherently use the litter box, even very small kittens. If he/she is not using the box, it may have a urinary tract infection or bladder infection. If you close your bedroom door and keep the cat away from the bed, and the problem stops, it may have been a behavioral issue but if the cat then begins to urinate some other inappropriate place, it should be seen by a vet rather quickly. Also, some cats can be very particular about the cleanliness of the litter box and if the litter box is not cleaned out on even more than daily basis, the cat may begin to urinate in other places because the litter box is "too dirty" for them. If the problem continues, it can kill the cat so it should be seen as soon as possible.

Answer 3

First have your cat checked by a vet to make sur there are no uniary problems.

Make sure you cat has access to a clean litter box at all times. Make sure your cat is safe. If you have another animal that is picking on your cat, s/he may feel unsafe and feel the need to pee where s/he is high up and has a good view. Or you may just have an onery cat

I would close off your bed room, get new bed linen, and get some spary from the pet store that eliminates pet odor.

Answer 4

if you cat has developed an urinary track infection then just like people they have a hard time controlling it. Another thing is if your cat has been sick then they won't use the litter box until it has been cleaned with new litter. My cat that I have had for 13 years started going in the bathroom floor instead of her litter box and that is what my vet told me. So get some rubber gloves and really clean the litter box good. Then again this may be a way that your cat is trying to get your attention.

Answer 5

I had this problem with my cat, Seattle, and it took a lot of patient work and careful observation to get the issue settled. First, you need either an enzyme cleaner such as Petzyme or Nature's Miracle (I've heard the NM works better) or you need to completely replace the mattress. That will reduce the desire to come back to it. Keep it covered for a while with strips of aluminum foil while you are away. While your cat may sleep on the foil, they don't like the feel for a litter surface. Treat your linens with the enzyme cleaner as well, and don't use strong scented detergents or fabric softener (these often smell like urine to a cat). Never use products with ammonia.

Secondly, you have to remember that cats are extremely finicky by nature, and it is easier for them to change and train you than for you to change or train them. I adopted Seattle from the Richmond SPCA (an outstanding no-kill shelter) at age 10. She had lived there for a year and a half, and had developed very specific litter habits. The original setup I had for her was a covered litterbox with a chunky clumping litter in the bathroom. I had three strikes against me to start. I changed to:

1. A non-covered litterbox. Seattle will enter and exit the box from different sides, and likes to stand outside the litterbox to cover her litter, because she is very fastidious about litter cleanliness.

2. A very fine-grained litter. I had called the SPCA to see what type of litter they used (since they had no problems with her going anywhere but the box). I used that brand to start, and then purchases similar litter types in the future. Her paws are very soft, and the rougher, chunkier litters are uncomfortable for her.

3. Depending on where I lived, I either set down towels in the bathroom to cover the tile, or moved the litterbox to a carpeted surface. She had the same issues with feel of tile (cold sometimes) as she did with litter. She has never urinated on the towel or the carpet.

4. Clean the litterbox every 2 days. I was able to stretch this out by providing 2 litterboxes for her as well. (Again, a very fastidious cat!!)

You may also want to have your cat examined by a vet. Litterbox issues can also be indicative of urinary tract infections and other medical issues.

Answer 6

one of this cats also developed this habit, it was just his decision to prefer the bed to the litterbox, no other issue. I suggest you wash the linen (you would have to do it anyway) in some strong scented soap, or better, good dose of fabric softener and hope the cat would hate the scent and forgets about your bed by the time the linen is ready for next change.
In any case, watch the little beast, when it is just about to do it again, spank the cat in the face a little, say NO and throw it on the floor or punish it by locking it immediately in a close and dark space (cupboard or large box) for awile and dont pet it when you let it out afterwards- to get the message accross.

Answer 7

If the cat's urine went all the way through to the mattress, you need a special cleaner to try to remove the scent totally or the cat will continue to urinate on the mattress. You can try spraying a product specifically designed to keep cats and dogs off once it's cleaned. You could keep the door closed also. Male cats will mark their territory especially if they aren't neutered and if that's the case, you may as well get rid of the mattress because once the male cat has marked it's almost impossible to prevent it from happening again. Please make sure your cat always has access to a clean litter box with litter they aren't hesitant to walk on.

Answer 8

From my experience with cats, the best way to do that is to cover your bed with cat litter. The cat will not go on your bed anymore....stupid cats only go where there is NO cat litter.

Answer 9

Keep the can in a pet crate with the litterbox. That should get your kitty more comfortable with the box of glory.

Answer 10

Throw pepper on the urine push the cats nose in it and smack it on its *** with a rolled up piece of newspaper
