I have a male kitten who is wonderful, playful, and uses the litter box.
I've been sick the last two weeks (bronchitis/sinus infection) and I have had a hard time sleeping. I got up and laid down on the sofa, covered up in the blanket this morning, wanting to get back to sleep. The cat came and sat on me, which is usually a common occurrence with my cats. He sat down and within a minute I felt warm liquid on me. He peed on me. I was frustrated, so I got cleaned up and threw the blanket and my clothes into the wash.
Why the heck would he pee on *ME*? I love on him a lot, he's my baby. Is he marking me as "his" or is he mad?

Well, I can't say that I ever had any animal pee on me with the exception of young puppies happy to meet someone new & that get that uncontrollable pee-pee wiggle dance
I have had at least 2 dogs in my lifetime that would get really worried when I was seriously ill & do strange things... for example, Remi (my Carolina Dog who is also my Medical Aid Walker Dog) when he was younger would attempt to lay his entire body over my chest when I would have an asthma attack. I honestly believe he thinks he is trying to protect what is wrong with me at that time. With some work, I have convinced him to put only his head over my chest... sometimes it has even helped catch my asthma attacks fast & now I use 1/2 as much Albuteral
However, I am simply taking a stab in the dark that your male kitty is worried about his damsel in sickness... and perhaps he may be stressing out & peeing as act of stress over his concern for you.
My guess is that he loves you as much as you love him & he doesn't know how to help you... animals do strange things when their truely loved owners are sick.
If this is a territorial thing & he is a "Kitten" then perhaps it is time for neutering.. male cats are notorious for marking anywere & everywhere in the house.. get him fixed before the problem becomes un-managable

Don't be offended. Since cats can't talk and let you know when something is wrong, this is a sign. Peeing outside of the litterbox (not to scare you) usually signifies that something is wrong. If he is litterbox trained already, and he went outside the box, it's a behavioral thing. Call your vet and have him checked. if it is a Urinary Tract Infection, then it can be treated but it is something to take seriously. There is a possibility that he could be going other places that you don't know about too. Call your vet asap. Good luck and hope this helped!

Yeah cuz my dog and her were playin and my dog scared it by barking. So she jumped on my lap and stood there 4 awhile. And I wondered why so as soon as she jumped off I felt my pocket looking 4 a dollar, and after I could not find it I went to my lower pocket and as soon as I touched it that whole bottom was soaked. I did not punish my cat though, I can't blame it was scared!!!!!! Well as some vets say not all cats r teritorial. Maybe the other cats were usin the litter boxes and the blanket you were on just happened to be soft or he could be teritorial and peed on u 2 tell other cats that he was on u 1st.

Nope,you wrong on all 3 things: 1. He is not your "baby", he is a cat - lovable, but an animal. 2. He's not marking you as his territory (spraying), and #3. He's not mad at you. Perhaps, because of your coughing there is an odor of the slight urination that may occur when you cough hard and he smelled that and assumed it was okay for him to pee there. However, if it happens again you might take him to a vets and see if he has a urinary tract problem - this is not a normal thing for a pet to do.

Relaxing makes him go... He thinks of you as safe and sat on your lap... Well... It's normal. It's not a territory thing... In the wild is't ok for animals to pee on one another. He's just letting you know you're part of his family.

what it is ..is he is marking you as his...your his territory....neutering usually solves this...i cant let my male cat in my bed or near my cloths or he does that...now that he has started he may start spraying on everything of yours he can get his paws on..dont leave cloths on the floor or let him in your room...if it smells of you bad..he will spray on it...gl

YOU DON'T SAY HOW OLD HE IS. IS HE FIXED? SOUNDS LIKE HE'S MARKING YOU AND IT'S NOT CUTE OR FUNNY. GET HIM FIXED BEFORE YOUR HOUSE SMELLS LIKE A SKUNKS DEN.
