Answer 1

Hi there...if this is something that recently developed, first consider all the possibilities such as:
- changes with litter brands
- location of the litter box isn't private enough
- some cats like to have one box to defecate and another to urinate
- cleanliness (some cats are very finicky and prefer a super clean box)
- as a general rule there should be one litter box for each cat plus one extra as a back up
- kittens who are over 5-7 months can become sexually mature and urine spray as well as defecate inappropriately to mark territory.
- senior cats develop age-related disorders such as chronic renal failure (CRF), hyperthyroidism, diabetes, etc.

If all these have been ruled out, there's a chance that your cat may have developed another underlying medical problem such as something as simple as a lower urinary tract disorder: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_feline_lower_urinary_tract_dis.html which can contribute to accidents outside of the box. Cats will associate pain while using box and change their habits as a result.

Here's an article about why cats inappropriately soil outside their litter box by Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine: http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/brochures/Housesoiling.html

House soiling is the most common behavior problem reported by cat owners. It includes urination and/or defecation outside the litter box, as well as urine spraying.

Why do cats eliminate outside of the litter box?
One common misconception is that cats soil in inappropriate places for revenge. It is tempting to conclude, "He defecated on the living room carpet to punish me for leaving him for the weekend." But this kind of calculation requires sophisticated cognitive abilities that cats aren't believed to possess. Furthermore, this conclusion assumes that cats view their urine and feces as distasteful, when in fact they do not. It is only we humans who view it that way.

Medical Problems
So why do cats urinate or defecate on your bed or carpet? Medical problems are one possibility. Inflammation of the urinary tract may cause painful or frequent urination, inability to urinate, bloody urine, and crying during urination. An affected cat is likely to eliminate outside the litter box if he comes to associate the box with painful urination, or if he has an increased urgency to urinate. In addition, kidney, liver, and thyroid diseases often lead to increased drinking and urination. Inflammation of the colon or rectum, intestinal tract tumors, intestinal parasites, and other gastrointestinal conditions may cause painful defecation, increased frequency or urgency to defecate, and decreased control of defecation. Age-related diseases that interfere with a cat's mobility (for example, arthritis, nervous system disorders, or muscular diseases), or with his cognitive functions can also influence his ability to get to the litter box in time. In short, any medical condition that interferes with a cat's normal elimination behavior can lead to house soiling.

Litter Box Aversions
Behavioral problems, such as litter box aversions, inappropriate site preferences, or urine spraying can also lead to house soiling. An aversion implies that there is something about the litter box that your cat finds unsavory. It could be the box, the litter, the location of the box, or all three.

Wow...
Ok, is the cat box trained at all? In other words she this cat ever go in the sandbox?
This cat is trying to tell you something, what I do not know.. Is the sandbox kept clean at all times, at least twice a day. Does it smell good?
If the answer to these are all yes, then for starters close your bedroom door and keep it closed at all times.
You might want to consider crate training the cat, if it's not to late.
A cat, or dog for that matter will not potty where they have to sleep, just where you sleep ( just kidding).
So try crate training it. If this does not work, make it an outdoor cat, sometimes the animal really gives you no choice.
You can always talk to your Vet, if nothing you try works.
Good Luck

there is fairly some products on the industry and that i've got found non that artwork. Cat waste is poison to vegetation, dogs waste is manure. Take your puppy doo dah from the back backyard and placed it on the flower mattress. it is going to likely be hidden via the flora, basically me, you and the cat will comprehend it extremely is there. The cat won't drop it extremely is pants have been the dogs has been, it is not a secure place. My Border Collie produces a lot and it looked a shame to waste it, so I shovel it up and placed it below the hedge. It stopped the cats traveling and that i'm recycling :0)

Answer 4

Twirl the cat by its tail very fast then release your hold and try to get a thirty feet distance and possible a record for the books. The only good reason to have a cat that is pissin on the bed.

Answer 5

Did you recently get any new animals, or have a change in the living environment? All the cats that i've known to do this did it because they were stressed by extra animals in the house. For some strange reason it often occurs when there are 3 cats, for some reason one will become stressed. Dogs can also have that effect.

Answer 6

put a trail of catnip or cat biscuits leading to a cat litter tray and whenever you think she's about to do something show her along the path. she'll soon get the message then do the same but lead her ouside

Answer 7

Have you had her checked for UTI? Peeing where they shouldn't is usually one of the first signs that something is wrong.

I had the same problem with a cat who had just gotten over the same conditions. What I finally did was start covering the bed with a plastic tarp. He went back to his box.

Answer 8

my cat use to poop in my shoes and on my sandals so we got her this really cool dome liter box, and the problem stopped, plus the stink of the littler box is gone!!!
if you're interested in one I forget what they're called but email me and I will take a picture of it and send you that so you can go buy one! they're I think $20 american and around $60 canadian. Ive had to buy one in both countries within the last 5 months.

Answer 9

unfortunately no matter what you do, the scent is now on your bed. you should flip your mattress, even if you dont think it soaked to your mattress. I think your cat is trying to get attention in the wrong way. My cat kept pooping on his own cat bed the minute i would walk in the door. i sprayed it down with all sorts of stuff but he kept doing it, so i washed it, and hid it a few weeks... no incidents, but i brought it back out a few weeks later and he did it again so i tossed it. Beds are pricey dont throw it, try flipping it first.

Answer 10

there is a (probably) serious reason for this. something is stressing your cat. or it could be in serious need of vetinary treatment. i guarantee your cat isn't doing this for fun or laziness.
p.s. cat-haters should be hunted down & shot on sight.

Answer 11

TRy shutting the door and put her out more often
