hes almost a year old. hes box trained, but he hasnt been spayed yet. and i know sometimes hes telling me its cause i need to change the litter, but recently right after i change the litter, he will use the box knowing its clean, and then when im not looking he will empty what seems to be a full bladder on my bed. i dont know what the deal is with him. im not sure if its urine or him spraying and how do i tell the difference. any insight would really help

Your Cat is marking his territory! The Cat is jealous of something? or someone? or you are too busy to give your Cat the ATTENTION that he wants.. He goes into your room because he can smell your scent? My cat did the same & even dragged my clothes out of the laundry basket? Give him more attention..talk to him..let him know that he is loved..have a special treat once a week! That has worked for me!!

When a cat with good litter box habits suddenly starts behaving the way yours is, it's commonly related to the fact that the cat has a urinary tract infection.
In fact, a lot of cats will actually hop up on the bed or couch and urinate in front of the owner. It's their way of letting us know that something is wrong.
If your cat does have a UTI, it's pretty inexpensive to treat but can be making him feel pretty horrible. Please get him checked out soon.
If the vet rules out an infection, then you can consider other possible problems. Of course it's always a good idea to get your cat neutered, but the fact that he's not yet may not be the cause of his new, unpleasant behavior.

I too am a lover of cats. My 5 year old fixed female is clean,
and uses the litter box nice. When I discovered stray kittens outside my home, I began to feed and befriend them. They got
used to me and I would let them inside, but I lost my temper when one of them did the same thing on my bed. I think it's pee
and was told I'd have to get them fixed. I managed to get one in to the shelter before I moved away, and I still go back to see the others and feed them too

As long as he isn't fixed he's going to keep spraying around the house. Whether it's spraying or just urinating around the house, with male cats they'll always have that hideous odor. Where he's marked his territory is where the odor is strongest. The only way to rid of that odor is to Neuter him. Unless you plan on breeding him, it's best you get him fixed :/

It's not spraying.'Landwish' is right.You should go see a vet because your cat probably has a urinary tract infection.Cats usually spray on the corners of homes,doors,windows,or any other openings that lead outside.They spray it there because it's closer to where the females are at;outside!They wouldnt normally spray in someone's bed!

You better get him fixed. You will know when he is spraying because the smell wont go away for a month if ever.

Get him fixed ASAP! It WILL make a difference. He's probably marking you as his property.
