Answer 1

1. It is imperative to evaluate and rule out a medical cause for the problem. Have your cat checked thoroughly by your veterinarian first.
2. Remove covers from litter boxes.
3. Give the cat a choice of litter types. Cats generally prefer unscented clumping litter with a medium to fine texture.
4. Scoop at least once a day. Once a week, clean the entire box with warm water (no soap) and completely replace litter.
5. Clean “accidents” thoroughly with an enzymatic cleanser designed to neutralize the odor.
6. If the cat is soiling around just a few spots in the home, place litter boxes there. If it is not possible put a box in one of these spots, place the cat’s food bowl, water bowl, bed, and/or toys in the area to discourage elimination.
7. Offer different types of litter in boxes placed side-by-side to allow the cat to demonstrate his preferences for litter type.

Answer 2

Get yourself some laundry detergent which has only enzyme cleaners in it and wash everything with that. Some cleaners can attract cats back (such as ammonia or bleach as they're both contents of cat urine) or not eliminate the smell (even if we can't smell it) so they will keep soiling the same spot. It may have been territory marking (she's letting all know it's HER bed and to stay away) or it could be because we sweat when we sleep and the pheremones in our sweat can be interpreted by cats as another cat's pee. The other reason could be something's changed and she doesn't like it, it may be a new piece of furniture, rearranging the old ones, a new quilt cover, a new decoration, another person in the house, moving house, packing..someone new around the house or a guest she doesn't like...there are lots of reasons.

You may need to lock her out of the bedrooms for a few months, often that's all that's needed to break the habit. Perhaps another litter tray nearer to those rooms if they're upstairs or out of the way?

Also if you get some feliway (can't remember what it's called in the US- comfort-zone?) and spray on the bed and around the home, this contains soothing pheremones for cats and is often useful for these situations, it helps them feel happy and reduces their stress.

You may be cleaning the litter box TOO much, yes cats are fussy and don't like dirty boxes but some don't like too clean a box either and are sick of putting their scent in there just to have someone remove it again lol

Have you changed the type or brand of litter? Is the litter scented? This can sometimes make cats go outside the box. Perhaps add more trays and give her a choice of litter and see which she prefers to use.

Also have you considered a little friend for her? Two cats are better than one, she may be lonely. I have a cat (also siamese) that peed everywhere until we got a kitten, we had lost our old cat some time before and she was pining for him. When we brought the kitten home, she mothered it and hasn't peed anywhere outside the box since.

She might be bored, look up environment enrichment cats online and find some cheap and easy ways to keep her amused and exercised. This could be making her unhappy.

Good luck, I hope you find a successful solution.

Answer 3

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing!

Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

Answer 4

There are many reasons she could be doing this: her litter is not being kept clean enough, she doesnt like the type of litter (scoopable vs non scoopable), she has a urinary tract infection, or she just wants attention. Cats like to pee on soft things, so beds, clothing baskets and rugs are often targets. Until you figure out what is wrong, try and keep her away from the bedroom. Also, since the smell of urine is hard to get rid of, even after the problem is resolved she may go on the bed again. The best way to get rid of the scent totally is an enzyme based cleaner, found at most big pet stores. They are pricey, but do work. Good luck!

Answer 5

If you can provide your cat , a flat tray with a sand filled to 3/4th near its litter box; it will be surely tempted to pee only in the sand.
