Answer 1

oh, i feel for you. i had a cat with the same problem. what we had to do was just put him in his box for the night. I made sure he used his potty before sent him to his "room" and i would get up a lil' early and let him out. He stopped it after a while and we let him back out during the night. he ended up liking the box and would get in there when ever we would leave it open. your cat may think u are not giving him enough attention and want you to "listen" to him when he tells u something.
anywho, good luck to u and ur kitty. hope everything works out. :)

Answer 2

Did you take him to the vet today, after he started doing this? If so and he's okay, it's sounds very like a territorial thing. I've heard of this when a girl got a new boyfriend and the cat was put out, as he reckoned HE was the male in the household.

As you've been together all the time, though, I doubt if it's that. Assuming your partner hasn't been cruel in some way, it may just be that the cat has taken a dislike to something silly, like new bed-linen or a different fabric softener on the sheets, and he's trying to mark it as his.

Try keeping the bedroom door closed and see if he pees anywhere else or if it's just the bedroom he's interested in.

If the vet hasn't seen him, though, since he's started doing this, I'd take him as soon as possible. Tomcats do sometimes have problems with the waterworks.

Good luck!

Answer 3

I used to have that problem. I couldn't really find a "solution" per-se. I started letting the cat outdoors more, even going so far as installing a cat door. She liked being outside rather than "going" inside. Regardless of whether her litter was clean. I also took to shutting the bedroom door during the day when I wasn't home. The puddles stopped. Also make sure that you go to a pet store and get some spray that helps break down the urine, even if you can't see it, it's there or at least the odor is. If the cat can smell that, it thinks that it will be an ok spot to relieve itself. If you have another pet, especially another cat, it may be the reason that the cat does this. Mine didn't like to use the same litter as anyone else, and the problem was the other cat liked to use EVERY litter box. Good luck, I hope it works.

Answer 4

what did the vet say? Here's a temporary solution only.
Cats DO NOT like the smell of citrus. Since I don't have any answers, at least keep the cat out of your room by putting some orange peels either at your door or around your bed. I've kept them out of plants that way. There's a product called Simple solution, it gets rid of the smell associated with their urine. It has a pleasant smell but it really works. If this habit has just started, I'd say your cat is sick and urinating might be painful. If that is so, can you put some type of towels down by the litter box (put something under the towels to protect your floor) so if the cat wants to use that he can. Best to you.

Answer 5

Hi,
I myself have 2 cats. One named Oscar (17) and the other one Sisu (finnish name), he is 10 months old. They are both males. Has anything changed in your the room/apartment? New litter, clothing, furniture etc. Cats like to have everything the same and enjoy routine. My older cat is 17 and I know this from experience. When I bring anything new to the apartment both cats look at it and sniff it for days and I believe it makes them nervous. My cats are very territorial. Also, do you pet him less/more etc. This may sound very strange but I take note of everything if my cats behaviour is strange. Example: My Mom gave me some clothes that she did not want and Sisu was afraid of them. My mom had a cat and maybe the odour was on them. They were also stored in my sisters basement and she had bunnies, gerbils and a puppy. Just some suggestions for you. Sometime, when I don't know what to do I give them more affection!!!! ' Good Luck I say keep the cat and get rid of the partner.

Answer 6

Leave doors open for the cat to exist if need be ..
keep the tray in a area where it is easily got at ..
and for the next 2 weeks do no allow the cat in your bed room keep it shut ..
cats do use a tray ..they do occasionally get excited and pee on bed lining or clothing..good luck

Answer 7

I would suggest putting the sheets he's peed on in the litter tray. SOunds strange, but theyre usually attracted to the smell. Its quite difficult cos once theyve got into the habit of peeing somewhere they tend to do it over and over again. There are some anti-cat sprays (don't know what the proper name is) your vet might be able to suggest some to you. Its a smell cats find offensive, you yourself probably wont like it either but if you spray it o your sheets the he should stop after a few weeks, and once hes ended the habit he probably wont start again!

Answer 8

Your partner might be the problem. How long has he or she been with you? Is your cat getting enough of your time?
Does your mate treat the cat poorly when you are not around?

I had the same issues when we added a new cat to our household and we just need to spend more time with the peeing cat. All worked out and we are all happy that it did.

Answer 9

Has he been desexed? Desexing can help.
Usually when a cat starts urinating in strange places, it is an indication of urinary problems.
Do you feed him a lot of dry food if so, stop! As this can cause cystitis in male cats, which is a urinary problem, a urine sample will confirm this, via the vet.
Were you with your partner when you got him, or did the partner come later. Could he be jealousy. (they do get jealous)
If all else fails, as hard as it may be, you will have to shut the bedroom door. Make him a nice bed in another room, with something of yours he can lay on.

Answer 10

If you can get to a pet shop, they sell things like sprays that stop cats on beds, and if the cat is deterred, he may think twice about wetting there, a pet shop is more helpful then your vet, just percevere with your cat, two many animals are dumped because they become difficult, stick with him, he will get better, remember he is at the age of a teenager and teenagers can be difficult!!
