Cat Chat Feline Forum

Hello everyone.. I have lost hope. Since the beginning of the month my cat has had two litter boxes and I finally decided to put the bed back in. Within the first hour, he peed on it. Both litter boxes were clean. I did get his paws checked and they are fine. What should I do now? Please help.

I appreciate the quick response, I was almost in panic mode when I saw the bed soaked in urine this morning. I will give him an additional litter box tonight and will not be giving him the bed back for a while. I really don't want to give up on him and agree with Ruth B that it's still early stages ...

Ugh.. back to the same thing. This morning when I went to feed him, I checked the bed and it was soaked in urine. To his defense though he had already used the litter tray twice. In the litter tray I saw uncovered poo at the top and after sifting there was a covered pee clump. I guess he had to go 3...

I meant to ask, now that we identified the problem. Since my cat had been using the same litter for almost a year with no issues, could it be his paws somehow got sensitive over time? Could this be a medical issue? I checked his paws and they look fine to me, but he doesn't let me touch them. My con...

Hello Ruth B, et al.. I have some fabulous news to share. My cat has not peed on the bed. He used the litter well for a day and then yesterday I placed his bed in there. Its been about 12 hours and no accidents. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am. I keep going in the room to check on the bed...

Hmm that's interesting.. why would he pee on my bed too? He seems to be peeing on everything fluffy and soft. He won't pee on the carpet or tile.

Hello Ruth B, just a quick update. I received the new litter yesterday. He's using the litter box with no issues in the study. Today I'll be putting his bed back in there. I was able to wash it really good and used this product called Odoban which seems to have taken away the urine smell. Fingers cr...

Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too! I'll keep you posted. This solution is definitely feasible if it works out. Let's keep our fingers crossed. If it does not work out, I'll try one more litter and then I'll try the towels after that so it will take some time to test everything, but I'm wi...

Hi Ruth B, today I will be receiving the new litter in the mail. I'll let you know how it works out. It supposed to be soft, but will see. I tried searching for the litter you use, is it sold here in the US? I'm willing to try different soft litters for him to see if that helps him. When I get this ...

Ruth B, your response definitely gives me some hope and I see your point about it not being an aggression/territorial issues which we kinda all thought at first. To give you some info on the litter tray. All my pans are uncovered and faily large. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008F5QANI/ref=sxts1?i...

Thank you Mayday21 and others for all the replies. I said I would keep you all posted. I bought the new bed a few hours ago and just went to check it, it was wet! :cry: The bed was brand new so it didn't have any another cat or dog smells. Could it be that he marked it to claim it? But why?! And how...

Hello Mayday21, thanks for commenting. If I get "urine off" will I be able to spray it on on my bedding and pet beds? Thanks!

Ruth B, I really appreciate the detailed response and suggestions. I will definitely give that a try. I too was not a fan of the Prozac. One of my other cats, Leo, does play with Dewey but gets very rough at times and he'll be a bully sometimes. He may be the problem and causing Dewey some stress. I...

Thanks again MarySkater! I'm definitely open to trying anything at this point. I will buy a brand new bed today and put in the study for him. Something I noticed when I saw him peeing on a pet bed is that he was sniffing it for a while and then started peeing on it. If he does not pee on the new bed...

Hello MarySkater, thanks so much for the reply. He is not declawed. My study floor is tile, no carpet. He is neutered. I have actually seen him do it. It's a pretty large puddle so I don't think he's leaking. I'm really starting to think it's territorial marking. I've had him for a year and been usi...

Hello, I need some help. Recently my 1.5yr old cat, Dewey, started peeing on my bed and other pet beds laying around the house. I ended up washing and putting away all the pet beds. I also washed the bedding on my bed really good, but no luck. He peed again on my bed and noticed he peed on the guest...
