Why does his cat pee on my myLot friends bed?

Ok - easy answer. Cats - especially male cats - pee to mark out "their territory" - it is a way of saying this is "my home and my teritory, and no one can take it away from them". It makes the feel safe and secure to have their own scent around them. If your friend's cat is scared and paranoid anyway, chances are he was ill-treated or traumatised somewhere in his past, and he is peeing to make himself feel more secure and like he has a "real" home, that no one can take away from him. Punishing him, shouting at him etc will not cure the problem - it wil only make him more scared and then he will do it more. First - if he is male - get him neutered. Castrated cats do carry out this sceting thing less than un-neutered ones, though it will not be the total answer. Tell your friend to make the cat feel loved, secure, pet him as much as he can, and don't punish him for the "accidents" as that will make him more paranoid. Always provde a clean litter tray with fresh itter as well of courzse - cats are fastidious and generally don't like using the same litter more than once. Also - probably sounds daft - but if your friend can stand it, put some orange peel around hisbed, because cats HATE the smell of oranges, and he won't want to pee anywhere near it, but it won't hurt him. I have 5 cats as you know - only one of mine peeed (a stray I took in who had been really badly abused and ill-treated), and I admit it took me a couple of years to stop his habit - but it worked eventually. Good Luck, and please tell your friend not to give up on the poor little thing!

Some cats pee or poo in a specific person's area because they are feeling mad at the person or because they want to be the alphacat over the person! Is the person very loud when talking, does he yell at the cat, shut him out of the room, etc? Another reason may be if the cat can smell another animal smell from that room. Has another animal ever peed or pood on or near that bed? Or maybe do stray cats hang around outside the window? My cat started peeing in the basement every day when he saw our neighbor's cat outside. It also may be because he is unhappy with his litterbox and is trying to spread the news.

Good discussion, and I have rated you a ++ again for it. It can be a few reasons that the cat is doing this. It can feel threatend by someone, and will do that to the one they love as a territorial thing. Or, the cat can be sick. It is bad behavior, but has it been doing it for 2 1/2 years? Or is this recent? If it is recent, then something spooked it. Is there a new animal in the house? Have this person moved? Cats are strange creatures of habit and territory. Once they find out what is wrong, they can remedy it. Just, don't let it go on too long. Make sure the vet checks this cat out first. I had a persian cat that was sick with the runs, and all the litter stuck on his butt. He could not lick it all off, and he had to have a bath. He was so tramatized from it, that after that, for the next 10 years, he would not make in the litter box. He would make in a rubber plant, and then burry nothing in the litter. Weird? But, things like that happen with them. Just don't hit the cat, or punish it. It will make it worse. Also, the litter box must be very clean. Did your friend change the brand? That can do it too.

Cats can't talk and this is the only way they can express themselves is by doing this behavior, there is a reason for it, a cat would not do this just because. Has your friend checked the cat box lately to make sure it is clean? Cats really hate dirty cat boxes. Has he been feeding the cat with food and water? Your friend needs to check everything on this cat, there is a reason for this madness.

I'm thinking that because the cat has been there once, he has now "marked" that spot and it can be a very difficult habit to break. Your friend will need to wash his bedding very throughly in a hot wash cycle, or maybe even have it professionally cleaned. He needs to make sure there is a litter tray available for the cat and his bedroom door should be closed at all times. The cat SHOULD start to use the litter tray so long as your friend shows him where it is, but there is also a danger of him just choosing another spot. If he does, then I would suggest making sure your friend has a supply of cleaner to get rid of the smell of cat pee, otherwise the cat will continue to mark the same spot. I wish your friend the very best of luck in solving this issue.

I have had a couple of male cats that have done the same thing. First, make sure the litter box is clean and that the cat can get to it. It's also possible the kitty is sick and needs to see a vet. Boy cats get a urinary problem kinda like kidney stones. There are special cleaning items - ask at a pet store. -or get new bedding. Kitty will smell his scent even after washing. Sometimes certain fabric softeners work as well. Or kitty is just really pissed-off at this guy!

What do you expect from a Moggie, housetrained or not - they still don't have any manners,us canines are much more considerate of our owners, don't ask for much at all, 3 square meals a day (or oblong if they are bone shaped), a couple of walks (good exercise for the owners) - how often do you see a cat on a lead? and we give a lot of real affection to our owners. medical research suggests that having a dog lowers the owners blood pressure considerably - sometimes enough to dispense with blood pressure medication. A dog will always listen to your problems and give a good welcome when you return home, patting a dog is theraputic as well, how often will a cat let you pat it? My suggestion therefore is to trade in your paranoic cat for a lovable dog. Have a Woofable Easter. And if you cannot follow my sugestions then have a PURRFECT Easter instead.

I do think the cat is not trained so he is goin to the toliet on your mylot friends bed. I think the best thing your friend could do is start to train him to go else where on newspaper.What often works is sticking a dogs nose into newspaper for him to sniff his own pee the cat does not like this and eventualy stops peeing on your mylot friends bed.

I have a male cat. He was litter trained and an inside cat when I got him. He has never peed or pooped inside 0other than in his tray. He will wake me in the morning if he really needs to go outside and this morning he rushed out to pee nearly knocking me flying. He usually has a bit of a look around first. I'm a bit hesitant to put his litter tray outside yet. I leave him inside when I go out but he still hasn't used his try since he first went outside.

Cats are creatures of habits.... once they start doing something.. it is likely they keep doing it over and over again... Most of the posters here have the right way to handle it.. get the cat spayed is a first step...always making sure the litter bin is clean is another.. I've been very lucky, my 7 cats all use ONE litter bin.. I've heard of owners who needs to own separate litter bins for all their cats!! Another way that he might want to try.. and a vet actually taught me this is to throw something real loud at his direction when he's caught in the act.. something that rattles or just an empty tin with marbles inside or something...that should - hopefully - scare him off the area totally.. Good luck to your friend... and remember.. what the cat does is without malice... he or she probably like the soft cottonly feeling on his/her butt while doing his/her "business"...

My female initially used to do this because she had a urinary tract infection.. once that got cleared up, she still did it on ocassion but that was always when something big happened in her life that obviously she didn't agree with. It happened every time she and I moved, when I got my dog, when I moved bedrooms and my roommate took over my old one (she peed on his bed that time). Since your friend has only had the cat for a few months, he may either be telling your friend that he's in pain (UTI or bladder infection) or that he disagrees with being moved and given away and is trying to express that. Cats really don't adapt well and although you both may not think it's malice, cats see things from a different point of view and since he can't sit down and explain that he's not happy and the reasons why, he'll do the next best thing -- 'Hey! Notice Me. I'm not happy, see? Wetspot beside your pillow.. you'll notice that, right??'.

First, never, never, stick an animals nose in their own pee or poo! I studied vet. assisitant and it said they can get parisites up their nose if you do that. Second, we had a cat who didn't care where he used the bathroom and nothing we did helped. He went in my husbands chair, so when my sister came down we gave it to her. She said he is just wanting attention, so she let it sleep with her. You're probably thinking he peed on the bed, close, he peed on her chest. But she took it home anyway, and it was there a day and pooed in her boyfriends chair. I think it had a problem whit men in gereral but the cat was a girl.

the problem is that the cat did it once and beleaves that he can do it many more tell him to put the cat outside.

oh my god
