What Can I Do To Help This Cat?

IMO the cat is peeing on the bed to get your attention. Make the
cat sleep
somewhere else. Your the boss, you can't let her kick you out of
your own
bed!! Now you are no longer sleeping there, she must think she's
won and
has claimed your bed as her own space.

I don't think the cat's peeing on beds to get attention or to turf
her owner off the bed or to mark her territory This cat has been
through major life changes and feels threatened by the resident cat .
She's weeing on the bed because that is where her owners scent is
strongest to reassure herself. She's trying to create a group scent ,
which is why cats also rub their faces on people and other cats .
putting a tiny bit of litter from each cats tray into the other cats
and rubbing a tissue on the face glands and then rubbing on the other
cat also helps a group smell. This helps cats accept each other.



My friend had a similar problem with her 2 cats fighting, her
solution was
to put the cats in 2 separate cages and leave them in the same room
for a
couple of hours at a time. Over the days, she moved the cages
nearer and
nearer to each other so they got the cats got the opportunity to get
to know
each other in a non-life threatening manner. They got used to each
other
eventually. Patience is the key.

That would help and also feed tasty treats as well so they
associate nice things with each other.

inappropriate urination is often one of the first signs of UTI --
easy to detect and treat, but it can be fatal (and quickly) if left
untreated.

She has not urinated in at least 24 hours..she's been caged and uses the box in
the bed. I have to bring her in tomorrow..I can't wait anymore.

Putting her in the bathroom would not force her to use a litterbox..

Right..then it would be an exercise in wasting time, right?

No, my point was that it would be easier for you to clean while you worked
on detecting the source of the problem (such as possible UTI) and on
learning how to acclimate the two cats to each other. I considered this to
be a temporary measure. I certainly did not mean that you should just place
her in the bathroom indefinitely.
