please help us our kitten wont stop urinating on our bed
We recently got a new kitten about a month ago. we already have a 6 month old
kitten and the 2 cats get along great. they play with each other sleep with each other and groom one another. but since the day we got the new kitten he has been urinating on our bed. he is now 4 months old he was 3 months old when we got him and he was around his brothers and sisters and other cats so i dont think being around another cat is the problem. our 6 months old cat is neutured and we just got the kitten neutured to hoping it would solve the problem. but he is not spraying just urinating all over the bed and blankets. it is not the same spot every time and neither of the cats sleep in the room. but every time we forget to shut the bed room door he goes in and urinates in there. there was no medical problems when we took him to the vet last week and the vet said it would probably stop when he was neutured. we also thought he was spraying but we caught him doing it tonight and he just sits on the bed and goes. he is an outside cat and very rarely uses a litter box but he does have one and does use it if he is inside. so i know its not from having a dirty litter box. if anyone has any ideas please help us. i donse t want to bring him to the animal shelter but if this problem doesnt stop soon im not going to have any other options. please help. |

Keep cat out of your bed. Close door when you're not going to be home. Put kitty in his own room at nite. If all elses fails, make kitty outside kat. I know this whole ting can be very confusing, but you have taken the first step by reaching out to the other idiots in here like yourself. Hope this helps. IBen |

How many litterboxes do you have for your two cats. Some cats don't like to use the same litterbox as other cats do, some will use one litterbox for poop, but then like to pee in the other litterbox (and don't aways use the same litterbox for pee each time). Try adding another litterbox - in a different location from the existing one. Make sure you show *both* cats where the new litterbox is. And make sure you wash all bedding, including the mattress, with an enzmatic cleaner (some people reccomend Nature's Miracle) to get all the smell out: remember that a cat's nose is *significantly* more sensitive than yours, so even if you can't smell it, the cat probably can. Also, not sure how old you are, but it looks like a gradeschooler wrote your post as there is no capitalization anywhere - makes for very hard reading as it all looks like one sentance. Not sure if your shift button isn't working, or you're just lazy/cutting corners. How would your boss/college professor 'grade' you on a report if it were turned in like that?

Would you bring your cat to a shelter just because he sometimes pee on your bed? We had the same problem with our oldest girl when we brought home our Maine Coon, all the boxes were clean, enough boxes for both of them etc - everything was checked out... The problem is now solved by never leaving the door open except when we're in the bedroom - it's as simple as that. It's only as big a problem as you make it. - Sidsel |

Sorry , you're having problems with your kitten. first I think your kitten is far too young to be allowed outside. Its best for his sake to keep him inside or out with an escort until he is older. Bear in mind this kitten has been through a lot , leaving his old home, new cat , new territory and have an operation , that's a lot of stress. To encourage him to use a litter tray , have one for each cat, at least , in different quiet locations that are easily accessible. make sure your other cat isn't blocking his access to them. Use soil from your garden or yard in one of them. He could have started avoiding the litterbox because he associated it with the pain from his neuter. He could be using your bed because he likes the soft surface. Wash your bedding in a biological washing powder that doesn't have a strong smell. Ecover is good if you are in the UK. Alison |

You may need to simply keep him out of your room, confine him to a comfortable room with his food, water, and some toys for a few days, going in to visit him often. That has worked for me when I had a new cat making mistakes. I am also wondering if there is some problem with his neutering that is causing him pain--when cats have discomfort they often will try to go on fabric. Have you asked your vet? |

It takes about a month after a cat is neutered for the hormone levels to go down. If his peeing is caused by not being neutered you will have to wait for awhile now that he is neutered for the problem to stop. k |
