How to Stop Your Cat from Peeing on the Bed: Solutions and Tips

Many years ago, out of the kindness of my soul, I picked up 2 pure white kittens with different eyes (one brown, the other blue) from the street. Knowing that if there are already pets in the house, guests need to be kept in a separate room so that the incubation period passes in case of any disease.

How to Stop Your Cat from Peeing on the Bed: Solutions and Tips

The kids lived in the bathroom, but they were so lonely and sad that I, out of the kindness of my heart, let them out to meet Musya and Boris ahead of time. At that time I didn’t have Sutulenky yet.

They immediately found a common language with Boris, he loved them madly, constantly licked their snow-white fur, played with them and taught them how to live. Musya stood aside and watched the cheerful trio, sitting on the top shelf.

I began to notice that the cats’ faces and ears began to go bald. I took them to the veterinary clinic. It turned out that the boys had lichen. So the lichen successfully spread to both Boris and me. Of course, I cured everyone, although it took a lot of work. Musya did not get shingles, but she received a prophylactic dose of medicine.

So, Boris had lichen all over his face, treatment was difficult, he did not take injections or sprays. And one day he piled a huge pile on the bed, and then began periodically peeing on the pillow.

Boris is a big, beautiful neutered cat, very affectionate and smart. I’ll say right away that I never punished him for this, understanding that the problem is somewhere deep, and not that the cat is “taking revenge” or just doing shit out of spite.

No matter what I did, I had to wash my clothes every day. I bought a waterproof mattress cover and, when leaving for work, I put it on the bed on top of the pillows and blankets. I simply put the pillows in the closet, spread disposable diapers all over the bed, raised the mattress and put it on its edge to prevent peeing.

It seemed to me that the cat pees on the pillow in any incomprehensible situation:

• when strangers appear in the house;
• when another pet appears in the house;
• when the potty is dirty and not washed in time, and even due to poops not being removed from the tray in time.
• For some, this behavior may be a sign of illness. It is worth checking the cat’s health.

For some reason, someone’s cat doesn’t like the litter, the tray itself, or its location.

For three cats we had 2 trays filled with silica gel, I honestly admit, in order to save money on filler, silica gel is not a very cheap pleasure.

I chose the filler at my own discretion, the main thing was that there was no smell, I tried both mineral and clumping ones, but settled on silica gel.

And then I decided to experiment and bought a third tray. Nothing has changed.
Then I bought forest filler and poured it into one of the trays. And, lo and behold, Boris peed in it.

Since then, I have stopped discovering wet pillows after guests arrive or when I am away from home for a long time. Interestingly, Boris uses this tray for peeing, and puts poop in trays with silica gel. Other cats have not changed their preferences; they dug into the silica gel and continue to dig.

In general, all this is as animal psychologists say: for pets to live comfortably in an apartment, each of them must have their own tray (that is, if there are three pets, then there are three trays), their own scratching post and their own house-personal space.
