Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2007why does my cat urinate on the bed ?
I just took in a stray cat . She was obviously a little up tight fro living on the street. She is extremley scared of humans,and confine herself in the bedroom. I understood this and figured it woould tak some time for her to warm up. I also have a kitten who i thought woul help the new cat make the transition to house life. Now i knew tha because of the paranoia of the stray that she might not come into th living room to find the litter box. I was right ,she climbed up on m bed and went. So I removed the sheets and cleaned then I had revalation. i brought the litter box into the room where she fel safe. a couple of days went by and i checked the bedroom, nothing o the bed or floor. So I remade the bed with new sheets. As soon as did, she peed on the bed. Can anyone suggest what this behavio might mea -- pual > I just took in a stray cat . �She was obviously a little up tight from > living on the street.

They're animals, dude. She probably smells a spot where you've either screwed before or where you're 'thingie' leaks out while you sleep at nite. She's an animal, so she does what comes naturally. She'd eat you if you were small enough. You do realize that, don't you...? Hope this helps... I can't be any more up-front than that.

They're animals, dude. Not necessarily. We used to do foster care for rescued cats, hundreds of them. Only once or twice did anyone pee on the bed and it was always one particular cat who, for whatever reason, seemed to be making a statement. Never figured out what the statement was, so started keeping the bedroom door closed. > >> I just took in a stray cat . ?She was obviously a little up tight from > >> living on the street.

She should be allowed free reign over all she surveys. Who are YOU that you might make RULES for anyone else to follow? If it feels good, then I say do it. Let her pee-pee freely if she so desires. That's the way evolution designed her. Not that she would have to observe some kind of bullshit 'rules' just for needing to do what comes naturally. Get it together, azzhole... NOW. IBen Getiner The scent is more in likely in the mattress you are going to have to get a urine removal product or get rid of the mattress and invest into plastic sheets Also your took in a feral cat Please tell me you had the kitten shots before this? Also from what I read you have not properly introduced the cat to the household and the other cat. The problems that you have right now are probably going to get worse. You need to keep the separate for awhile The behavior is stress and fear. It is going to take quite awhile for the feral cat to calm down if it ever calms down. > I just took in a stray cat .

Can anyone suggest what this behavior > might mean 1. Try putting this kitty in a smaller room, like a bathroom, to help her feel safe. She's terrified right now and needs lots of alone time to settle into your house. Give her a box or bed she can hide away in. Do NOT let her see your kitten right now. She is not ready yet. 2. Take her to the vet for a full check up, if you haven't already. She may have a urinary tract infection or other problems. 3. Thoroughly clean your bed, mattress pad cover, and probably the mattress with an enyzmatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. You need to make sure all the odors are removed. 4. Visit your new kitty often and talk to her softly. Do not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do; let her come to you. This may take some time. You don't know what she's been through. Good luck and thanks for taking this kitty in. Your TLC and patience will pay off in time. Rene pual;588367 Wrote: > I just took in a stray cat .

This can become a very serious issue if you don't get them checked out. > I just took in a stray cat . She was obviously a little up tight from > living on the street.

It's the same old junk that you've papped all of your friggin' days in here. And the thing iz, it never helps anybody. IBen Getiner |
