Question

My son's 7- month old neutered male cat keeps peeing on the bed! He shares a house with other people and it's causing problems as he's not fussy whose bed he pees on! The cat's sister from the same litter lives there too (she's been spayed) they have a litter tray each and get on well. She doesn't 'go' anywhere other than the litter tray. My son may have to rehome the cat but it reluctant to do so as he's a lovely affectionate cat, there's just the 'peeing problem' - can you give us any advice please?

Already Tried:
shutting doors so he cannot get into bedrooms, but as soon as someone forgets he goes in and pees on the bed! Trying to keep litter trays as clean as possible, letting him outside when the house is empty.

Hi, it's not new behaviour, was hoped it would stop after neutering, nothing has changed in household and yes it's just the beds!

Accepted Answer

ok,

 

What you are dealing with as I am sure you know is a behaver issue.

 

I would recommand speaking with your vet before rehoming as this will just give the problem to another owner and could lead to him being euthanized. There is a drug that has proved very successful with our patients it is called amatriptaline. Also have them clean the litter box often some cats will not go in a dirty litter box. You can also crate him in a large dog crate with his own litter box for a few weeks forcing him to use his litter box,then leaving the box in the cage and allowing him to run free again.This is often very helpful
