Hi all, I wonder what are your thoughts on this behavioral issue.
Let me begin by my kitten(almost 4 months old, male) had been checked by vet i think 2-3 weeks ago, and came back cleaned, heart rate normal, breathing normal, temperature normal, even the doctor complimented that i got a well-tempered kitten that just lets people touch, overall healthy. So he's not peeing on our bed due to any medical concerns, it's pure behavioral.
I am not sure why he does this but there could be a couple of possible reasons:
So I wonder if anything like this ever happened to you guys? how did you handled it?
I'm being honest, the first time when he peed, we were unpleasant, and my bf even slapped our kitten's butt twice, but then I called my bf to stop, and now this the second time I got really mad and had to hold the back of the kitten's neck and pressed his head onto the peed spot on our bed for like 5 minutes, and our kitten struggled like hell, also we have decided to not serve his lunch today(usually 3 meals a day for him), I'm not sure if this will make him understand that pee on our bed will follow negative consequences, and I'm not sure that if he will stop or continue his behavior until we neuter him next January.
Please provide me any thoughts, suggestions, I don't mind any comments, I just wanna get this problem fix.

- we don't let him sleep with us at night, and I would try to clap my hands and yelling 'NO' to get him off the bed whenever I see him, so maybe he's insecure about our bedroom and esp. our bed, that he want to pee there to make sure he marks the territory.
- recently I mixed the litter with corn litter(from the world's best cat litter? i forgot the name, green package i believe it's popular that everyone have seen it) and the arms & hammers' ones, so maybe the kitten didn't like the mixture, and decided to pee on the bed.
