Hi I need help with my 7 year old Birman. She has peed on our bed twice in the past six months. The first time was after we let our baby sleep in our bed (about 6 months ago). The next morning she came in and peed on the bed right in front of me.
She did it again this morning. This time the dog was sleeping in our room because she has been very sick and my husband left the door open. We have been keeping the cats (we have 4) out of our bedroom lately because of the peeing incident. So this morning in walks Kashi and jumps up and pees on the bed right in front of me.
Someone said that she might have a urinary tract infection. But, I think it is more of a jealousy behavioral thing because it has always occurred when I have had the baby or one of the other animals in our room.
Of the four cats she is what I would consider "my" cat. She wants my attention the most. And it seems like there is always a competition between her and the dog to get my attention. Of all the animals, she was one of the first and she has watched two cats, a dog and a baby join our household in the last 5 years. I think having the baby may have been the last straw for her, because obviously he demands almost all of my attention.
Anyway, any information, suggestions etc that you all have would be most appreciated.
