Background: I got my cat Leo from a friend, and for the first few weeks having him he didn't pee anywhere, but he also lived in kitchen and bathroom as we let him adapt to my other cat and vice versa. They are best friends now btw.
Later on when he was allowed out 24/7, he started peeing on our bed. Took him to vet and they said he had struvite crystals so we are on an s/d diet. Peeing stopped, came back when I accidentally ran out for a few days, and stopped again when I got him more. THEN, he is now suddenly back to peeing on our bed, usually on me.
It started new years Eve and I figured maybe it's bc we let a friend stay the night that slept on the floor (we live in studio), but it's been five days and it's still happening. I also changed brand of clay litter so I'm going to go back to old one and see if that helps, but he also has a clay box and a breeze pellet one so I don't see why changing the clay would make him pee in our bed if he uses it during the day.
He doesn't have declawed paws, he gets lots of attention, he uses both boxes during the day so it's just at night, and one box is like 4 feet from the bed. Someone recommended a pheromone diffuser but idk if it's him being stressed or what. He is fixed as well.
I just need help bc we live in a studio with no washer or dryer and I am afraid I won't be able to keep him if the issue persists bc I can't afford the $10+ trip to laundromat each day as well as countless money spent on different cleaning and deterrent sprays
