Hi everyone,
We have a male cat who’s been living with us for 2.5 years. He recently started peeing in our toddler’s room. He peed in his cot twice, each time during the night or early in the morning as our son was sleeping with us. Our son is not using his cot anymore, so after the cat peed in it for the second time, we removed the cot and replaced it with another bed with new bedsheets. Our son loved his new bed and slept in it last night. He came to our room early in the morning and left the door in his room open. After a while our male cat also came to our bed as he always does in the mornings. When we got up, we realised that the cat peed on our son’s new bed before coming to our room.
We are very annoyed and we don’t know why he does this. He never ‘marks’ any new furniture. He loves our son. His litterbox was clean. He looks happy and healthy, and comes to me for a cuddle every morning and every night, and sits next to me for hours. He hasn’t had any recent changes in his life. So why did he start peeing?
This behaviour makes our life really hard. What could be the reason for it and how can we stop it?
Also, is there a way to completely remove the pee smell from that room? I’m afraid the cat now thinks it’s a toilet and will keep doing it because of the residual scent.
Please help, I don’t know what to do.
