Hi all,
I have two indoor cats.They get regular time playing with us and each other and have always been indoor cats.we have a good relationship with both and they always come to sit with us. They have often got feliway spray too. They both seem happy and never try and go outside. However ever since Cookie was about 1 years old, he has had bouts of weeing on our bed and sometimes clothes or furnishings,carpet spots. This started around the time of moving to a new country(now two years ago). The vet can find no physical problems and it seems to happen both after a little stress or for no reason at all when he is quite happy . I'm starting to think he just enjoys weeing! I use products to try and eradicate the smell so he isn't tempted again. He has good weeks then starts again. Sometimes it can be a curtain or an area he isn't usually allowed ( closet or guest bed) but his favourite is our bed.he usually does it when alone but has done it in front of us. Once he weed on my pillow as I was sleeping!he has also weed on me recently when scared once and once when playing (when younger) .The vet mentioned maybe certain food being an irritant so may look into this or try a new product...we just steam cleaned the matress, used a new product and a thicker mattress protector/ take the duvet off the bed. Felliway seems to have no correlation. For the last two weeks no more wees...we have a small house so it would not be ideal to ban him from spaces...and new ideas welcome!he is now about 3 yearsold, is a rescue cat ,Turkish van and is playful and easy going by nature. However , has seemed to be more easily scared of things as he has gotten older ( more like the older rescue Bengal tabbie cat he has known since we got him at 2 months old) . The rescue place was surprised as no issues as very young kitten. I know he was castrated young at about two months the morning we collected him... Little accidents ever since with us then the issues above from about 1.. I'm hoping the new product does a better job of removing old smells he is detecting perhaps! The other female cat has no wee issues at all .they both eat well too and get access to an open window with looking perch and regular company etc, any other ideas welcome!
