Our 1 year old male cat does something that worries me.
Right before we had him neutered (2 months ago) he was sitting on my bed with me, started pawing around in the blankets, and then let loose and peed a full load.
We got him fixed a week later (we had procrastinated). He hasn't done it again, because I flipped the mattress to eliminate the "friendly odor marker".
BUT NOW he is obsessed with pawing my bed. Not scratching with nails, just pawing frantically like he's digging a hole. He does it just on the bare sheet, not the blanket. It's like a game for him, and he's playful when he does it, but it reminds me of what he did before he peed. So I'm nervous when he does this!
Is it likely he's going to pee again? Maybe we nipped it in time by getting him neutered? Is this just a common behavior of playful digging (he's an indoor cat only) that he would otherwise do outside? What the heck is going on?
I hate to be paranoid and freak out when I see him pawing frantically, but I'm worried he'll pee all over my bed again.
He has never had any other "accidents" either intentional or not, and he has never sprayed.
What do you think he's doing? Oh, and his favorite game is to make the bed with me. He LOVES it. He also loves to burrow in my comforter and happily hide under there for awhile.
If he pees on THIS side of the mattress then I'm gonna be really ticked.
Thank you in advance...I'm new here and found this forum JUST to ask this question, but couldn't find it addressed when I did a thread search.
