Does anyone have any suggestions for a litter that could absorb the pee faster? I’m having a problem with my 4 month old male kitten. I don’t exactly know how it happens, but he sometimes has a wet bum coming out of the litter box. He then comes right to me in bed and leaves stains on bed sheets. He also realizes this and starts sniffing and pawing on the sheet and duvet cover as if he is digging around the urine spot or trying to cover it. It freaks me out when he does this because I am afraid he might think my bed is a good place to pee.
I was using Naturally Fresh walnut based litter before, which had a lot of fines that would stick to his bum and made the stains gooey dark brown resembling poop. I’ve changed the litter to World’s Best Cat Litter. It doesn’t stick nearly as much, but the wet spot issue has not changed. It just went from dark poop-like wet stains to yellow-ish wet stains.
I now have a towel by my bed and every morning he jumps on my bed I make him sit on the towel first or I just wipe him. But I can’t catch him every time. I don’t think it happens every time he pees. Maybe when he has a full bladder. I was thinking to switch to a conventional clay based litter. Do those work better for cats who pee very close to the litter? I think my cat squats very close to the litter when he urinates ad he doesn’t seem to dig a hole first.
