Hello all!
I'm new to the forum and after looking at several different web sites over the past couple of days, I thought I'd join a forum and consult with other cat parents. My little guy (Jax, two and a half years old) likes to pee on my bed when my fiance and I have been away from the house longer than he is used to or if we are scrambling around and don't pay him enough attention. For example, we were away most of the past long holiday weekend, not out of town but just out a lot and when we returned home Monday evening from a picnic, I went into the bedroom to change and sure enough, Jax jumps up on the bed and does his business right in front of me, almost as if to say "that's what you get". This is probably the fourth time he's ever done this. One time, it was after we had out of town guests sleep in our bed. We've been told not to yell or scold him so this time, I shoed him off the bed and pulled off the linens before the urine hit the mattress pad.
So, my question is two fold.....has anyone had success with Feliway? If so, is it damaging to furniture/bedding, etc. And, do you think my little buddy wants a friend to keep him company when we're not around? We bring him over to my parent's house a lot and they have a cat and Jax seems to enjoy chasing him around or just sitting near him, so we know he is good natured with other cats but don't know how he would react if we brought another one into "his" house. Help!!!
