So I just adopted my kitten, Cooper, about a month ago. I've noticed he's been peeing on his bed on/off - any suggestions or insight into why he's doing this?
Coop's room did belong to my previous cat, who was very sick before he died and did have bouts of diarrhea and wasn't cleaning himself too well. I'm sure some of the scent of my previous baby is in the room/bed and I was thinking that might be the reason or some of it? Coop uses the litterbox - I'm going to keep an eye on it but it looks like he only pees on the bed at night? Maybe he needs a nightlight or something at night to guide him to the box? No clue! I've been keeping his litter box extra clean, I clean it throughout the day just in case he's one of those super picky litterbox cats.
Another observation is he doesn't clean his butt - there's always poop on his butt. This might just be a kitten thing, my previous baby lived to be 12 so I haven't been around a kitten in a very long time. Other than that he's a happy, healthy kitty! He's going on 4 months now, eats and drinks great, has his vaccinations and is scheduled to be neutered on the 13th. Let me know what you guys think!
