Our 6-month-old kitten (boy, neutered) suddenly started urinating on our beds about a week ago and since then he's done it almost every single day, twice on Sunday. He also did it right in front of us. Now we close all the bedroom doors, although they (he has a sister who is the same age) always slept with us. We haven't caught his sister in action yet but she was about to, or we thought, urinate on the same spot, so we lifted her to their litter box in time.
I took him to the vet yesterday and we are going to see the result of urinalysis. The vet said the weather (nonstop rain) affects cats but I think he's assuming that our cats go outside. He also said that anxious / stressed cats often do this, but our boy is faaaar from stressed out. He's got huge appetite, drinks water, and full of energy otherwise.
I was wondering this urinary problem might be attributable to raw food I make.
I use Cat Nutrition's as a base and substitute Morton Lite Salt with regular iodized salt and potassium citate capsules prescribed by Dr. Pearson. Regular iodized (sea)salt that I'm using is pure and contains approx. 2,300mg of sodium in 6 grams of salt (twice the amount of Morton Lite Salt). I just ordered Morton Lite Salt from the US. We live in Australia now.
Also we have noticed that their stool got really soft after about 1-2 weeks on raw food). They've been on raw food for about a month now. Has anyone gone through the same path before?
