I had a female who would back up to a door and spray. We finally took that door out of our house and replaced it. She constantly had infections no matter what we did for her, which caused the spraying to begin. I also used some of the cleaners from Petsmart to neutralize the odor.

agree w/sadiemae...i had a prob w/one of my best behaved furries and took him to vet. turned out he had a bladder infection. she said when they have an infection, it hurts to urinate. so they don't use their box...it is like 'if i go in the box it hurts' so they go elsewhere...even though it still hurts for some reason they will keep it up...and not use thier box. my big guy never pooped...just wet...after antibiotics...have never had another problem. but you really should ck out at vets .... if not treated can cause permanent damage to kidneys etc. good luck.

My cats did the same thing, Tried everything and what worked is place a bowl of their hard food right on your bed where they pee. A cat will NEVER pee where they eat. Good luck.

UTI's and sometimes stuck hairballs will cause this. Also stress. Having 8 cats I can tell you there is one that gets stressed so I have a time out room that gives them a break from the other cats.

This is toooo funny!!

Try feeding the cats on the bed. They will not urinate where they eat. Set a little dry food in each corner of the bed and in the middle. I tried this after reading about it somewhere and it worked. I have 3 female cats. Be sure you wash all bedding and the mattress cover to remove the odor first.

I have 7 cats. If the male has not been neutered that might be it. If he has, it might be a UTI like suggested. Try misting a little vinegar on the area, that will run them off, they won't return to the same area.

Cats are masters at hiding illness. A check up with the vet might not be a bad idea. Keeping the beroom door closed at all times will be a big help.

I had to find new homes for my two as I didn't know which one was using the down comforter as a litter box. Vet visit was a okay. Have a friend with a warm barn where they live now. I hated to have to remove them, I love cats. I also found where one had sprayed the wall. I had tried the vinegar, orange peels, stuff that you pug in a warmer to calm them.

The only time we ever had this problem, We had just bought a new bed set. We notice a strange smell when we opened the package but thought it would go sway with time. The cats did not care for it. They kept on using it no matter what we did, finally gave it to our daughter to use as a dog house mat.

My daughter had a cat that urinated on the bed and she ended up having to throw away a mattress. The vet said it is usually from stress of which the cat had had before my daughter got her.
