Cat defecates and urinates on bed

There are many reasons why cats defecate and urinate randomly, including urological diseases such as spontaneous bladder inflammation and urinary stones, sexual maturity, dislike of cat litter or litter boxes that are too small or incorrectly placed, and new environments or new people and pets in the household. To avoid these situations, it is best to make adjustments based on the causes.

Causes of random defecation and urination

Possible reasons for cats to defecate and urinate randomly include:

• Small cat litter boxes that are not cleaned in time
• Dislike of the type of cat litter
• Sexual maturity behavior, where cats spread their mating pheromones by defecating and urinating randomly
• Environmental stress, such as the addition of new people or pets in the household
• Territorial behavior, common in households with two cats
• Disease factors, such as urinary tract infections or diarrhea

Education for random defecation and urination

It is not recommended to hit the cat in this situation, but rather to scold it harshly. Cats are very self-centered animals, and hitting may cause the cat to hold a grudge, exacerbating the random defecation and urination behavior. Moreover, during the hitting process, if the owner does not control the force, it is likely to cause muscle or bone damage.

How to solve random defecation and urination

If the cat's urination on the bed is a behavioral issue, consider separating the cat's living environment from that of humans. If the problem is caused by a disease, take the cat to a pet hospital to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. Additionally, owners should frequently change cat litter and scoop cat feces to avoid long periods without changing the litter, which may lead the cat to find new places to defecate if it perceive the litter as unclean.
