:eek:
Hi my Bengal kitten (who is 11 months old now) was using the toilet happily until just before NYE.
All of a sudden she peed on my bed - having always slept with me since she arrived.
The only things I could think of were that she was missing my son - he lives with me week on/off. He had been with us for 1 whole week (holiday time) so maybe she was pinning for him?
The other thing was I had just bought a crinkly satin-like bed spread and this is what she peed on - the funny thing was that just before, she had come up to me whilst I was playing on the Wii, and kept patting my arm with her paw. I just petted her but didn't check to see what she was telling me... then 10 mins later found the bed wet.
The toilet wasn't dirty.
I washed all the bedding having soaked it in special stuff to get rid of the smell but 2 days later I woke up and she had suddenly peed on me whilst I was sleeping - so had to buy a new duvet and now she is not allowed in my bedroom.
Action taken: I shut all the doors to bedrooms/living room - allowing her limited places to go until her habits resolved themselves - so as soon as she peed I would let her back into the living room.
For a few days it was like she had forgotten where to pee and I even caught her trying to pee on a bag of clothes - I picked her up mid stream and took her to the loo and shut her in. I went back 30 mins later and she had gone so let her out (and into living room as a reward).
I brought back the white seat which I think she is much happier with it and she has been good as gold since. I still treat her when she has done which she really enjoys and if I am home she announces very loudly that she is going/has gone!
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on and can I ever trust her in my bedroom again?
