6 months without an accident on the bed

[natyb22]

Our cat has been using the toilet without the litter kwitter since about January 2009. Everything started out swell, but then for some reason he started going #2 on the bed if we weren't home. If we were home we would shoo him into the bathroom and he would go on the toilet no problem. I think he just wanted to bury his business and the bed enabled him to do that.

I was stumped on how to curb it. We ended up turning our bed into a murphy bed (kind of). If we were leaving and he hadn't gone #2 in awhile we would take the loose sheet and comforter off the bed and just push the mattress up against the wall. It probably seems a little excessive, but he started using the toilet exclusively. We did this for about 2 months, now we are leaving the bed down the way it should be and he's done great. He doesn't even think about going on the bed! If anyone else is having a problem with their cat using the bed as a bathroom give it a whirl!
