  0 0 You know what, man? Your cat is worth it. He's only going forth with what he's learned. Animals are not complex.. their "weird" actions make perfect sense to them. To your cat, peeing on the bed is so obviously normal, he has no idea why you would want him to stop. Some animals catch on fast, some don't. God help the ones that don't. Are you giving a home to the perfect cat? Sounds like not. Are you willing to look at this cat's ideas and go with them? Try him! I just lost a dog I lived with for 13 years. I'm as devastated as it gets. Are you committed to this cat? If you are, then put up with his shit! If not.. let him go now. :( Animals can learn to live with us if they are given enough time. I don't think people give animals enough leeway. They won't be 100% what we want. They are animals. I had a lot of years with my dog, and he did what I asked him. I wish I could have done anything different that would have made him live longer.. I cry EVERY DAY. Dude. You have this cat and are dealing with him daily. Do it for the right reasons. If you can't find a balance between what you need and what he needs, find him another home. I'll take him if there's no one else. PDXwahine commented about 1 year ago

  How do I make my kitten stop peeing on my bed?

  0 0 Cats are wonderful animals, and I've shared my life with many an amazing one, but they're not really capable of much thought. If yours is peeing on your bed every so often, it's for one of three reasons: 1. He has a UTI and suddenly had to go (which you ruled out) 2. The litterbox isn't clean enough for his standards 3. The bed smells like you and he decided it should smell like him You can try working on #2 -- some cats really do have standards that require daily cleaning. And everyone says they do it, but no one really does. so, you can try starting there.. it could make the difference. If it's #3, you can't really convince him not to pee on your bed, unfortunately. That is, you can TRY, but it'll be REALLY tough. To do so, you have to be on the scene EVERY SINGLE TIME he STARTS to pee. You hiss or make some other freaky noise, sweep him off the bed in a fast but non-injuring way, and basically scare the crap out of him as soon as he thinks about it. After enough times of this, he'll think of doing it and then run away instead, in a conditioned response. If you miss his speed-of-thought one time out of 10, he won't stop. The true solution? Close the bedroom door. The cat is only allowed on the bed when you're there monitoring him. If he decides to continue, you decide whether you can live with keeping him out of the bedroom permanently or washing your bedding a lot. I wish I had better news. Some cats do grow out of this, and neutering him MAY help. Honestly though, man, they're cats. Where we think they should pee isn't something they think about. Ever. Good luck! P.S. Add baking soda to the wash. PDXwahine answered in Whatever about 1 year ago Answer, comment & read 5 more answers »

  0 0 Yeah.. I've been more positive in other places, asking this, but you're totally right.. re-reading what I wrote here, it's pretty clear that I'm not up for it. Guess I'll have to find another way of saying I Love You! :) PDXwahine commented over 2 years ago

  0 0 This is pretty much along my lines.. I like the idea of getting one at 60. I *am* interested in doing it, but... yeah, not passionate. It'd probably be more of a "look how much I love you" at 60. :) PDXwahine commented over 2 years ago
