    Eep!

    Our two year old male cat has started urinating in inappropriate places in our home. I have no idea what is going on with him. A couple of months ago, he urinated on our futon, and this evening, I caught him in the act, on the bed, while I was on the bed. He is usually a very laid back, well adjusted, happy go lucky cat, so I am very worried about what is going on. There wasn't any blood in the urine, and it was a large amount, so I don't think it is a UTI. I am worried because this isn't like him, and also because I don't want to have to continue to replace our bedding. Any thoughts/solutions?

    Phew.....I feel for you Meaux!

    I remember on another site I was a member on there was a huge discussion about this same topic. Lots of suggestions as to why all of a sudden a cat would start doing that, I was surprised to say the least!

    I Googled and found this site which might give you some insight for your situation, hope it helps.

    Makes sense, my husband rearranged the living room. Maybe that's what it is? I would think he would've gone on something in the living room, but cats can be unpredictable. I can't remember what had happened when he did it the time before this. I just need him to stop. I really don't want to have to wrestle him into a diaper. LOL

    Does it have an odor? Odorless (or really light odor) random or uncontrolled peeing can be a sign of kidney failure in cats. I would say a vet visit is in order.

    No, I smelled it before, I think he may have urinated there earlier today (the comforter was SOAKED with it). He's due for his annual vet visit in the next month or so, this will definitely be brought up. I just hate feeling like I don't know what's going on with my little guy. Flur, it's hilarious, my cat looks just like yours. Except with a much less serious look on his face. (Vlad is the little jester in our house.)

    Hehe, Storm doesn't always look like that - just when he's trying to look astute for pictures! I have a few of them where he's making that serious face, as if to say, "No, I wouldn't be caught dead rolling on my back on the floor pawing into the air at nothing and meowing like it's attacking me!"
