Why is kitty peeing on the bed?

Factual Questions

Everyone else has given the good advice, so I’ll give the useful advice: Get a plastic sheet or a couple of plastic tablecloths and cover your bed when you aren’t in it (maybe with a towel so she doesn’t move somewhere else).

Wouldn’t it be easier to just keep the door to the room shut so the cat can’t get in there? It doesn’t sound like the cat has lived with the OP its whole life and with the expectation that (the OP’s) bedrooms are okay to be in. I have no cat+bed problems primarily because cats are not invited into bedrooms in this house.

I live in a studio…

No bedroom door.

I don’t have cat pee issues but I also have no bedroom door. The steps lead up and into the open bedroom.

There are a lot of times I wish there was a door though. I love my pets but there are times I wish I could escape from them in my own home. I am lucky to go to the bathroom with out company.

My cat is quite old (she’s between 17 and 19 in human years) and fairly spry - she can still leap distances, etc.

Her two resting places are on the lap/desk or the bed. I live in a studio, so these are pretty close together.

Lately, she’s taken to peeing on the bed, as well as using the litterbox. Obviously, I have a problem with this.

I’ve only caught her doing it once, and it was done in definite “squat” mode - she didn’t just leak while sleeping.

In the past couple of months I’ve been staying at my SO’s house quite a bit.

So, is kitty just getting old and confused? Am I not around enough to remind her to wake up and pee correctly? Or is she just giving me a big middle finger? The girl who currently has no clean bedding wants to know.

you could try a litter box in the bedroom and if catching her about to pee plonk her in the box there is a chance she might catch on
