Why is my pregnant cat peeing on the bed and floor? Is she sick?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
My husband and I took in a stray cat 5 weeks ago she has peed on our bed twice in the past 5 weeks but it's been two weeks since she's done it and tonight she did it a third time and also peed on the floor we just found out she is pregnant this past week and has been since we got her. Does the pregnancy have something to do with it? How do we stop it from happening?

That's very kind of you to take in this stray cat! This peeing on the bed can be a sign of a medical illness, such as a UTI or bladder stone. I would recommend taking your girl into your vet tomorrow for an exam. Your vet can do routine blood tests and a urinalysis to see if she does have a UTI or bladder stones. If she has a UTI, she will need antibiotics to treat it. Bladder stones may need to be removed surgically, or can be managed with diet.

If your vet has done a check and she doesn't have a medical issue, like a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, ect., then it is likely a behavioral issue. You could try a Feliway diffuser or Feliway spray and see if that helps. You could also talk to your vet about trying an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac or Trazodone. There is a chance she could urinate on the babies things, as well. It is hard to predict how she will react once the baby is born.

Hi there. The majority of inappropriate urination issues in cats are due to a medical condition such as FIC (feline idiopathic cystitis) or a UTI, so I would definitely make sure you get her in to see a vet as soon as you are able to. In the meantime, I would block her access to the bed that she is peeing on, and make sure that she has access to multiple large, clean litter boxes in convenient locations. If your veterinarian doesn't find evidence of a medical problem, then I would recommend getting in touch with a veterinary behaviorist who can help you evaluate your current home environment and litter box set-up to figure out what needs to be done.

This could be due to a medical illness such as a UTI or bladder stones. I would have your cat seen by a vet today or tomorrow for a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis. Using these tests, the vet can diagnose if he does have a UTI or bladder stones and can treat him for it.
