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.
