Why is my cat peeing and pooping on my bed after a cat visit?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Chartreux | Male | neutered | 4 years and 8 months old

My cousin had his new cat over yesterday for a couple minutes (he did not mark inside the house). When I woke up today my cat peed and pooped on the comforter that i was sleeping under. I'm going to the store to buy an odor removal, but is it possible that my cat will continue to do this?

It is hard to say. It is likely that this is behavior caused by the stress of the new cat coming over. Make sure you clean the comforter well with the odor remover. Enzymatic cleaners, like Nature's Miracle are best. Also consider looking into a product called Feliway that may help calm Shadow and prevent this behavior from continuing.
