My cat pees while sleeping. What's wrong and how can I stop it?

Question

Hi there. My 6 year old female cat has began to urinate while she is sleeping. When she is awake she uses her litter box no problem. From my research so far, I have read that it is because she is releasing her muscles when she is sleeping. This is something I need to fix ASAP as she is urinating on beds,couches, chairs etc and I’m constantly trying to mask the smell! Apart from seeing a vet, what are some options to help her stop urinating while sleeping (they are large wet patches)? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 years and 6 months old

Unfortunately, if there is a medical condition / infection, there is nothing you can do over the counter. You will have to have Nookie seen by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. I would confine her to a bathroom or a small room for the time being until you can get her seen by a veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
