My 9-week-old kitten pees on my bed. Is he spraying or untrained?

Question

I have a 9 week old male kitten hasn't been neutered yet but seems to pee on my bed and blankets I dont know if it's the fact he cant make it to the potty or if he is starting to spray he seems to squat before peeing and the litter box is like 1ft away. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 months and 9 days old | 10 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Axel. He has not gone through puberty being only 9 weeks of age. Therefore, this issue is likely related to not being fully potty trained yet as opposed to marking behavior. You can add another litterbox and make sure it has a very low lip to make it easy for the kitten to get in and out. You can try another litter substrate to see if he has a preference. Finally, wash your bedding and do not allow him access to it. I hope this information helps!
