My cat pees on the bed. Is it medical or behavioral? No vet now.

Question

My cat keeps peeing the bed. Not sure if behavioral or medical. Can’t go to the vet currently. What do I do?

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.
