How do I discipline my cat so she knows its BAD to pee on the bed?
Disciplining cats rarely works. You can’t make your cat understand what you want, you can only deal with this problem in her kitty world. Yelling and hitting is not going to work. We’ve got to think like a cat and figure out why she’s decided not to use the litter box. And as long as you are positive that she doesn’t have a bladder/kidney infection here are some things to try. First, try adding additional litter boxes. Some recommend 1 for each cat and then 1 extra. Next, there is a special litter called “Cat Attract”. It is available at PetSmart and at their online store. Here is some info about it: http://www.preciouscat.com/ They guarantee that it will work. I haven’t had to take them up on that guarantee. Here’s what worked for me (aside from keeping the door shut to my bedroom) One of my cats started urinating on the bed and on our living room couch. I took her to the vet and he checked her out and said that 95% of the cats
I had a cat doing that and realized it was the tension in my home with the person living there with me at the time. He was a drug addict so there were lots of fights when he went on binges. I got rid of him – and the cat never peed on the bed again. As you sound a bit tense I’m wondering if there’s some bad vibes in your home that have nothing to do with this cat. Cats are VERY sensitive to their owner’s moods and will react negatively at times if the tension makes them uncomfortable or they see the person that they love upset. I would also have the vet check the cat for a urinary tract infection. If it hurts to pee the cat will often associate the litter box with the pain and start peeing elsewhere.
