Help!
My cats are both litter-box trained, of course, never missed it, never had any problems at all...till this morning!
My husband brought out son's carseat in from his car and put in on the floor in the dining room. It has a padded cover thing on it because the seat is vinyl and gets hot. Both cats (of course) had to explore it. Kipper got in it and sat there, like she wanted to go for a ride. Then she got out and Sammy (who is about to turn 1) got in. He sniffed around in it for a minute, then turned and squatted and peed right in it.
I couldn't believe it. He has never done anything like this. Is this normal? Why would he do this? Did it somehow smell like the litterbox, or maybe smelled like a good place to go?
It didn't smell like pee from my son, I know HE never peed in it! And of course it soaked through and got a little on the carpet, so now I am afraid he will think it's okay to go there where the pee-smell is. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
