Lucky is peeing on my bed! Help!

[cekoehler]

I took my sister's cat Lucky (female age 15) into my home about a year ago. I have two other cats, Tiger (male)who is 14 years old and Taffy (female) who is 4. Tiger and Taffy don't get along with Lucky, so I put Lucky in a room to seperate them. She was the only cat at my sister's house. I have tried on several occations to include her into the family, but each time a fight happens usually between Lucky and Taffy. This last time I moved Lucky into my room. We put up a baby gate to keep Taffy out, but she has managed to jump the gate. Now Lucky is peeing on my bed. I think she is afraid of the other cats and that is why she pees on my bed. Is there anything I can do to change their behavior? If not, I may have to find Lucky a new home. Any suggestions anyone may have will be greatly appreciated. I love all my cats and I want them all to be happy.

Hi and welcome to Pet Talk!

The cats international site - http://www.catsinternational.org/ - has the best articles I've ever seen about behavioral problems.

You might want to check the article on "Spraying problems can be solved!" which includes inappropriate urinating.

If you think it's due to tension between the cats, take note of their comments about Feliway. A lot of members in this forum have tried it to reduce tension and they say it works!

Also, I hope your vet has ruled out any medical problems. If not, a checkup is in order.

My RB kitty also urinated on the bed after we moved. She did get over it, though.


Good luck to you.
