I have posted this before as a reply in someone else's thread... I need help really bad, I'm close to giving my kitty away if this doesn't stop, so PLEASE anybody? Here is my old post:
Hello everyone!
I'm brand spanking new to this forum. My 2 year old cat Maya has developed the bad habit of peeing ON MY BED! Now I know she's trying to tell me something by this but I can't figure out what it is! I've been giving her all sorts of attention and love but that doesn't seem to fix it. The litter and the litter box location haven't changed for 1 year and I didn't add any new family members (people or pets) to my household. I now have a plastic shower curtain over my bed when I'm gone but that can't be a permanent solution!
Please, if ANYBODY can help... I don't want to have to give her away!
Thank you,
Nina

PS. This seems to happen every 2 weeks and actually I just found my bed soiled AGAIN! Fortunately the shower curtain kept it from getting to anything important but I just can't let the cat be smarter than me ;) She is in her "bathroom" right now... does anyone think this is a health issue?

Many times this IS health related. She should be checked by a vet.

Is she spayed?

O.k. I'll go first thing tomorrow... and just be sure I'll take both of them in so I can be sure. They are both spayed... oh and it just happened again 5 min ago when I was paying more attention to a friend who was over. I'm throwing away the comforter now and soaked my mattress in "No go" and "Nature's miracle Just for cats".
Thank you very much guys!

We have had similar instances with Beige,my son's cat. Whenever Jesse would spend too much time away from her she'd either poop or pee or get sick in his bed. We figured it out: Beige adopted my son as her "human" and he was her security blanket/best friend etc. Some cats react like that only because its their way of reaching out to tell us something has upset them. Without going into a long story, my son just turned 24 years old and has had Beige since he was 5...that makes Beige approx. 20 years old now. He has moved into an apartment with his girlfriend and they've been there for approx. two years now and Beige lives for my son,tuna and naps! Jesse,beiing the cat-lover he always has been makes sure that time is set aside everyday for Beige and giving/receiving attention/so forth. Not to come off as a know-it-all or judgemental or anything but to me our pets are the same as bringing a child into the world; we are responsible for them and that includes looking into/learning what makes them who they are and why. Good luck with your cat and thanks for reading this.http://www.catcaresociety.org/

Please do have her checked by a vet too they can get uranary tracted infections that cause this. My Ebony did the same thing I changed her to a urinary formula food and viola no more peeing on my bed. She was leaking and now is not.
