My Dear Old Princess The Bed Messer!

[katladyd]

Gary, there is no doubt you would do that for your Princess! Your love for cats is very obvious and true. I hope there is a grand reward for you in Heaven for all you do for animals.

Gary, that sounds like you are doing just what Princess needs for you to do. Having her checked out by the vet is an excellent idea.

My Senior girl Peony sometimes leaks on the couch... even though I have a litter box on the floor right next to the couch with a little stairway from the couch to the box, and another one ON the couch in case she doesn't feel like going downstairs. Then there's a cat bed for her in the middle of the couch and then there's the spot where I sit next to the lamp. Sometimes she just pees on the cat bed if she doesn't feel like stepping into the couch litterbox.

I put plastic sheets of one kind or another on the couch.. shower curtain liners from the dollar store are my favorites.. and towels on top of those. Much easier to toss the towels in the laundry and wipe any leakage off the plastic covers than to try and get out pee spots in the couch cushions.

I have been dealing with this issue with 21 year old Tabby for over a year now. She will pee only on the bed, but NOT when I am in it. I have taken her to the vet for tests, and she is fine. The vet believes it is "simply" a behavioral issue. So what do I do?

I have a waterproof mattress pad on my bed (in case there is an accident) and when I get up in the morning, I make my bed and put a plastic cover on the bed and lay a puppy training pad on top of that. Would you believe she will go only on that pad???? I found that I can buy them for $4.00 (for a package of 14) at my local Dollar General.

It is a suggestion for you. I hope it helps.

I will try those puppy pads as I have seen them at the Dollerama ,and they might well do the trick

I am having My Vet take her in for a Senior Evaluation and I mill mention this odd behavoir.

I think its behavioral as well.

She pooed all over a pillow while I was shaving , but she tends to pee on the old blankets I have in rotation.

But she is My Princess and I LOVE HER , she gets a lot of leeway here.

For all the years of love she has given you, of course she should get a lot of leeway! You are spot on right there! Don't you hope people do the same for us in our golden years? (not that far away, come to think of it).

I hope someone gives ME a lot of leeway in my later years. I hope Princess gets a good senior bill of health at the doctor.
