not spayed/neuterd

1 boy/ 1 girl

they have gone 10 + times on my blanket and thats the only place they go other than the litter box......i keep the litter box clean......can someone tell me why they are doing this.

Answer 1

The blanket has a urine scent that is atracting the cats to continue to pee on your blankets. Either get new blankets or get the cat urine smell out. wash a few times  use vinager the first wash and hang out side on a line. Do not use a squirt bottle to punish cats. cats do not need to be punished they need to be trained. Try and not let them have access to your bedding..Its not due to being not fixed at this age..

Answer 2

1) Keep them off the bed

2) wash EVERYTHING a few times to remove the scent.

Scent is their way of knowing that this is where they go.  Try to capture some p**p and pee and put it in a fresh litter pan and let the litter get a bit "full" to reinforce their place to pee and p**p.  When cleaning the litter box, just empty it and don't clean it then refill with fresh litter for a few times until they get the hint.  You want to keep the scent in the box.

If you catch them squatting elsewhere, move them immediately to the box.

Answer 3

They have been allowed to do so.  You need to take them and set them in the litter box SEVERAL times a day, so they get used to it.  The second you think they are gonna pee on your blanket, run to thel itter box!

Answer 4

This is going to sound REALLY extreme, but I had to do this to get my cat to stop doing its business everywhere. I had to put my cat into the room where its litter box is located, and closed the door. I put food in there and water. I left him there for about an hour and he still hadn't done his business. So all I had to do was point at the litter box, and he did his stuff. Now he always goes in his litter box.  

Answer 5

Another thing nobody has mentioned here is the separation anxiety issue that our pets face every day. It may seem odd and impossible but cats tend to do this when they are separated from their owners for a certain period of time.  My cat grabs my bra from the laundry room, puts it in the bed and sleeps wrapped in it. He hasn't peed on it but I wouldn't doubt it.  After having checked that their box is cleaned, they like the litter, the box is placed where they like it, the box maybe needs to be without the top, maybe you need 2 litter boxes etc, I would look into that anxiety issue, which seems to be the case. Here is a link that I hope will help you. Please take a look at it because maybe your are facing this issue and you need to know how to address it.

I agree with Jeffrey...you definitely wanna keep your box clean...but not TOO clean...cuz they look for the smell to know where to go. Give that a try...and also every time you see em pee on the bed, put em in the box...after they eat or drink watch where they go, cuz chances are they are fixing to go p**p or something, and when they get in position, stop em, and take em to the box. And you may have to leave em outside when you're not home...Hopefully not though!

God Bless!!

Answer 7

The cats think they are supposed to pee on the blanket because it has their sent on it. You'll have to keep that blanket away from them and wash it a few times, you may even have to invest in an enzyme cleaner to remove the uric acid that is in urine and causes the bad smell. It all comes down to that they either think they should use your blanket for their bathroom needs, or they have bladder problems & need to be fixed that need to be addressed with a vet.

Answer 8

remove the blankets so they cannot pee on them anymore, get the to the vet for a checkup (possible urinary issues -this is mainly the reason cats eliminate in inappropriate areas), get them both spayed & neutered (whole cats tend to spray and mark territory)..

by the way, you should really consider getting them fixed soon unless you want them to start mating and end up with a litter of kittens on your hands

Answer 9

is the blanket on your bed? if so, put  trash can liners on top of it through the day, they probably won't pee on that as they prefer something soft, and they won't like the noise it makes! also, put them in the litter tray as soon as they wake up from a nap, and when they 'perform' (usually quite quickly when they first wake up) give them a small treat and lots of praise. i hope this works for you!

Answer 10

Have the checked for diabetes.  I know from personal experience that diabetes can cause a cat to do that.

Answer 11

1. They are not spayed neutered.

2. You didn't properly train them how or punish them for peeing on the blanket. Get a squirt bottle.

Answer 12

My cat used to do that until we figured out that she was scared to jump off so she would go there in the middle of the night bc she thought she couldnt get down. If this is the case, gently push them off the bed so they see that falling that far won't hurt them.

Answer 13

They're probably doing that out of habit now.  What I'd do is put them in a room with all of their things... beds, litterbox, food, water, toys, and you sometimes too.  they need to re-learn that the litterbox is the only place they go to the bathroom.  Keep the litterbox as clean as you can (daily scooping, weekly washing the box completely).  Wash your blanket with an enzymatic cleaner that's meant for cleaning cat urine.  Do NOT use bleach as it has the same compounds as urine, and will attract the cats to come back.  

Your best bet is to deny them access to where they were peeing before.  

Also it'll help to keep your bed made... a rumpled blanket makes a nice target for digging in for a cat to use as a bathroom!!  

You could also put sevearl small food bowls with food in them where your cats usually pee on the blanket on the bed.  Cats hate to pee where their food is, so this might help discourage them.

Getting them spayed or neutered will ensure that the pee problems aren't hormone related also.
