Cat in peeing on blankets

Post by AzOzGirl »

I'm new and am glad I found this site. I used to be a vet assistant years ago but cannot figure this one out. I have a cat (Kloud) who is just 1 year old and I'm not sure why she started peeing on my blankets on my bed, only the blankets, not the sheets. She started doign this about 2 months ago and at first it was onky on my bed, but now when my mom stays over, she pees on her blankets on the couch. But when mom leaves it is back to my bed. We have construction going on about 1/2 block away. She has not been spayed but I cannot tell if it is only when she is in heat or not. Yes we are working on getting her spayed. O do have 2 other cats Storm, 5 years old, and Rayne who is 7 years old. I have had Kloud she she was 8 weeks old, so I know it cannot be because she is new.
I'm tired of washing my blankets every day. HELP!
PS I forget, she still uses the litter box also, which we have 3 of them

First and foremost is getting her checked for a potential urinary tract infection....usually when cats urinate on the owner's bed, this is a direct way the kitty is trying to get your attention. Because she is not spayed yet, she could be more prone to UTI's at this point. Hormones may be playing a role as well during her heat cycles, but it is unlikely.....rule out urinary tract infection first and foremost.

Please do everything in your power to schedule her spay ASAP. As you know, for every heat cycle she endures, she is at higher risk for mammary cancer, uterine cancer, pyometra, etc.

If your vet determines her to be in excellent health, and once recovered from the spay, if she continues to urinate on the beds, then you will want to investigate possible changes in the environment, stress factors, etc. But until then...get her examined and spayed immediately.
