My FIL's cat Smokey keeps peeing on his bed, any advice??

I think it sounds like it could be a medical problem maybe you could put a cat litter tray in you FILs room that may help

He has passed the cat off and the cat is simply letting him know this simple solution figure out what is upsetting the cat and change it back to before if nit there are many pharamone sprays you can get to help calm the cat down so he doesn't get so upset

Since it is a sudden event, it could be that Smokey has a urinary tract infection. There isn't outright symptoms that you can observe except that the cat will urinate in unusual places. If Smokey is straining to pee, peeing in even more unusual spots, and is squatting often to pee then it is very likely a UTI. It wouldn't hurt to have the vet check him out. It could be separation anxiety. If Smokey is used to your FIL being around and he isn't, it is upsetting to the cat. I am sure that you FIL is tired when he gets home, but he needs to give Smokey extra attention and love. Does your FIL treat the spot with odor neutralizer? It is definitely an necessity to treat the spot on the bed and the bed clothes with an odor neutralizer. When the sheets and blankets are washed, use vinegar (about a cup to a cup and a half) in the rinse to remove the odor of the urine. On the mattress use "Nature's Miracle". It works really really well to eliminate the odor. Also, when your FIL goes to work he will need to close the bedroom door so that the cat can't have access to the bed. Or, cover the bed with clean garbage sacks or a plastic drop cloth. I remember that Dingelebeary (my Maine Koon cat) was peeing on my bed and it turned out to be a UTI! I got the urinary tract infection treated and it stopped his peeing on the bed. I would really recommend that Smokey has a check up by the vet.

I'd have a hell of a lot of trouble loving a cat that peed on anyone's bed! He'd just do that once and he'd be out on his behind! Its very possible that he doing it to get attention. But this wouldn't save him if he lived in my house!

Generally speaking, cats will urinate in unwanted places because they are trying to get someone's attention. usually, it's because they are sick or in pain. As the others in this discussion have stated as well, my first guess would be a urinary tract infection, or perhaps crystals or other blockage. Your FIL really needs to take the cat to the vet to make sure he isn't in physical distress. If it turns out that the cat is healthy, then it may be a sign that the cat needs more attention. If he can't provide the attention that Smokey needs, perhaps the solution would be to get a second cat! Our beautiful maine (c)oon, Simba, was desperate for attention when he was left alone, and he would do all sorts of destructive stuff when we were at work. We got him a playmate and he settled down and we had very few problems after that.

First thing, I'd take the cat to the vet to rule out a urinary infection or some other illness. If he checks out okay at the vet it might be separation anxiety. Smokey could be stressing about being left alone so much. Maybe he can out the cat in the bathroom and out the litter pan in there when he works. The cat is either sick or stressed. He isn't being a bad cat. Hope your FIL will do what is best for the cat. I think devouring him to an area will be better than getting rid if him.
