Discourage Cat Unrination??

close the door.

Put a litter box where he is going in taht spare room. Keep the original one too.

Take him to the vet. They give him a shot and he will never pee in the house again.

You have two choices.

1. Get used to it.
2. Lose the cat.

Once a cat starts doing that, there is nothing you can do to stop it.

You can do nothing to keep him from "wanting" but you can keep in from "returning" by closing the door.

So why not close the door?

Put a plastic cover over the bed? Put a *brand-new* litterbox into that room? HTH

close the door and keep him out of that room altogether. Then you have to completely eliminate any residual odor from the room. An enzyme cleaner may eventually get rid of the smell but if you've tossed 2 sets of bed linens I would imagine the mattress is toast.

You may eventually be able to let him back in once a long period of time has passed which will break the habit and the odor is completely eliminated. Of course this is dependent on you're continuing to keep his litter box clean so he doesn't look for alternatives. W

My dog hates you for that. I had the volume kinda loud. (I thought it was pretty cool)

toss the mattress, close the door, litterbox retraining!

Closing the door is step 1. My cat was doing this on a stair landing (she's diabetic and has some control problems) and besides cleaning with the enzymatic cleaners mentioned here, I covered the landing with a ScatMat which delivers a low-voltage (9v) shock when stepped on. It doesn't hurt but sure kept her off of the steps.

In addition, some retraining might be in order. I carried her to the litter box after each meal and now she goes immediately after eating and pees right away.

You can find the Scat Mats on eBay.

OMG so did mine- I had to click following the thread. What is it?

Remember Doctor Von Zimmer from the movie, "Down and Out in Beverly Hills"? Dr. Von Zimmer was a pet psychiatrist (a psychiatrist just for pets). Actually, I think your best bet is to prevent the cat from going into the bedroom by keeping the door closed. Then you might try pet therapy/behavior modification of some kind. Good luck.

The cat is returning to the SCENT .. Close the door.. eliminate the scent it left. That will probably cost you a rug and anything else fabric that it hit. But if it smells to the cat like its "spot" it'll be back.. Consider a door closer..

Put the cat in the oven for 1 hour at 450. Season to taste...

Cut off her penis.

That's wrong, any cat will respond to costructive behaviour shaping. You just need to search the web to work it out, not too hard...

Not exactly. A cat doesn't return to to scent unless it knows there are others around, that are competitive. A cat, indoors without scenting by others (esp. female) will NOT perform this behaviour.

If it's an indoor cat, keep others away, using humane methods.

I suspect a "powerplay", though - and this is a popular cat-tactic, when they feel like they are powerless. Try some empowering of the cat without diminishing yours. There are many web-resources available for this.
