I know it's not unusual for cats to pee on their owner's bed, etc. My mom's cat actually had the same problem & she fixed it without too much hassle. But nothing I find online seems to suit my specific issue ...
I have a male cat who I've had since I found him as a stray kitten (he's probably around 7 or 8 months now). He has efficiently used his litterbox since he was a baby. About a month ago he started randomly peeing on things in our house, but this past week we noticed it's almost always MY clothes (as opposed to my husband's). The only other things he has peed on are a couple bathrugs.
I am curious if this is a dominance thing? My husband has always been big on disciplining the cat & therefore the cat respects him a lot more than me. Is he trying to hold more territory around here than me? That's what it looks like, but either way, I need to find out how to fix the problem! My husband has no tolerance for this sort of thing & has threatened many times to get rid of him if he continues this - Which would just kill me, he's like my child haha.
About a week ago we started keeping the bathroom & bedroom doors shut, not letting him in. He has been fine since, never pees on furniture or rugs in other parts of the house. But when I accidentally left the bathroom open today, he peed on a towel in there. It's like he's just trying to be rebellious!
Help?!
