Hello all,
we have this ~3 year old male russian blue (neutered) who is an indoor/outdoor cat that loves to go outside during the day. When we leave the house for extended periods of time (>1 day), we'll come home to him having peed (not sprayed) on his primary owners' clothes. I also experienced this aberrant behavior - while catsitting him for a weekend - when he tried to wake me up in the morning to let him outside, and when i didn't wake up he peed on my clothes, chair, and backpack. I've read in the forums that peeing on clothes that smell like you occurs when the animal is stressed (i should mention he does use his litter box to defecate, but when we returned from a vacation this weekend he had only defecated in the litterbox and had only urinated on clothing). We try to get neighbors to let him out in the mornings while we're away, but occassionaly it's difficult to do so. He also has a clean bill of health as per our most recent vet appointment (1 month ago) - and this behavior has been going on for at least a year or two.
I was wondering if any of you had advice you could give regarding this behavior. As he only urinates on clothing when we are not around, it wouldn't be possible to catch him in the act. Any tips would be extremely appreciated.
Warm regards
