Another pee problem

I just got a new kitten from my niece. He is four months old and he went peepee in my bed two nights in a row! He is extremely well behaved otherwise. Is he marking territory? I was thinking of crating him at night. Any suggestions? Alisa

Well, the first thing I would do is have him checked for a urinary tract infection. Although he is young, males are more prone to getting them. Cats usually don't pee to mark territory. They will spray on something vertical. He is also a bit young to be doing this. If all checks out at the vet, if the house is a good size, I would add another litter box closer to the bedroom. Wee ones tend to forget where the litter box is once they curl up and get cozy. If you are going to confine him, I would do it in just one room(maybe where the litter will be) and keep his food and water in there for a week. Don't let him roam the house, he will get confused. Essentially you would be re training him.

Well, I figured out the problem!! He didn't like the litter I was using. I changed it and Rikki is a GooD boy!!

Good job finding such an easy solution to an irritating problem!
