Hi there,
I adopted Simba, a 3-year old male Bengal 2 months ago. He was found outdoors, wandering. I thought things were going really well, although he seems a bit bored, and maybe lonely, being indoors all the time. My husband and I are not around during the day.
So here's the shocking problem: in the middle of the night, while I lay soundly sleeping, he got up on the bed, and peed on my face! It was not a spray, but a full-on pee.
We play with him a lot, give him lots of love when he's in the mood. The only thing I can think of is that he was mad at me because I scooped him up and took him inside when he tried to bolt while on a lead. [We've been introducing him to the idea of going outside while on a lead.]
This morning he returned to his litter box, and peed normally. He did have a full vet examination 1.5 months ago.
Any ideas? And another question--does someone have a recommendation on getting another cat as a companion?
Thanks!
