my husband's side of the bed, it's happened 3 or 4 times now, just since christmas. we've had both cats checked for UTI and they were both clear, i know it's a behavior problem and i'm pretty sure i know who it is. here's the deal, we have a yellow lab that just turned a year old, as with any lab puppy, he's got alot of energy and is very curious... well, the suspected cat, tigger, who is ocd, will not run from him, he stands his ground with not only the cat, but the kids as well, we've had the dog since last march, and the peeing has just started christmas day. only thing that really changed before this started was my dog got a new bed. i've got the feliway plug in, it seemed to help for a while, but last night the the dog was sniffing right up on the cat and the cat wasn't real pleased with it, i knew right away this behavior was coming, and lo and behold, my husband woke up to a wet bed this morning. the cat has also pee'd on the dog bed several times as well as the new area rug in the living room.
now i mentioned that he is ocd, we've come to this conclusion by process of elimination... when we got him, he came from a house that had cats/kittens EVERYWHERE. we took him to the vet, our cousin, and he had every parasite known, they had never seen so many ear mites in one place at the same time, anyway, we get rid of all his yuckies and take him in to be neutered... was told he had an undescended teste and we should wait to see if it drops on it's own, so we waited and it didnt drop, they had to shave his belly and surgically remove both of them. at this point he was our only pet. almost a year after we got him, i decided he needed another cat friend, he was not letting me sleep in the morning hours, so, we adopted our second cat from the humane society. well, it had been several months since the neutering and the adoption, but he never let the hair grow in on his belly, he, to this day and it's been several years now, keeps it licked off, we thought it was food allergies, tried changing his food, didn't help, put him on antidepressants, but it was so much work trying to get the pills down his throat. i'm sure that this pee'ing is out of spite of the dog, hubby is ready to take him to the humane society and part of me wants to get rid of him because i just can't take it, but then there's part that gets really sad when i think of not having him here...
any thoughts?
