Bad Toilet Behaviour

by Paul B
(UK)

Hi,

I wonder if you can help.... as I am getting desperate!!

I have a 1 1/2 year old bengal house cat... He is litter trained and very sociable and loving but he has a very bad habbit...

The problem is... he keeps pooing on our bed and our spare bed!!

I have no idea why he does it... it generally happens about once a month... As there is no pattern we are at a loss of what to do... The only other point worth mentioning is that he does have a delicate stomache... he oftens passes blood when pooing... we have taken him to the vet but have been told he is fine...

If you can help id be very greatful

Cheers

Paul

It is very difficult for me to say exactly why he is doing this as there could be many causes. All i can say is that this sort of behavior is called middening and is assocaited with the cat feeling unsettled in the home (that is as long as it is not assocaited with a upset tummy). All i can suggest is that you read my page about middening under the cat uriantion heading. As it will help to give you some ideas as to way this sort of behavior happens.
