Question
hi, i recently received a new dooner cover i washed it placed it on the bed. That same night my 1.5 year old cat urinated on it. So we washed it and put it back on. She did it again.So we washed it again and again. We finally thought that she didn't like the dooner cover so we took it off.It didn't work. she just urinated on the dooner instead. she has never done this before. please help me i like her to sleep with us.
Hi Julie,
Take her to the vet. She may have an urinary tract infection. You getting the cover and her peeing on it most likely was a coincidence. Also clean the area and the cover with an enzymatic cat urine and odor remover. This will help remove temptation to use the area again. Try using this stuff for her litter;

You can get this at Petsmart.
The biggest thing that causes cats to stop using the litter box is because they are sick. Get her checked out. Good luck.
Ciao, Karen

Some thoughts to carry with you.
A Cat's 10 Commandments
My life is likely to last 15-20 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments. But I have only you.
Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
Before you swat me, before you strike me, remember that I have teeth that could draw blood. And claws to strike back. And yet I choose not to attack you.
If I don't act right then have me checked to see what is wrong.
Please take care of me when I grow old. You too will grow old.
On the difficult journey, on the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful thing without God's critters. Pass this on.
