I took my Bengal (Meiuxy) to the vets on 4/30, but they could not get a urine sample and I was leaving for an out of town wedding that afternoon. I was hoping to get a DX on the problem from the vet before I left in case he was ill (I didn't want him to suffer). Unfortunately, the vet couldn't do anything then and thought it was behavioral. I don't think it is. He has begun urinating on anything soft left on the floor and this morning was pacing and crying. I locked him in a bathroom with a litter pan and am taking a urine sample to the vet on my lunch hour today. (I managed to get a sample within 5 minutes of being home Sunday night with a litterpan filled with litter and thn covered in a plastic liner over the litter.) At least he's cooperating on that front! I will have to get the odor remover suggested and the Feliway just to be on the safe side, but I'm thinking it's medical at this point!



Will let you know! THanks for all the tips!
