Hello - I'm new here!
My name is Heather and my kitten, Bogart, is about 4 months old. When I got Bogart I fell in love with him. I got him as a companion for Shyanne, my 12 year old cat. Shyanne and Bogart get along perfectly.
Both are males, Shyanne is neutered but Bogart is too young to neuter (according to my vet). After one month Bogart for an unknow reason jumped on my boyfriends leather sofa and urninated on the sofa and a blanket. I didn't catch him in the act so I couldn't punish him. About two weeks later I was folding laundry in my room and walked in on him urinating on my bed. Because he was caught in the act, I yelled no, grabbed the scruff of his neck, pressed his nose to the urine said "NO, bad kitty" and took him to the litter box.
I took him to the vet where they ran tests for a UTI but nothing was found. As a preventative measure he was given amoxi for a week. All has been well for the past four weeks...until today. I walked into our bedroom and found that strong odor of cat urine. After searching the carpets I realized he peed on my bed..AGAIN.
Has anybody else had this happen and does anybody have any answers? This type of behavior while hit and miss is not acceptable. If I allow this to continue what's next the sofa's, the carpets? That is not an option .. I love this little guy and don't want to give him up because of his behavior, but I'm desperate for help.
The vet doesn't have the answers, but i know sometimes reaching out to others that have encountered the same problems helps to find some answers!
Thanks to anybody that can respond!
Heather & Bogart
