Cat urinating problems

18 15:48:15

Question
My cat has started to urinate at the foot of my bed.  She has just started it this year and I am having to constantly wash my down comforter.  She also uses her litter box which is nearby.  Can you please let me know if there is anyway to stop her?
Thanks,
Alicia

Answer
Hi Alicia,
I would definitely take your cat to your veterinarian.  A urinary tract infection is the number one cause for this type of behavior.
If your cat is not spayed, she is "marking her territory" and spaying will help eliminate the problem.
I hope this helps!
