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.

Answer
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
