Question
I have 4 month male kitten who is urinating on the bed but only the bed and he is not fixed. how do i get him to stop doing it on the bed ?

Answer
Dave,

Usually the cause is that the kitten is upset at you for something. Have there been any changes in the household? New pets? New people? Have you left him for a couple of days? Sometimes you need to be a detective to put your finder on it.

Something may have scared him when he used the litterbox to pee and now he doesn't want to use it. It also could be a medical problem in that he has pain when he pees and he associates that pain with the litterbox and goes elsewhere.

Getting him fixed may solve the problem also. He is at the age where his male hormones may be kicking into gear especially if he smells a female in heat in the neighborhood. I would get him neutered and also talk to the vet about what he is doing and have him checked.
