Why Does My Cat Poop on My Bed?
For many cat parents, there’s nothing better than curling up in bed at the end of a long day with a purring kitty beside them. So few things could be more distressing than an unwelcome surprise beneath the sheets, and finding your cat pooping on the bed. If you cat is abandoning their litter box for your bed, it can, of course, be a huge problem —and a confusing one at that. Especially if your cat seems to be a happy, healthy feline, this behavior can cause you to wonder what the heck could be causing this unpleasant issue. Such was the case with a couple who previously called me, in need of my cat behavioral services. They sent me photos and videos of two very happy Ragdoll siblings, playing and grooming each other contentedly. But, suddenly, one of them defecated in their bed! It wasn’t an everyday occurrence, but it was happening enough to cause stress in the household. After meeting the family and the cats in person, and asking a lot of probing questions, I began to understand what was going on and solve the problem. If your household is suffering the same smelly issue, here are some possible reasons why your cat is pooping on the bed, as well as what you can do about it.
