My 4 year old neutered male cat, Romeo, who always used the litter box started urinating on the guest bed in the same room as the litter boxes. He started doing it when my husband and I went on vacation October 2013.
There have been no new changes in our household and I recently took him to the vet to find out if something was wrong with him. There is nothing wrong with him besides maybe some behavior issues, due to some not so great feelings towards our 1 and half year old Pug, Otis. I have 1 other cat and two huge covered litter boxes. And Romeo and the other cat are pals.
I bought a Comfort Zone plug in diffuser 2 weeks ago and it is still not helping! The most confusing part is he still uses the litter box too. I have a plastic cover on the bed and have thrown out the pillows he urinated on. I need to be able to use that bed for family and guests. Please help!

Hi Valerie, it sounds like your kitty was not too happy that you left and he is showing you how stressed out he was. You need to do something with him that reassures him he won't be left again or have someone stay at the home when you go on vacation as well as something with your scent or someone else's scent whom he is closest to.
If there were no other changes besides the vacation then it could be it. Have you always had the covers on the litter boxes or is that new? I know one of my cats doesn't like the cover and will not use it when it is on so I removed it, you can also try removing the cover and see if there is a change. Every pee scent is also now on your bed, which he is also smelling, Clean it very well or get rid of it.
