My male kitten urinates on my bed.
I have had him neutered now for the past month and he will not stop using my bed for a toilet.I need advise to help me figure out away to stop him from this problem.
I would greatly appreciate any advice that someone could give me on this topic.
Thank you.

If the urine has soaked through to the matress I would clean it with a product such as Nature's Miracle. This should competely eliminate any odor that might cause him to go there again.

Just out of curiousity, do you have a down comforter on your bed? It seems that some cats find these attractive to urinate on.

Hello. I agree with what Nern said. Also, you may want to take him to a vet to rule out a UTI (urinary tract infection) or other medical problems. Cats with a UTI and other medical problems will often associate the litter box with pain and will urinate in other areas (like your bed). UTIs are common in cats are are not expensive to treat. Medication is given for the kitty.

If it's not a UTI or other medical problem, then it's behavioral. Some causes of this are stress (brought on by people or other animals) or being angry at you for whatever reason.

At trip to the vet to rule a medical condition out never hurts. Keep us posted.
