TAZ: I used to pee on the bed. Often enough that TBT bought a waterproof sheet he had to spread out every morning and remove at night so he could sleep [TBT: It was annoyingly hot and crinkly-sounding for me to sleep under].
But then I stopped fer a couple months, so he stopped using it.
Well, I was a bad boy a couple days ago. It was late morning and TBT was still sleeping. Suddenly he felt "damp". I was not only peeing on the bed, I was peeing on him. I don't know why I did that, but ya know it must have seemed like a good idea at the time.
He shoved me off the bed (and I left a slight trail as he did). Of course he got up and was upset.
TBT: I was surprised and annoyed. I thought Taz was done with that bad habit. But I awoke to actually seeing him doing it. So first, I got up and tossed the sheet/blanket open. Then I put Taz outside in case he had more desire to continue. Pulled off the peed clothes, showered, and got dressed (it was time to get up anyway).
Went down to the basement to see if I had forgotten to clean the litterboxes... Nope, all mostly clean from overnight and 2 entirely unused. I have 5 litterboxes for 4 cats.
The amount of pee was actually very impressive. I literally didn't know he "had that in him". 😒 A good 2' circle, soaked! And a trail as he ran off. So I am back to covering the bed with the waterproof sheet again
Meanwhile Taz was outside. And not for adventure, but for penitence! And he seemed to understand that. He just sat on the deck and lawn not doing much.
I pulled off the blanket and sheet that go above me, the sheet and blanket below me and dragged them all down to the laundry washer. Sniffed the layers of sheets and blankets (it's a waterbed and needs layers of them so I don't get cold at night). Couldn't smell any pee that far down, but what is my nose compared to a cat's. But anyway, I sprayed peed area with a urine neutralizer, given that it had been a few months since previous problems.
When I let Taz back inside, I didn't shower him with attention (that might have signaled some sort of apology); I just let things go back to "normal".
I hope that was a one-off event...
