Someone, maybe Buidheag or maybe Somhairle has peed in Janet’s bed while I was asleep. I was fast asleep all day and Janet was greeted with a horrible surprise when she got in bed.

Why do these animals do such things? There is a litter tray in the bathroom next door. Perhaps it was because the tray wasn’t sufficiently clean, which it wasn’t. But maybe they are just beyond understanding.

Because trey regard us as “staff” and whatever that means. Most uncomfortable but who would be without them. Our eldest is now a “tripod” cat having lost a leg due cancer. He is really mobile but occasionally can’t do what he could ! But can any of us with an equivalent age of 80 !

Oops . . .

My own cat, just once, during kitten hood, pooped in an inappropriate place, the upstairs landing.   I found it when I hot home from work.   I started to scold her, but the poor creature was just cowering in the corner, looking terribly ashamed and embarrassed .   

I eventually realised, that was the first time I’d even seen her upstairs, without having carried her myself.   I had an open-tread hardwood staircase and it turned out, she had simply reached a threshold of growth that had enabled her to climb the stairs, but not to descend again.  She’d been stuck up there for hours, and she’d got caught short!

I decided to spare her embarrassment, to quietly clean it up, and never to mention it again.    It was a few more weeks before she ventured upstairs again but by that time, she was able to climb back down too.

Buidheag is just over ten years old and Somhairle must be two years old about now. Somhairle just doesn’t seem to ‘get it’. And Buidheag seems to not want to go outside these day; could be because she is very frightened of Tom. But she has two litter trays so doesn’t need to be caught ought.

My large woolly socks just fell off the bedpost in my bedroom and on to the floor. Right in front of Janet, Buidheag went over to the socks and peed on them. What on Earth is going on? Frightened of meeting Tom maybe?

SHe's obviously unhappy about something.     There can be medical reasons why, but to do it under the circumstances you described above infers to me that was a deliberate action rather than being caught short.

Buidheag is incredibly fussy and seems very very happy. Since my Caoimhe, my continual bed companion and little sneezy sweetheart died, she is no longer permanently in the crook of my arm and Buidheag has moved in instead; with delight Buidheag keeps coming to visit me in bed asking for fuss and occasionally wanting cat treats. So she seems extremely happy - in fact much more so for good reasons. I think she has a big problem with Tom though and Janet says that Buidheag is frightened to go into the pantry downstairs where the cat door is and near where the main food bowls are. There is always a supply of cat crunches in a dish on a shelf by my bed and all the cats apart from Tom use it constantly when they are upstairs. Tom came to cuddle me in bed for many hours on Tuseday afternoon, until we both fell asleep, but I haven’t seen him since. So he is about. But he is not in Buidheag’s way. When she is not fussing round me she is often asleep curled up in Ciarán’s upstairs dogbed in my bedroom, something Ciarán is dismayed about.

Then.

Tom came to cuddle me in bed for many hours on Tuseday afternoon,

Wonder if she could smell his scent on the bed and attempting to mark what she now sees as her rightful domain since Caoimhe died.
Thinking about it, a male cat will usually spray to mark territory - female cats cant do that so wonder if that's why she's doing a full pee where it is going to be noticeable by you.    Cat's are weird creatures, gawd knows what they are thinking at times. 

[Weaver]

That’s a very good point indeed.

You say that as if humans make perfect sense.
