Cat bladders are relatively small. Like any other living creature there are several reasons which may cause a cat to urinate on your expensive carpeting and upholstery.

            Older cats may suffer from a medical condition called feline urinary incontinence. Feline urinary incontinence simply means that the cats muscles have weaken over time and the cat’s bladder simply cannot hold the same volume of urine that it was able to when it was young.

            Contact your local veterinarian for possible pharmaceutical solutions to feline urinary incontinence.

            Younger healthy cats will empty their bladders on your carpeting and upholstery whenever they are unhappy with their environment. Something as innocent as your teenage daughter bringing over her new boyfriend for his initial introduction to your family could infuriate your cat to such an extent that the cat may urinate all over the boyfriend’s new leather coat.

            We call this condition feline urinary obstinance or simply the cat’s refusal to accept change in their environment. Feline urinary obstinance while not a recognized medical condition can be rather challenging as you try and figure out exactly what your cat is unhappy about.

            Since cats will definitely urinate on a clean area just to show their displeasure you need to take this into account before attempting any type of cleaning. Ignoring this fact of feline behavior will result in a urination tug of war with you cleaning and even replacing the carpeting or leather coat and the cat intentionally urinating on the very same area again.
