What to do if a cat wets the bed and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions

Solutions for cats who wet the bed despite repeated admonishment:

1. Do not beat or scold the cat after discovering that it has wet the bed. Some cats are very vindictive and will wet the bed next time.

2. Wash the sheets to remove the smell of cat urine.

3. Clean the litter box. Some cats will run to the bed to urinate because the litter box is too dirty.

4. If it is caused by estrus, you can take the cat for mating or neutering.

5. If a cat continues to urinate after repeated training, it may be a urinary tract disease. You can take the cat to the hospital for examination and treatment.
