If our cat has a urinary tract problem or if it is not being cared for as it should, it could be the case that it urinates in places that it does not touch, such as the bed.
In situations like this it is normal for our first reaction to be to get angry, but we should not do this as it will do nothing more than to make the animal feel even worse. So let's see how to remove urine from a mattress and what to do to help you.
How to clean a mattress?
Things you are going to need
- Vaccum cleaner
- Soft brush
- Large piece of plastic
- Spray disinfectant
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Sponge
- Carpet cleaner
- Box without baking soda April
Step by step
The step by step to follow is as follows:
- The first thing to do is remove all the bedding and wash it with hot water and detergent.
- Meanwhile, we will place a cup full of baking soda with a little water on the urine stained area and let it act for 6-8 hours.
- After that time, we aspirate the baking soda and spray the mattress with a spray disinfectant.
If it does not work, we can mix 1l of hydrogen peroxide, 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of baking soda, leaving it to act for 30 minutes.
What to do so that it does not happen again?
Once the mattress is clean, I recommend that you keep the following in mind so that your cat does not urinate on it again:
- Keep the litter tray always clean. All stool and urine must be removed daily, and the tray must be cleaned "thoroughly" once a week.
- Feed him a high-quality, grain-free meal. From my own experience I know that a bad feed is often a source of major problems that will cause the cat to urinate all over the house.
- Take care of it as it deserves. Love him and be respectful to him. Make time for her every day to make her happy. A cat is not an object, but a living being that you decided to take home, to your family.
- Take him to the vet. Just in case. Urination may be due to a urinary infection or kidney stones. To regain health, you will need professional care.
I hope it has been useful to you.
Thank you for this useful information. Out of territoriality and jealousy we have been finding urine on the bed. They only stop urinating when Felyway is put on, but then you have to be careful not to sharpen your nails! Perhaps a more thorough cleaning will help.
Hello Almu.
Have you taken him to the vet? I ask because sometimes these behaviors are caused by infections.
One of my cats was also urinating all over the place and it turned out that she had a urine infection. It was solved by changing his diet (he now eats a grain-free feed).
A greeting.
