Thyroid condition cat, peeing all over bed.

Thanks for reaching out about your kitty's situation. I can imagine how stressful it must be to find your cat peeing on the bed, especially with their existing thyroid condition. Cats with hyperthyroidism often experience increased thirst and urination. This condition, combined with stress or litter box issues, could be why your cat is avoiding the litter box.



In the meantime, try placing additional litter boxes in accessible, quiet areas away from any loud noises or heavy foot traffic. Using unscented litter and maintaining a clean box can also encourage them to use their designated spot.



However, frequent urination outside the box might indicate other medical issues, such as a urinary tract infection or kidney problems, which sometimes accompany thyroid issues. Watch for signs like blood in the urine, straining to urinate, or vocalizing during urination. If these occur, it’s crucial to seek veterinary care promptly, as they could indicate a more serious underlying problem.



I recommend scheduling a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We'll delve deeper into your cat’s symptoms and condition, provide guidance tailored to their needs, and decide on the best next steps to ensure they’re comfortable and healthy.
