Revenge against the master

If a cat feels that its owner has been indifferent, inattentive, or has lost its temper recently, the cat may poop on the bed in retaliation for the owner. In this regard, it is recommended that the owner pay more attention to the cat, accompany the cat, and at the same time give the cat some snacks that it usually likes to eat. As long as it offsets its revengeful mentality, it will not poop on the bed.

The litter box was not cleaned in time

If the owner fails to clean the cat's litter box in time, the cat may choose to poop on the bed to remind the owner that it is time to clean the litter box. If this is the case, the owner only needs to remember to clean the cat's litter box on time every day, so that the cat can return to its normal routine.

The placement of the litter box or the litter is not to the cat’s liking

Cats like to defecate in ventilated, quiet, soft, dry and clean places. If the position of the litter box or the litter is changed, the cat may suddenly go to the bed to defecate. At this time, the owner can adjust the position of the litter box, replace the cat with softer litter, and educate the cat not to poop on the bed.

Lack of training

Cats pooping on the bed may also be related to the fact that the owner has not taught the cat to urinate and defecate in a fixed position since childhood. When it feels comfortable and safe to urinate somewhere at home, it will often urinate there, and softer places such as beds and sofas are cats’ favorite places. In this regard, owners can purchase inducers to train cats to defecate in the litter box.

Gastrointestinal problems

In addition, if a cat has gastrointestinal problems, it may cause diarrhea. At this time, the owner needs to carefully observe the cat's feces. If there is any abnormality, it is recommended to take the cat to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
