Why does my cat pee on things?

[leela]

I have two ginger toms who are 7 months old they have both been neutered. One recently got run over by a car but survived and is now recovering indoors. The other cat has become a nightmare and has turned evil!! The main problem is he is peeing in his bed! When i returned the poorly kitten home i kept the cat carrier out so he could fell safe and sleep in it but no suprises the evil one wee'd in it. What can i do to stop him doing this!! They have a litter tray which is cleaned regularly!!
Please help!!

This is territorial marking.

Your 'evil' cat is stating his territory to your other cat. The reasons could be various - he could be aware that the other cat is ill, which is unsettling him, he may simply be maturing and deciding to assert himself.

The only way around this is to keep your ill cat's bed somewhere where 'evil' can't get at it, and separate them as much is feasible while your recovering cat gets his health back.

Hopefully this will subside in time, but in the mean time, you can only remove as much of the cause and opportunity as you can.

Its very hard sometimes to feel like stroking 'evil' cat and to whisper sweet nothings in his ear (when he's pee'd all over the show) but he's obviously showing signs of being unsettled and whatever the cause is, it will help if you give him as much attention as possible. He may think that 'injured ' cat has brought back a few strange odours with him after his treatment at the vets also. Oh if only they could speak and just say what the blinkin problem is!
