Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

Please take your cat to the vet immediately, and have them run full liver panels. He may be getting addled from built-up toxins; this happened with a cat of mine. If you catch this quickly enough, you can change the cat’s diet to improve liver function. I can’t stress strongly enough: Get him to the Vet!
Best of luck to you, and may you have your cat for many more years . . .

If he has not been fixed it sounds like he’s marking his territory. It would be a good idea to have him seen by a vet to make sure he doesn’t have anything else wrong. Don’t have any easy solution for you, but irish spring bar soap, the original, will get the smell out.

He needs to go to the Vet. Cats start peeing all over the house when they get urinary tract infections, common in some cats. It will stop as soon as he gets some antibiotics. he cannot help it, he is probably in pain.

maybe he hasn’t learned that the litter box is for peeing at stuff, wait till u think she’s gonna pee or somethng then quickly pick her up and put him on the litter box, he’ll learn soon enough wat the litter box is for

He is showing you his preference! What a behind, Cat’s are very independent minded and they do the weirdest things to annoy you.
I’m thinking the cat objects to something in the litter box so he is making a statement by using the bed instead.
I am not really good at helping cats figure this out, my cat meow’s at the door, goes out to use the potty and then scratches to come back in. Love her.
There are some excellent sites out there with some very loving cat people. Good Luck

i suggest taking him to the vet and having him checked out for a urinary tract infection…sometimes cats tell you these things by acting out the way yours is…is this cat neutered? he may be coming of age now and is having hormonal changes and behavior changes. (that’s if he’s not ueutered)
i would think tho that he has a UTI ask the vet on this one.
Cat urinary tract infections (UTI) are serious and common, and unfortunately are often a reoccurring problem for cats. Male cats are more prone to these infections. Signs of a cat UTI include straining to urinate, not using the litter box, and licking themselves. There is a lot that isn’t known about these infections. While some can be traced to a specific cause such as urinary stones or cancer, many times the cause is illusive. Furthermore, once a cat gets a UTI the odds become much greater that he will get another one. Veterinary attention is needed if a cat has a UTI. In cases where the UTI causes a blockage the infection is fatal if left untreated.
Even though the cause is often questionable things can be done to help reduce the odds of another infection occurring. Switching to canned food is frequently recommended as it helps the cat take in more water. Specially formulated food can also be useful; these foods are low in magnesium and promote acidic urine which typically reduces the risk of infection. There are also supplements and supplement type treats that accomplish the same thing. However, don’t give these specialty foods, supplements, and treats in combination as this is essentially an over-prescription and can cause problems. Another recommendation is to allow a cat to have either small frequent meals or to be able to eat at will through out the day. As someone who has one cat who is overweight and another cat that has had trouble with UTI, this solution can be a maddening as the food rarely makes it into the right mouth. Providing fresh water is important too. Some cats are finicky about where they drink their water from. Some will only drink from a running source like a recently used shower, or sink, some will even drink strait from the tap but they may not drink from a bowl. These cats can sometimes be satisfied with a cat water fountain or bubbler as it provides a continuous supply of fresh water. My cat also has this issue as he used to drink from the shower, but now only wants to drink from water from a glass, preferably (for him) the same glass that I drink from. Water obviously is a necessity for any cat, but is thought to also help stave off UTI’s too.
