we got a new pup in october....i have 7 yr old cats and another older dog of 9.
the cats do not like the new pup even though he tries to be friendly - he is so much bigger than them and the other dog and they hiss and scratch if he tries to get near them.
consequently i have let them upstairs much more to avoid them getting stressed.
a few weeks ago one of them climbed on to my bed at 5am....nothing unusual there....but she bloody peed on me! i had to change all the bedding and duvet!
today my son came home from work and found the same cat had apparently done a crap on his bed....we changed it to find she had also peed and soaked the duvet, mattress protector and mattress.
how can i stop the dirty protests!?
their litter tray was clean and at the foot of the stairs along with a bowl of water.
their food is high on the kitchen top.
the new pup is not aggressive toward them in any way - but they are to him.
i dont want to stop the cats from being upstairs as they are clearly not happy with the new arrival and want peace and quiet....but if they carry on ruining bedding and mattresses im going to have to stop them from being upstairs.
they are free to go out but tend to choose to stay in especially in the cold weather - hence the litter tray for them.
