Wick used to pee on the bed a lot, but he’s stop now (kinda; may still happen if he’s upset with someone). Associating it with being a bad thing, being consistent with that behavior, and actively making it something that will happen less frequently are all things that may help.
1) Bad Thing association – I carried over my litter training tactic to the bed, so each time it happened or was about to happen, I’d hiss very loudly and chase Wick off the bed, into his litter box. Or, I’ll hiss very loudly and put him in the litter box myself. If I catch it before hand and he then pees when he’s in the litterbox, I praise him a lot.
2) Consistency – This will depend on the situation, but even if he’s literally soaked my arm, leg, pillow, whatever, my priority is getting him to know that’s not allowed, so I’ll still do the same steps and get him to the box before doing any clean up or maintenance. If you have expensive sheets or something, that order may be different, but consistency is important. Because of this, barring off your bedroom/bed when you cannot supervise may be a good idea. Each time he does it successfully with no bad-association, it weakens the learning factor.
3) Less Frequency – This means cutting things off before it gets bad. If Wick wants to hang out on the bed, I review how long its been since I’ve seen him in his litter box. If it has been a while, I’ll let him explore a bit on the bed, but then call him to hang out with my elsewhere, or just pick him up and bring him somewhere else. This also means there are times when he just used the restroom and I invite him on the bed so have some exploration time with less-likelihood for peeing.
Hopefully these tips will help! Best of luck.
