Mom ‘Encroaches’ on Cat’s Personal Bed and His Reaction Is Too Funny
Have you ever tried to lay down in your pet's bed? I haven't, but after watching this video of Milo the Chonk's shock and dismay to his mom getting his bed, I'm curious to see how my dog would respond! Milo, a cat with a prim and proper personality, was not a fan of his mom getting into his bed, and his reactions cracked me up!
Mom posted the video at the beginning of September, and the first thing that surprised me was that Milo not only has his own bed which he's comfortably tucked in to, but he has his own room! Mom decides to see what happens when she lays down in his bed. At first, he just stares at her menacingly, He then gives her a warning and threatened her, and finally, he went in with the last resort...violence. Watch on to see how it ends.
"I have no other choice than to pee on her bed to make my dissatisfaction abundantly clear." Yep, I think that would get his point across! Milo's accent as he describes the incident made the video even funnier, and I hope that mom learned her lesson!
Commenters left nearly 500 comments about Milo's reaction to mom's encroachment. @KlumsyKayla pointed out, "The way he looked at the camera like “Are y'all seeing this?" LOL!" @Cherry Slush said simply, "Milo chose violence today." @Ana Rebeca made me laugh with, 'Milo *does not* consort with the staff." and @gobimanchurian had my favorite comment, "Milo was a mob boss in his past life."

Why Do Cats Pee on Our Beds?
Like Milo, cats will often end up peeing in their humans' beds when they are unhappy. There are also a few different other reasons that they do this:
Medical conditions such as urinary tract infection (UTI) or kidney infection
Stress or anxiety
Problems with the litter box itself
In Milo's case, I'm guessing he did it to relieve anxiety that he got when his unrefined human messed up his bed! If your cat does pee in your bed - whether it be one time or regularly - there are ways to stop it.
Cat calming experts at Feliway offer some easy suggestions to try if this is a problem in your home. First of all, remove the urine smell and stain by using a pet odor and stain remover. Do not use bleach, as they say that bleach will actually draw them back to the same spot. Another Pet Helpful article goes into more detail, "First, you must remove the odor from your home. Your cat will keep returning to that area if he can pick up the scent. Clean up the urine as soon as possible. Wipe up the mess with a paper towel and then use a disinfectant and odor-neutralizer. Avoid ammonia-based disinfectants because your cat will think it's urine and continue peeing in that area."
Feliway also recommends following the 'Golden Literbox Rule':
One litter box per cat, plus one (ex: if you have 2 cats, you should have 3 litter boxes)
Place each litter box in different areas of the home
Keep clean by scooping at least once daily
Change litter box at least every 3 weeks
Don't place food or water bowls near the box
If these recommendations don't work, check in with your vet. There may be an underlying medical condition or some kind of infection that needs to be medically addressed.
