Finding a yellow wet spot on the bed is every cat owner's nightmare. Before anything else, rule out disease: feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) makes urination painful, so cats link the box with discomfort and seek softer spots like the bed. If peeing comes with straining, blood, or constant licking, see a vet. Non-medical causes are a disliked litter box (bad location, poor hygiene, wrong litter, too few boxes in multi-cat homes) and stress or anxiety.
