He started off with an open tray before this happened, hence trying a lidded one.
He has had the odd accident since day 1 here, being a farm kitten i guess he was never "trained" to use a specific place to go. He use the cat litter 90% of the time.
I had a friend come round with her son on the Saturday, they were in my bedroom to borrow some makeup. This was the first day of a huge pee on my bed, we originally suspected it was her son who had an accident as it was a large amount.
Sunday we had kids round to play with my son, the kitten was shut in the bedroom and again peed on the bed but also soiled. There is also a tumble dryer in the room (i cant move it, nor not use it) which i have I have for as short times as possible as i know its a big noise for him but he seems to be used it it now and happily comes out to me and plays whilst it is running.
It is since these few incidences that it has become more or a problem.
I dont know if its something we can work out now, or wait it out untill the cats are happier in the same rooms and then cut off the bedroom.
I dont think a protest to being alone, I came home earlier and the bed was dry. Within 10 mins of being home, he had soiled. he has also done a poo in the box whilst I was out.
