I think it was around 6 or 7 months old. Just now he was in the family room with us and proceeded to pee! We couldn't believe it. Is this a medical problem? He has a vet appt this Friday. What could this be?

First pee of the day, clean catch, how old, etc. Stuff like that. Its inexpensive, too. Or it could be a completely non-medical brain fart. Sometimes they just go dumb. Tell your vet, have them check it out. Until something is found wrong or he does it again, treat it as a non-event and draw no attention to it.

I went to the bathroom, walked out and she was squatted right there on the living room rug. Just looked at me with absolutely no indication of what she was doing. I was so shocked that I just ignored it. Maybe brain fart. Or non-event. She hasn't done it sense. But, get the urine test, they are cheap and can rule out something before you have future vet bills.

I'm hoping it was a brain fart and not anything else. It just took me by surprise. Do you guys think this can be related to marking or anything like that?

Similarly, peeing while not even noticing (while sleeping, or just laying around) is most likely a UTI. Oscar had one over the winter and would just "wet his bed" every couple hours (he spends a lot of the day snoozing...). A clean pee sample to the vet can diagnose that quickly, and antibiotics make it go away almost immediately... ~Natalya

I don't want him to have a bladder infection but it would explain why he had an accident on the other hand if it isn't a bladder infection he had a brain fart and I don't want that to happen again. I didn't even have anymore Nature's Miracle. I had to go and buy some.
