My daughter is turning 6 and we bought a large gold 6 shaped balloon for her. We've had it for a little over a week since her party was before her actual birthday and our cats have loved chasing the string that is attached to the balloon. Since today is her actual birthday I tied the balloon to the exercise bike in living room instead of letting it float the house. Big mistake.
Every morning my codependent cat Rainbow Rainbow greets me at the bedroom door and is ready to follow me for the day, but no cat this morning. I was worried and searched the house, but I couldn't find him. I woke my wife and we called for him and shook treats....finally we heard a cry from the windowsill. He was hiding being the curtains and refused to come out. At the time I didn't even figure the balloon was part of the equation since he loved playing with it before.
I held Rainbow till he bolted upstairs to our bed where my wife had returned since finding him. My wife commented that he was tense and shaking, I picked him up again and felt hot wetness on my chest. That's when my wife realized Rainbow had peed on the bed, through the duvet, comforter, and mattress pad. He apparently had been too scared to go to the bathroom all night and finally felt safe.
He still won't go near where the balloon was tied, but I figure by the time I finish these 5 loads of laundry he'll be ok.
TLDR: My cat was too scared of a balloon to use the litterbox and peed all over our bed.
