Just once I would like to be able to leave home overnight and not have to clean my damn bed up. :\ No matter what we do... >_<

Argh.

I need to sleep for a thousand years.

I know you would like the offending behaviour to stop but if you can't then maybe you could do things like put a plastic sheet over the bed when you leave so thatthe clean up is a little less messy? Appologies if you have already tried my suggestion.

No worries. It was my fault. Normally I lock them out when I leave the house overnight, but they'd been really good and I thought they might not get as upset if I left the bedroom open so they could sleep in there instead of on the couch.

I have tried the plastic sheet routine - someone actually pulled the sheet off the bed and then peed on it. Or they pee on the plastic and try to bury the pee, ripping holes in it with claws and it leaks. :\ And if I hide a plastic sheet under the cloth bedsheet I'm still left with a sheet to wash.

If I pack in the bedroom, they pee on the bed while I'm packing. If I lock them out of the room for the weekend, my bed is dry until they find a split-second when I'm not paying attention, and they'll pee on it while I'm unpacking. It's highly frustrating. This time around there was multiple pee stains, one litterbox untouched, another full to the brim, and a bathtub full of cat poo.

I really am left feeling like it's useless for me to travel, since I always come home to filth.

Bottom line: Neither of my cats appreciates me leaving my home for more than 24 hours, and that is how they let me know. :\

Oh dear. I can see why you are of the mind that it is useless to do something. Makes me glad our little animals are in cages. it confines the area they can damage.
One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
