Hi there…your brother’s cat may likely have a lower urinary tract infection (UTI/FLUTD). Left untreated this can become life-threatening within a short period of time.
Please consider ringing your veterinarian to discuss the cat’s symptoms to determine when your cat can come in to clinic to be evaluated and treated respectively.

Keep the door shut. One of our old dogs love to pee on my bed.
Probely because something triggered his self conisious mind that made him remember something to do with the smell of your brotheres bed.
if he peed on it once he marked the spot and will keep going back to that one spot becus thats his territory now
cuz yal are idiots.
Cats often start urinating in innappropriate places as a way of telling you something is wrong. Nine times out of ten, it’s because they have a bladder infection. Get your cat to the vet and have them perform a urinalysis. They will check for blood, proteins, glucose, bacteria and white blood cells and be able to tell you if there’s an infection or not. If it is a bladder infection, a simple course of antibiotics will clear it up within a couple of weeks.
If there is no infection, you may just have a stressed out cat. Have there been any changes in the household recently? New animals, people, renovations, moving? These are all things that can cause stress, which in turn, causes your cat to pee in places other than his litter box. Whatever the root cause, your cat is asking for help in the only way he knows how.
Good luck!
Usually peeing on the bed is personal… has your brother done anything to the cat (tease him?)
The first thing to do is make sure he doesn’t have a bladder infection, and treat that – if the infection is gone, and the behavior doesn’t go away – something else is going on.
Definitely keep the door closed in the meantime thought
