Neutered Male Cat Spraying In The House |
|
|
I have been having trouble for a couple of years with my male, neutered, indoor cat spraying around the house. He has a litterbox that I scoop everyday. He's been checked out by the vet. The vet also suggested an expensive pheremone plug-in that didn't work. I spray affected areas with enzyme spray. There are periods of time he doesn't do this, but it is definitely an ongoing problem. He is about 10 years old and never had a problem with this before. Any advice?

I don't think anything works. I have tried the sprays and the plug in. My 11 yr old cat is still spraying. This started when we moved and he is still doing it. Nothing works. Started putting him in the laundry room at nite so he wouldn't spray on the carpet in the dining room...now he sprays the door in the laundry room. I feel like we have run out of options other than to put him to sleep. He is declawed and scared to be outside because I have tried that as a last resort. Don't know what else to do.

I have a 3 year old male cat that was neutered when he was a couple of months old. This week he started spraying in the house. My 9 month old puppy just came into puppy heat, can this cause a male cat to start spraying? I will check back to this web site for any possible answers. Thank-you

Have there been ANY changes at all in your household? Cats are extremely sensitive to change.
You might want to give the spray pheromone a chance. I was using the spray pheromone (Feliway) and thought I would try the plug-in instead. I was very unhappy with the plug-in. I didn't think it was effective at all so I went back to the spray.

I have a male cat that is neutered and he started doing this when the windows are open and other toms are outside. He was attacked when he was 9 years old through the screen door and tore his cornea. Not much has convinced him not to do this. He is 14 now and we just clean up after him. If it gets too bad we just close the house back up and that calms him down. Have several other cats and they don't do this .....so far.

My brother's cat did this when his daughter was born. A friend's cat did this when her poodle died giving birth to a stillborn litter. Another's cat did this when she brought a new kitten home. Another's did this when her sister moved in. It seems to be the way male neutered cats handle stress and change. Is something going on in your life or household?

My daughter's cat did the same thing. He was about 11 yrs. He started doing it just recently. Their house smelled terrible. Vet checked him out for kidney infections. He was fine. Have you had another mail kitten in the house? That's what she thoought maybe started it. But he was fixed when he was an 8 week old kitten. How do they even know about marking the territory? Anyway, they finally put him to sleep.
