no matter what i do my cats pee over everything, mostly me BED and clean laundry, yesterday i cought one of them peeing in a box that holds all my important papers, i've tried everything from fixxing them to enzime sprays, i even clean the litter box every single day. Not to mention rub their noses in it everytime they do it, but nothing is helping, should i just get rid of them? or try somthing else?

You should get rid of them and try to move on with your life with other animals.

Have there been any recent changes in your household? New carpet, new baby, new house, different boyfriend/girlfriend, new pet? Some cats find change very difficult and will urinate to mark territory or familiarity. If you have taken them to your veterinarian to be sure there are no underlying medical problems causing this behavior start by using a cleaner especially design for cat urine. Nature's Miracle will break down the urine odor and stain, leaving no residue. If you have more than one cat, you should have a litter box for each cat. Place a litter box where they are urinating if possible after the spot has been cleaned. Try a different type of litter. Scented litter can be offensive to some cats, some don't like clumping litter. Place their food bowl where they are urinating.
If you decide not keep them do the right thing. Where ever you take them, be honest and tell them the cats are not using the litter box. They will probably tell you the cats will not be placed for adoption because they couldn't adopt them to someone else who may have the same problem. It's not fair to the cats to be placed in home after home or potentially thrown out on the street and it's not fair for someone else to deal with the cats not using the litter box.

Well... this is normal.. they want to make sure that they mark their territory.. and that is the way cats do it. Many thousands of cats spray in the house. The problem usually stems from them being unhappy in one way or another.
Their unhappiness can be caused by many things but the bottom line is that they usually think that their territory is threatened in some way.
The threat may come from another cat (especially a new cat in the area), the smell of a cat that used to live in the house, fear of a person or particular type of person e.g men or women.
Exactly where the problem stems from can be difficult to detect but the things that you should look for are changes that were happening at the time the spraying started.
In some cases it is sufficient to remove the cause of the unhappiness or to rearrange things so that the cat doesn't have to come into contact with it.
Very often a cat will start spraying, then the problem goes away but the spraying has become a habit and so it continues. If you think this is the case then you can try cleaning the affected area with a solution of biological washing powder in warm water, to remove much of the smell.
Once the area is dry, use Simple Green... or pinsol (all mixed with water, of course) on the area to mask the smell of the remaining scent. It is very important not to use any products that contain bleach as this can encourage spraying. It can also help to place small dishes of dried food at the spraying areas because some cats don't like to spray on top of their food.

Last year my beautiful Manx cat Theodore went out for the evening and never came back. I love cats and the house didn't feel the same without one, so I picked up Lola from a rescue centre. She was very frightened and would pee all over the house. I found Cat Spraying No More� on the internet and the techniques worked almost immediately. I haven't had a problem with Lola since. Amazing!
Can't stop your cat peeing in the house? Then worry no more...

When I was a kid my Dad shot my cat for doing that...yes I know it sounds horrible but that's how things were done when I was young and living in the country. I guess if I were in your shoes I would either find them a home where they would be barncats or get them euthanized. Oh I just had one more thought...could they possibly have bladder infections. That would cause them to go more and not where they are supposed to.

You need to confine the cats to one room until they consistantly use the litterbox. Rubbing their noses in it, does not help.

this is just a thought but...maybe the cats are jealous of eachother. they are both competing for ur love. so they mark their teritory by spraying
