the previous owners had cats that marked their territory on the walls and they are ruined. Will my femal cat spray as well becuse she smells the other cats urine? Do female cats spray? I know if we clean it she will still be able to smell it. Can I cover up the smell from her? Will she ruin the walls again?

Normally female cats don't spray, but under stress, like moving, can do strange things. Home Depot has a good product, Krud Kutter, that will clean the walls and carpets very well. Also, it's worth the price to invest in a small carpet steamer which works wonders and saves having someone come in and do it. I have 5 cats and have been there, done that and I can do a better job of carpet cleaning than any service I have ever tried.

I'm not aware that female cats spray and I've had quite a few. Moving to a new place can be scary for her so just let her wander and or hide, dont try to confine her to a certain room until she is used to the change.
My daughter's cat was accidentally locked in her room and couldnt use the litter box and peed on her bed. We used Febreze on it first to take away the smell and then used soap and water and Febreze again and the smell was gone the same day !!!

It's true that female cats don't normally spray, but all cats will urinate on floors, carpets or clothing if they are angry or upset. I would suggest cleaning the walls as best you can (use bleach followed by a paste of baking soda and water). No guarantees, but it should help.

Female cats do spray, believe me I know. My cat does, I will get her spayed because that is suppose to stop them from spraying. It does smell pretty bad, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. So my suggeston is get her spayed, and clean the walls with vinegar as much as possible. Good luck.

You should seriously consider cleaning your walls and spraying a good disinfectant on them...Ok...Female cats do not spray only male cats do...That is the reason when you have a male cat in your home you have to get them neutered...Is your female cat spayed...

If your cat is fixed you will not have a problem. However that smell never goes away. You will still be able to smell it. You could alway put up new walls.

My 2 cats have lived in 3 different places in the final 4 years - they get strange for each week or 2, and then often grow to be themselves after a month. yet, each and each cat is different, and my 2 are fairly shy. Outgoing cats could adapt swifter.

female cats can spray, but it isn't that horrifying stench of an unfixed male cat. Fixed cats only spray when they feel their territory is threatened. Once she feels at home and knows it's "hers", she won't spray.
