My 5 year old cat who has beenj neutered is spraying in the house, what can I do to deter him?

Answer 1

Neutered male cats and even female spayed cats can suddenly begin spraying in the house. The house is your cat's territory and cats, especially males, can be very territorial. If there is a sudden change in the cat's enrivonment or a perceived external threat to the territory, a cat will begin spraying to mark that territory as hers/his and to ward off any would-be intruders. That said, something is stressing your cat out to cause this sudden behavior. You need to do a little detective work to figure out what it is. Check around the outside of your house. Did a new neighbor move in? Do they have a cat or a dog? Has any strange cat come to your back door, patio or yard? Do you have a new baby? These are the sorts of things that can trigger a cat to spray. It's an intolerable behavior, so you must try and remove whatever is stressing out your cat. Pay him some extra attention. Chase away any visiting felines that come on your property. Most of all, pay attention to the locations your cat is spraying and thoroughly clean the area with a neutralizing product available at most pet stores. If you are not sure where the cat is spaying, purchase one of those black lights that is great at detecting urine you cannot see with the naked eye (also available at the pet store). In a worst case scenario, contact a cat breeder in your area and see if they can help you purchase some "stud pants" for your cat. They're like diapers for stud cats (breeding males) and will help control the spraying till you figure out the underlying cause. Good luck.

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...

Answer 3

Neutered and spayed cats will suddenly start to do this if there is a change in their household and their position in the hierarchy is threatened. It might not even be a visible threat to you. It could range from the introduction of a new member of the family (such as human or kitten) to a threat posed by a stray who creeps in when you sleep and steals food to even the fact that he thinks you aren't giving him enough attention.
First try to find out the reason for his sudden insecurity. Watch carefully.
Give him more attention.
If he sprays in one place, remove what he is sprays on, if possible, and start feeding him there.
Meanwhile, wipe all fresh spray off with hot water and vinegar. You are lucky, because neutered cat spray is not nearly as pungent as un-neutered.

some cats initiate spraying interior the abode. you will want to first rule out any scientific motives, including FUS or cystitis. sometimes that's sensible to differentiate between spraying (which lands up on partitions) and urinating (it incredibly is quite often on the floor). Spraying is extra regularly a habit concern and urination is extra regularly a scientific concern. that's superb to envision with a vet first. If the priority is scientific, then you definately will could purely freshen up the scent after the priority is dealt with, or you will could try the diverse habit substitute defined under (and you will nonetheless could freshen up the scent). you're able to do away with the scent from products that the cat sprayed directly to evade the cat from making use of the comparable spot back later. The ammonia scent tells the cat that it incredibly is an removing spot, so on no account use ammonia to attempt and "do away with" the scent! See (removing Urine scent). Cats sometimes spray to mark their territory so sometimes an area to your cat that different animals can not pass to will help. protecting the litterbox immaculate will help in different circumstances. sometimes cats %. small throw rugs with non-skid backing to urinate on. it incredibly is led to by making use of an scent from the backing that by some ability tells the cat to urinate there (probable an ammonia-like scent). Cat-repellent sprays or washing the rug would help; you're able to desire to easily could do away with that rug. before neutered cat has purely a splash testicular or ovarian tissue final, probable ensuing in a low point of hormone that would set off marking

Answer 6

No smacking, rubbing his nose in it or throwing him out! There may be a new cat on the block who will appear to your cat to be a threat. This is his way of marking his territory, especially near entry and exit points to your home. Try to see off any strange cats in your garden as they will be doing the same outside. A bit of war of wills unfortunately. He will stop once he feels secure again.

Answer 7

Have a word with your vet. Sometimes neutered cats develop hormone problems, and this can involve inappropriate urinating.

Answer 8

Just keep him in 1 room for awhile it sounds like he feels threatened have you got another cat or has one come into your house recently

Rub his nose it each time and ignore him afterwards for about an hour, if he comes over push him away.

He'll get the idea after about 5-10 times of doing it, that does work!
