how do you stop your cat from marking territory all over the house?

Question

our cat is fixed he just wont stop squirting in certain places of the house..

Answer 1

I'd make sure first there isnt something medically wrong with him. The cat may be spraying urine or scent from the anal glands; the vet can check. Then, get either the "no spray" stuff at the pet store, or splurge on the stronger version at the vet's office.

Cats can smell things we cant, and even when we scrub with bleach and Mr Clean, they can smell and will return to those area. (thats with spraying and urine) Thats why you need the special scent stuff to clean the areas where he has gone.

Answer 2

There is "no spray" spray you can buy at the pet store. It's supposed to help deter cats from marking their territory in certain areas of the house. It may be attracted to a certain scent, so it's a good idea to really clean those areas well, with something like "Nature's Miracle". This gets rid of animals stains, smells, etc. Also, have a squirt bottle full of water handy, and whenever you see your cat marking it's territory, spray the hell out of it! Best of luck!

Answer 3

Try spraying him with a water bottle every time. However, if that doesn't work, talk to the vet. I believe there is something you can spray on furniture, etc, that you can't smell but he can. It will make him stop. I have a female cat, though, so I'm no expert on this particular area. I do know that talking to a vet is always a good idea, though. :-)

Answer 4

Take your cat to the vet. They have a variety of methods (including medication) to get your cat to stop marking its territory.

super glue will stop cats from marking their territory. Just glue the openings shut.

Neuter your cat. That often stops the problem.
