Answer 1

Hi there again Ahmad...unfortunately, there's no way to stop the spraying unless your male cat is neutered. Because you live in Iran consider a large containment kennel. Most breeders here will maintain a large kennel that is about 7 feet tall x 9 feet deep x 4 feet wide which contains tile flooring which then can be easily washed down.

By the way, male cats don't go into estrus. This is a term which applies to a female cat. Estrus means: the period of time when a female is receptive to mating.

Answer 2

Male cats don't go into estrus/heat. That's exclusively a female thing.

First...verify that he is indeed a boy. Female cats sometimes 'spray' exactly like males when they come into heat. The vocalization you mentioned is also something females commonly do when they're in heat. I have had many "male" cats come to me for neutering, and I ended up spaying them instead. ;-) That often involves a name change from something like Charlie to Charlotte. The ones named things like Butch....well, that presents a bit more of a challenge. LOL

If he is a male, getting him a female will not help. Once he breeds her and she gets pregnant, she will not come into heat so he can breed her again until the kittens are a couple of weeks old.....about 3 months later. So, you'll be right back in the same boat until then. And breeding will only actually INCREASE his desire to mark his territory by spraying urine.

If he's already spraying (which is due to sex hormones), the longer you put off the neutering, the less effective it will be at stopping the behavior. If neutered before they start spraying, they almost never start. But once they start doing it, it might or might not work. (You should still do that for him for other health benefits, however.)

Answer 3

Why do you think male go "on estrus"??????? Do human males do that????? When you think estrus...think ESTROGEN. Female horomone. Males have testosterone. Therefore, males do not go"on heat" "in heat" or have any kind of "estrus".

The male cat is sexually mature. He may smell a female in heat and that is making it worse, but it is not going to get better until you get him neutered. Getting him a female will not stop him from spraying. If anything, it can make it worse. The only thing to TRY and put a stop to the spraying is neutering. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to stop. There are MANY male cats that do not stop spraying even after being neutered. There is nothing else to even try. Neutering is the ONLY thing that MAY work. You have already waited too long. Neutering should be done before sexual maturity is reached for this very reason.

Good luck.....the smell is awful.

Answer 4

Once a male has learned that he can spray, chances are, neutering him will not stop it. IF he JUST started, your best option is to neuter NOW!

A male cat can NOT be in heat or on estrus - this is a FEMALE thing.

Two big benefits of neutering are the decrease in the smell of the urine and the decrease in the frequency of spraying. Not to mention cat fights, testicular cancer, prostate problems, roaming, chances of getting hit by a car, etc.

Answer 5

I've had cats all my live and neutering is the only way to stop spraying that I know of. As for the noise, male cats do not go into heat. He can smell another female in the neighborhood close by.
Neutering is the only way to solve that problem to.

Answer 6

First, male cats do not go into heat. What he is doing is not something that will happen only a couple of times a year like a female's heat. This is going to be an issue until you get him fixed.

Getting a female cat "for him" will not help at all. She may be receptive to him when she is in heat but that will only make things worse in your house.

Get him fixed NOW. It is your only option. If you need a low cost place to have him fixed, check out your local humane society/cat rescue groups and see if they have neuter days or coupons or arrangements with a local vet.

Answer 7

Seriously. You suggest getting him a female? That should not be an option at all. She WILL go into heat and then you could have all the stray males spraying all over the outside of your house. Then when she has babies there wil be 3-4 more spraying in your house.

Find a low cost spay/neuter clinic and get it done. Its a lot cheaper than having more cats and replacing furniture because of the smell.

Answer 8

Wow! A MALE cat in heat? Call Guiness!

He is not in heat (unless you actually have a female cat or hermaphrodite) but he has reached sexual maturity. Having him neutered as soon as possible may stop the spraying behavior in a month (when the testosterone is completely gone), or he may do it as a learned behavior...this is why vets recommend neutering at 6 months: BEFORE sexual maturity & all it's nasty habits are established.

Answer 9

There are no temporary fixes for a male cat leaving his scent. The male cat isn't in *heat*, he's sensing a feline that is already in heat somewhere close by, and is marking territory. Neutering is the best solution for that problem, you can't discipline a cat for utilizing a bodily function.

Answer 10

I don't know of anything that you can do other than having him neutered. If he is an indoor cat my best advice is to have it done quickly. Once a cat starts to spray it's very hard to break him of it even after he's fixed.
