Answer 1

Your male cat needs to get neutered. Not only will he live longer becuase of the procedure, he will also become a lot calmer and a lot lessen his proclivity to spray in the house. Both my male cats are neutered. The younger one had never sprayed but the older one does spray on occassion but only when he sees other cats outside and he wants to mark his territory and then again, he sprays outside - on plants and trees and bushes. He does this only a few times during the year.

Believe me, neutering is the answer to your cat's behavioral problem. If you don't have him neutered, not only will he keep on spraying, he will also go galivanting outside in search of females. And when he catches the scent of a female cat in heat, he'll howl and meow all night calling for her - will drive you crazy.

Neutering is a very simple ind inexpensive procedure now. Please do it - for your cat's sake and yours.

Well without seeing what he is doing...he is either peeing or spraying.

If he is spraying, neutering can help. Though it does depend on how far along the habit is. I have heard of some cats stopping completely...and others at least reducing it. It is marking his territory...a tomcat trait.

If it's actual pee (and his litterbox is clean)...you need to get him to a vet immediately. This could be a urinary tract infection, a kidney infection, etc. If his litterbox isn't clean, try cleaning it frequently and see if that helps. I have a cat that refuses to use the litterbox if it's not clean.

But in the case of it being a UTI, if left untreated, his kidney's could become infected and in the long run, it could kill him.

I think regardless of what is going on...it warrants a trip to the vet.

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 4

He is marking his territory.

Spraying is done while in a standing position while backed up to the object being "marked". You will notice him 'vibrating' his tail.

BY ALL MEANS HAVE HIM NEUTERED!!!!!

It MAY not stop the marking behaviour altogether at this late age because he's in "the habit". BUT it SHOULD slow it down quite drastically after the hormones are gone from his body. This usually takes 6 - 8 weeks. And, YES, keep his box as clean as possible...notice the condition of the box when he pees out of it. That will most likely give you a CLUE ;)

AND it WILL keep him from contributing to the pet over-population problem!!!

-------------------------------

EDIT: Do NOT have this cat declawed!!!!! Simply TRAIN him not to scratch where you don't want him to. Make SURE he has places JUST for him to use for that purpose. Scold him when he scratches where you don't want him to and IGNORE him when he uses HIS scratching posts so he doesn't get confused. I've used this method QUITE successfully!!!

To declaw a cat they cut off the tips of the toes at the knuckle just behind the claw.

How would YOU like to have YOUR FINGERS __*CUT OFF*__ at the first knuckle behind your fingernails?!?!?

I consider, declawing to be an archaic and inhumane tool of ignoramouses who are too lazy to learn how and train their cats properly.

Answer 5

By neutering him, it will take his male hormonal instincts away, but scratching is a natural instinct for all genders of cats. It is a theory that everyone should spay or neuter their cat or dog unless you want to use it for breeding purposes because of dangers in getting your pet impregnated or getting another person's pet impregnated. Many people may have a problem with your cat being not neutered because of these dangers.
If your cat is an outside cat, i would highly recommend you to neuter the cat because you will be in risk of getting another cat impregnated and possibly get sued.

Answer 6

Yep, neutering will be a huge help. Of course, it won't necessarily ALWAYS stop the spraying. It's not all that unusual for neutered cats to still spray though. Regardless, it should reduce or eliminate the issue.

Answer 7

Male cats tend to spray when they reach the age of being sexually mature. Also they spray when they feel threatened or over stressed. The best thing to do is neuter him it will reduce his motivation to spray and make sure every place he has spray is well cleaned. If he still smells the odor there he will continue spraying. There are also meds which helps him not feel stressed you can get them from your vet.Make sure he feels comfortable as possible.

Answer 8

Has something changed in the household? He might be rebelling against something. Or make sure his litter box is clean all the time. He might be spraying, not peeing. If this is the case, he's too old to change. Once they start spraying, they don't stop. This is what I've been told anyway. Good Luck!

Answer 9

I actually have a 2yr previous Chihuahua male additionally and purely went via the comparable element with him(Rudy). i offered a med. sized "stable form" dogs kennel and placed a number of his well-known products in it alongside with blanket toys , bone, issues like that. put in a typical room in the process the day with the door open so as that Rudy could get used to it. He fairly enjoyed it (with the door open). At night I placed Rudy in it while it became into time for mattress. The kennel became into next to our mattress with the aid of the way. He could protest a rapid time yet then finally visit sleep. Now he is going in it with the aid of himself at night. The "element" is that canines won't poop or pee the place they sleep. provide it a attempt.

Answer 10

Nuetering will not change that habit at all. There are 2 main reasons that a cat will act this way. 1. Its litter area is not kept clean enough. Some cats are fussy that way.
2. It could be a sign of a kidney problem.
