I got my cat nuetered and usually that stops cats from peeing everywhere but my cat still does it. Any suggestions on how to get him to use the cat box?

we had this problem i sprayed where she was going to pee with some citrus spray and watched where she was doing her pee and i moved the litter tray there we have had no more incidents at all.
also cats like to be private they dint like to be seen try a litter tray that is covered over. they are also good.

Whoever told you neutering a cat will stop it from peeing everywhere is wrong. Has nothing to do with it. First and most obvious - is his litter box clean? Cats are very clean animals and won't go into a box that isn't clean. Meaning, at the very least it needs to be changed once a week, and the poop should be scooped out daily. What kind of litter do you use? It may not like the litter.
Is he a kitten and I'm assuming you showed him where the litter box was? They usually just need to be shown one time and are good to go, as it were! Is the box in a place he can easily access it and is it a quiet place (like us, cats like their privacy when doing their stuff)
The second thing is, as somebody said already, a urinary infection. That's a pretty common reason why they won't pee in the box. He'll need to see the vet about that.
Other things are, is he mad at you for anything? Leaving him alone, treating him badly, bringing somebody into the house they don't like or that treats them mean (like a new boyfriend/girlfriend)? Is your kitty stressed about something - somebody not being nice to him, you brought another cat into the home or a dog?
Think of your cat as a human - then you'll understand them a lot better! 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...

Check out his cat box. If you aren't keeping it clean enough he may pee else where. Cats noses are 100 times more sensitive than ours. If you think it smells, he really think it smells. Hey may not like the type of cat litter either. YOu may want to try putting him in the bathroom with cat box food and water. Get him used to using it again. Then let him out. Some forms of stress will cause them to pee also. Make sure he isn't sick too, some cats mark when they are sick. He may be doing it because of other cats too. /trying to say he is boss . I have found that Zero odor works the best on the smell. I had a cat who was peeing by the box..aggravating. I started cleaning the box every day and now she is using it just fine. But I have to scoop everyday and i bought the zero odor and treated it where she had peed and it seemed to help..zeroodor.com
They will also pee if another cat has peed there before...

you need to provide more info - is there another cat? What are the ages? Were there animals in the place before you moved in? Is it an indoor cat? Does it have Feline Urinary Syndrome? How long did it pee eerywhere before you got him neutered? Are there females close by, in heat or not? Is there a female in heat within a mile (well, maybe not a mile!)? Before you repost, go to the book store or library and read this or another holistic vet book [1] Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat by Martin Goldstein D.V.M.

Go to petco.com or drsfostersmith.com and order Dumb Cat. Spray it on the urine spots and let it work. It will get rid of the urine, smells etc. The only product that can work so don't waste your time with crap like Nature's Miracle etc. It has never worked nor can it work based on whats inside its bottle. The likely cause is scent confusion. Go to poop-off.com and read in the FAQ's about cats not using the litterbox.

Maybe you can try a puppy pad, by itself or in the litter box for a while. Or maybe your kitty has a bladder infection or something too. I wouldn't hesitate to bring it in to the vet to get it looked at.

Every time he pee's give him a small cloth and a tiny bowl of water and make him clean it up...

I'll resist the temptation because I know you would be offended. I'm not a cat person. Good luck.

well hopefully you have two cats or less or you may have a problem. Lock him in a crate with a box, until he gets used to using it.
