I have a neutered male cat that is 9 years old. He never "sprays" in the house, until I got my kittens. They are 6 months old (male and female) and I just had them spayed and neutered. My older cat (Rox), plays with and gets along with them, but has suddenly started "marking" his territory again by spraying in the house, especially my daughter's bedroom. Will he stop this once the kittens have been around a little longer? (I've had them 3 months).
He is even protective of them outside, so why is he feeling jealous and spraying! I really don't want to punish him, he is the "alpha" cat of the house, but what should I do?

HUSH: What the hell is your problem? What does my having children have to do with having cats? BTW, I do have children and they are very happy, on the other hand I pity anyone who has to be around a bitter ***** like you.You need to be on meds.

KATIE: What an interesting idea, I would never have thought of that. He was recently at the vet for his yearly check-up and shots, so he does have a clean bill of health.

he could have a urinary infection but most likely he is marking his territory, clean all the areas with a product called urinegone I found it at bed bath and beyond or order it online just google urinegone and then my vet said to introduce new kitties to the alpha use perfume drops on top of all their heads so they all smell the same. I use oils as perfume so I just put a drop on my finger and tapped everykitty on the head, they got used to each other and no more spraying. Spray everything with that spray. It comes with a light that shows you where the urine is. it is great. good luck.

You answered your own question. Your older cat is marking it's territory. Unfortunately you should have thought of that before you brought in kittens. Too bad. Anything you do aside from getting rid of the kittens will be unfair to the older cat.
I sure hope you never have children.
