How do I get my cat to stop??
I caught my 7 month old cat attempting to pee on my dirty laundry blankets a few weeks ago. Now I noticed his unpleasant smell on my clothes, also. Why is he doing this? I don't know if he's spraying, because he was squatting when I caught him, and I thought their tail gets stiff and shakes when they spray. Its really annoying me and I need to know how to make him stop.

He is doing it simply to mark you as his territory.There are 3 options to try to stop it, first place some food that is glued to a piece of paper near the blankets because cats typically will not spray or urinate next to where food is, second is to place some of the stay away powder that most pet supply stores have around the area the blankets are at, third is to take a dry washcloth and rub his face especially his cheeks with it for a few minutes then rub the cloth around the area the blankets are at. Cats have glands in their cheek that leave a scent that they can smell but we cant, wiping it with a washcloth and wiping it on the area will place his scent there for him but without the yuck smell. If all else fails, when he starts to do it, spray him with a squirt bottle with water in it. It wont take long for him to get the point. Hope this helps.

Take him to a vet to rule out any medical problems. make sure when you do laundry to use pet stain/ ordor remover to get the smell completly out. and if you use scented litter try unscented. cats can be very picky about whats in their boxes.
