My 8 mo. old cat is not nuetured and urine marking!!!! Will he stop if he's nuetured??

Question

I'm getting him nuetured in 2 days and the vet said that it might not solve the problem of peeing all over the place. Has anyone else had this problem?? Please let me know if he will stop peeing in laundry baskets and my bed, or else I will have to get rid of him, regretably....I'm so sad.

Answer 1

:-/ thats so tough. but not to worry! i have a wonderful little boy kitty who used to pee ALL over my house. We got him neutered and he stopped doing that within the next week or so maybe two. It works in most cases and it stopped my little guy! I hope it does the same for yours! I'd hate for you to have to get rid of him :-/ Good luck! :)

p.s. there may be some other ways you can train him not to do that in case neutering doesn't work. like using a spray bottle to deter him from doing that. sites like the one below can help with that :)

There are several things here. First, not being neutered he may be spraying. That's marking. Peeing in the laundry basket full of clothes............ I hate to say it, but may not stop. My grandson's cat uses the laundry whenever the litter box is not clean enough for her. Your cat may be one that needs his litter cleaned more often than you do now. Another factor may be if had pain at anytime while using the litter box, he may associate the box with the pain. You might try moving the box, if possible, to a different location, preferably near where he likes to pee now. If he likes the laundry room, try placing it there for a bit. Litter itself could be the issue. If you changed litter according to what was on sale, he may not like certain brands. You will need to get an enzyme based spray/cleaner to clean anyplace he has sprayed or urinated before being neutered, to remove the odor. It will take a bit for him to lose the need to spray and mark his territory, so please give him a few weeks after fixing him. Having to surrender a cat is never a happy thing to do. If you must, please try to find a cat rescue or a no kill association to surrender him to and make sure they know he has been fixed. good luck and God bless

it may stop it, but it probably won't. Wherever he peed will smell like pee- and that will be enough to make him go there again. Cleaning doesn't really work- there is always either that scent or the sight of that area that made him do it there in the first place. Plus, it is a habit already- nuetering my male (as early as possible) did not get him to quit.
There is something you can do that worked for me on my male cat- Some may consider it cruel, but it is the only thing that worked- either this or he had to go to the humane society. I tied him up on a short leash by his litter box (and food and water) in some unused part of the house (a small room would do as well). When he peed somewhere, I stuck his face in it- yelling at him, and scruffed him (support the butt) and put him in his litterbox, as well as tied him up on the short leash next to his box. He would grow so miserable and bored in the 5-7 days I would leave him tied up (no social contact at all, except when checking food and water 1x a day)- that was enough punishment for him that after 2 times of this, he quit peeing around the house.
It is pretty extreme, but like I said, the only thing that would allow me to keep my cat.

good luck

Answer 5

Neutering helps in most cases but there are a few cats that will continue to spray. It is best to neuter them before they begin to spray and get into the habit.

Keep in mind he may still spray for a period of time after the surgery until the male hormones subside. So give it some time to work before you make any decisions.

In the meantime, there is a product called Urine-off that I get from my vet but is available online that gets rid of the cat pee smell very effectively - way better than anything in the pet store or grocery store.

Good luck.

Answer 6

stable for you. i might recommend you do take him to a vet to be checked over and in step with possibility inoculated if he hasn't been. Do confirm you employ a suited cat-service once you are attempting this. confident, he may be neutered, it truly is an extremely stable concept certainly besides, it will stop him wandering off in seek of the ladies and in step with possibility being knocked down - to not point out the spraying challenge. For male cats it truly is a small technique and he will heal very immediately. Cats have a extraordinary therapeutic velocity. It won't destroy his happiness, he will in simple terms be slightly positioned out at being boxed up and carted off to a wierd-smelling place and prodded by means of a stranger. while he comes domicile he will in all possibility in simple terms be happy to be returned and extremely in all possibility choose a sleep. Then he may be slightly careful approximately leaping around for an afternoon or 2, then it truly is throughout.

Aloha,
It might be a huge help to get him neutered sweetheart. It helped me with my handsome baby boy! He was a naughty boy, he would go and pee on men he didn't like! lol After he was neutered he stopped the peeing all over and from then on just peed inside the cat box. But there was one major problem that happened afterwords, I found out that a lot of male cats get major urine problems after they have them neutered. So you might want to really check into that. If your old enough and have time, you can work with your cat and teach him to be good. As everyone can tell by your email that you don't want to get rid of your pussy cat!! Good luck sweetheart with your job ahead of you! I have faith in you and the kitty!

Answer 8

I just had this problem with our kitten. The neutering helped a LOT, the other thing to do AFTER the neuter is to spray the surfaces he was tagging with urine gone r febreeze.

He was spraying, marking his territory. This is a mating and ownership deal with him, he needs to be neutered or let outside. Spraying the surfaces with urine gone or any scent killer will discourage him from doing it again after the neuter.

Just watch him VERY closely after the neuter and don't let him lick himself too much. A little is OK, but if he gets red and raw from it, call your vet, he may need a "lampshade" collar to protect him from himself

Answer 9

The sooner you get him neutered the better chance that this behavior will stop. Be sure to pick up and wash all items he is used to peeing on so that he doesn't have that familiar smell whe he retuens from the vet, I recently went through this with my "Tigger'--he would stop and pee wherever he was--even on my bed, but the minute I brought him back from the surgery this never happened again.

Answer 10

YES and no , he ll cut down the smell will be a lot less but he continue to mark youll need to get a spray bottle and when you see him marking spary him he ll soon quit . But do get him fixed now it only gets worse ,also you mat have a PICKY LITTER BOX CAT keep it clean and if you have more than one cat set up more boxes he might not like useing after another cat

Answer 11

Definitely get him neutered. The only way to know if it'll stop the behavior, is to do it, and wait a week or so (give some time for the leftover testosterone to pass.)

If it doesn't, you can see if you can find a nice & safe ranch/farm that could adjust him to outdoor life, as a barn cat (since finding someone to accept an indoor cat that sprays, is unlikely).
