How can you get your cat to quit pissing on your furniture?

Question

He has been neutered and declawed. Any sugestions on how to ge the smell out of furniture and clothing?

Answer 1

neutering doesn't always prevent spraying and if you neuter the cat after he has already started spraying then the behavior will still continue-two things need to happen for him to stop
1) he needs to be trained not to spray; this should be done without anger, yelling, or physical violence-cats do not respond well to being spanked or yelled at and this will only make the behavior worsen. I would try either giving him rewards for not spraying or squirting water at him and firmly saying "no" whenever he is about to. Also never rub his nose in it and never punish him for spraying unless you catch him in the act.
2.) there are alot of great products out there to help remove the odor from your furniture-it is a hard odor to remove and if he can still smell his urine on something then he will still think it's ok to spray

I did a search on petsmart.com for such products and this is what came up:
http://www.petsmart.com/global/search/search_results.jsp
if you see something you might like then click on the product and read the product review written by other consumers who've bought and tried that product-this will help you find a product that works instead of trying a bunch without knowing what others who used it had to say about it
also, petvideo.com has two short informational videos on cat's spraying that you might find interesting, here's the link for that:

good luck

Answer 2

Take your kitty to the vet, to start with. Inappropriate elimination can be a sign that something is wrong. My cat used to do it when she had a UTI or when her IBD was flaring.

If your cat gets a clean bill of health, the next thing to do is make sure that your litter box is clean, and that you're using a litter that doesn't contain perfumes, as that can sometimes chase cats away from the litter box. Make sure you have at least one litter box per floor - you may need to have one per major area of the house, even. Definitely, if you have more than one cat, you should have more than one litter box available on every floor.

Finally, if your cat has been turned off the litter box because it got too stinky or because he was in pain when he used it, you might use something like Feliway, which can help de-stress cats and make them interested in using the litter box again.

Obviously, reward when he does it right.

And there are products you can get at the pet store that will remove the smell of cat pee from your furniture. You should shampoo the areas he's used thoroughly, then spray with the product, so that he doesn't think of that area as a place to "use" again.

Answer 3

Had the same problem, vet said i desexed him late at 12 months......put a bowl of his food (dry) near the places he most of sprays, a cat most likely does not pee where it eats, this should work, i know i tried it.

Answer 4

Take it the vet and trade it for a dog.
