Cat Spraying All Around the House?

Cats are much more trainable than many owners realize and if behavior problems do arise they can often be dealt with quite simply so long as you take the time to see the world from your cats point of view.

Cats of both sexes sometimes spray when they feel insecure. By establishing a sense of their own smell their confidence is boosted.

Spraying can become a problem if you cat starts to spray furniture and curtains. The first thing to look at is the reasons why cats spray .Both sexes spray and neutered males are just as likely to spray as un-neutered. Normally cats do not spray indoors as they feel secure and there is no need to protect their territory. When several share a house they may feel the need to mark their territory. If the spraying has suddenly started look for some changes in the house hold that could have caused stress.

For some cats this could be the installation of a cat flap. This blurs the distinction between the indoors and outdoors and the cat needs to mark its smell.

Some owners spray pepper or chili or wipe the areas with vinegar but this does not really work. You can try to place a tray of marbles below the favourite spraying places but if you cat is determined he will just stand further away.A good idea that can work is to put a sheet of household foil around the spot as cats do not like the sound of urine hitting the foil.

The psychological approach may be more successful.

If you have more than two cats try giving each a separate place to sleep in. If a neighbour's cat is always lurking outside then chase it away.if you have installed a cat flap try boarding it up and see if the behavior stops.

In difficult cases confine the cat to one room and make sure it has a cosy bed under a radiator and its toys. Make sure you do not leave it for too long and its sense of security will increase. as you see the situation improve let is use more rooms of the house and keep an eye on it. Lastly if none of these strategies work then see your vet about hormone treatment.

How the Experts Solve Cat House Soiling and Cat Spraying - Part 1

So, what are the solutions for cat house soiling or spraying? If your cat refuses to use the litter box, there are several ways to address the problem. First, make sure that every cat in the house has his own litter box. The boxes should be separated far enough from each other so that each cat has a sense of privacy.

If your other cats are using their boxed but one is not, try moving the cat's box to a different room. Other cats in the house may be bullying him when he is trying to use the box, and separating them should solve this problem.

If you have recently switched to a different brand of litter, your cat may not like the scent, type, or feel of it on his paws. This can cause him to avoid using the box. Switching back to the old brand should return everything to normal.

Some cats use the bathtub as their own personal litter box. They may choose to do this because they do not like the litter in the box, because the box is dirty, or because it is the wrong size. To prevent this, leave an inch of water at the bottom of the tub. This will dissuade your cat from using it. Place a clean litter box next to it and your cat will get the idea of where he should go. Close the bathroom door to prevent him from going in, and leave a litter box in front of it or close by. This way, when he wants to use the bathroom, he will find a litter box waiting for him.

If your cat has soiled in another area, clean the area thoroughly with a product designed to remove pet stains. Cats can smell where they have eliminated before and will return to the same spot. If your cat keeps returning to this area, make that spot unappealing. Place wide strips of plastic wrap, double sided tape or aluminum foil there. Cats do not like the feel of it on their feet and will avoid it. Pet supply stores also sell nontoxic cat repellent that can be used to dissuade them from returning to the same place.
