CATS SPRAYING

Spray or mark their territory with urine, is a natural behavior for cats both males and females. Not to be confused with normal urination outside the litter box. Spraying usually involves only a small amount of urine on the walls, floor, furniture, or occasionally the owner's bed or clothing. A trail of urine on the floor, the cat was standing on the spray does not squat to urinate. Since the frequency of occurrence is related to levels of sex hormones and the state, the problem can be reduced or eliminated by castration of the cat. However, even neutered cats spray from time to time, if a territorial pattern set has been disrupted by moving to a new home, it prohibits a space previously allowed, or by adding a new cat into the family. You can discourage cats from spraying in several ways. You should thoroughly clean the area with an enzyme product specifically designed to eliminate pet odors. This will help keep your cat back to the same area. You can also use pheromones to lure your cat into thinking your cat's territory is already marked. To do this, simply rub a soft cloth between your cat's eye and ear. Wipe the stained area repeatedly for several weeks. This tells your cat that this is a nice area and reduces the need for them to dial the area. Remember this is only useful for marking no urinating outside the litter box. You can also place a scratching post where your cat normally marks so that the cat is marked with the smell of their supports and not the urine. You can also leave some food for your cat in areas where the cat leaves. This helps for two reasons. First, the smell of food has a calming effect on the cat making it less likely to spray. Secondly, cats do not spray where food often.
