It don't smell like cats spraying does but it is still not very nice
Answers:
Your cats are probably just peeing all over the house.
Cats can have "accidents" for a number of reasons:
1. The cat is distressed. Have you gone on vacation recently? Has someone moved in or out of the house? Has the cat been moved recently? Sometimes the messes are the cat's way of telling you that something is upsetting them.
2. Have you moved the litterbox? If they cannot find the litterbox or the litterbox is in a part of the house where people frequent, the cat may not want to use it.
3. The cats might have some kind of bladder infection that makes it hard for them to control their urine. See a vet to make sure there isn't a medical reason behind their behavior.
4. Have you changed cat litter brands recently? Cats dislike change, and they may be refusing to use a litter that smells different.
I hope I helped!
he's learnt it from other cats in the area.
male cats will do that. They will spray and you cant stop it
If the other cat is female and hasn't been spayed, he may still be reacting to her being on heat.
He could have a urinary tract infection. Cats with a UTI will tend to spray because they associate using the litter box with pain. You need to take him to the vet and see if that couldn't possibly be why he is spraying.
He is marking his territory. He and he also marks to let any females around there area that he is there especially if a female is in heat and i bet he is not neutered. if you neuter he is most likely to stop after the testosteron leaves his system in about 2-3 weeks after the neuter.
Even neutered males will sometimes spray. It could be a territory thing. How many litter boxes do you have? It's recommended that you provide 1 box for each cat plus 1 extra. So, with 2 cats, you should have 3 boxes.
It's also possible that he has a urinary tract infection. You may want to take him to the vet and have him checked out. If he has an infection, he needs to be on antibiotics.
Is he declawed? That can cause this behavior. Scratching is also a marking behavior, and if they can't do that they may spray. That's all I can think of, other than that I don't know.
This same thing happened to my male cat several months after I had him nuetered. Took him to the vet... He had a urinary tract infection. I got him treated and it's never happened since. He's now 11 years old!
The vet explained to me that UTI's are very painful to a cat and they will tend to spray or go in places other than the litter box when they have an infection. I would have him checked out by a vet.
Please try Ultimate Cat Repellent pellets. My cat started spraying after 10 years. Just put a few pellets in atray/dish just out of site but as near to where your cat sprays. It works a real treat. Good Luck
