Cat Spraying: How To Deal With It

In the past half-decade, cat-spraying difficulties have become much more regularly recognized. In some instances, spraying is a sign your feline is ill. Therefore, a medical professional needs to be consulted if there is any question whether the root cause is physical or mental. If this is a behavioral issue, the root is fairly common despite the big headaches it can give humans.

One of the major problems that owners of male cats face is spraying. One way to combat the problem is to have your cat neutered. This should stop most male cats from spraying, especially in the home, but the costs associated with neutering prevent some owners from being able to "fix" their cats.

Some people believe that a medical procedure such as neutering a cat is inhumane. Some people feel their pets should not be forced to undergo to what they consider cruel treatment. For people that feel neutering would hurt their cat or keep them from breeding for income or to have more cuddly baby kittens there are options that may be better suited for them in lieu of having their kittens neutered.

On the other side of the problem are the people that feel that they can not neuter their male cats due to the fact that they have other issues that prevent them from doing so. One such instance would be the people that are intending on breeding their kittens when they become cats.

This also holds true for people that are going to use their cats to breed with another person's female cats. It is in these circumstances that you must consider behavioral modifications.

When you have situations that are prohibiting you from being able to neuter your cat and thus to prevent the cat from spraying all over your house, other techniques need to be utilized in order to prevent them from spraying inside your house. The spraying can get ridiculous when it is all over your furniture, clothes, and your rugs and carpets. This does not even mention the smell and the fact that the stains can be really gross looking.
