My stud cat is an absolute buggar for spraying. I keep him in the bathroom, unless he has on his stud pants. He refuses to pee in his litter...he backs up and pees a puddle (not just a spray) on the floor infront of the door of my towel closet (in the bathroom). I put newspapers down as this helps with the mess and odor. I have sprayed with everything and it just does not work. I put his litter pan in that spot and he peed beside it! I think I will put his food and water dish there to see what will happen?? I have scolded him to no avail. When he is loose with his pants on, he pees in them and also poops! Then I have to clean him up when I feel like choking him. I have picked out an unrelated flame point boy kitten from a breeder friend to replace him. I am definitly going to end up neutering the sprayer....but will this stop him from peeing and spraying where he shouldn't? The vet says he may keep spraying but that it won't smell so bad....but it will still be wet!! Am I throwing my money away neutering him?? As for my females spraying, one will when she is in heat...only it is more like a puddle on my couch of all places. Once she is bred she is fine. My himalayians do not fight ever, except an occasional cuff from the male...and that is always directed toward the spayed dsh's...never his "girls" or their kittens. However I have a female spayed Tonkinese who will start fights with everyone, especially those in heat. So I am thinking maybe some breeds are more apt to fight?? I would appreciate what you all think about neutering mystud....
