Hi...I have a two year old Himalayian stud cat that gives his queens beautiful kittens, but he is a sprayer. I made him stud pants ( diaper in which a pad is placed) that he wears whenever I allow him to run around the house. However, he not only sprays in the pants...but poos in them as well. It does not matter what time of day or night or how long he wears them, he consistantly will poo in them. It is almost like he holds "it" until I put his diaper on him. He is kept in my bathroom, with two litter pans. One has a paper pelleted litter, the other has scoopable litter. I had to put in a second pan as he would pee a puddle (not just a spray) in front of the towel closet door in the bathroom. I used pepper, cayenne pepper, deoderant cat urine sprays especially to stop the smell of urine after thoroughly cleaning. ...nothing worked. Finally I put in the other pan and put his food and water dish in the other spot where he peed . It stopped the peeing somewhat...though not entirely, but he always soaks his pants, as well as pooing in them I am thinking about neutering him, but is there any chance he will stop spraying then? He tries to spray everything in the house but thank heavens his pants catch it all. He also is very agressive to my spayed females and one neutered male.....being good only with his harem. Is there any chance he will calm down after being neutered? He is a lovely friendly cat....but I am getting sick and tired of constantly cleaning up a dirty bum and having to keep him in the bathroom. The vets say he may still spray....has anyone had any experience with neutering a spraying male?? He will spray the loveseat, clothes...basically anything in his path. I am afraid if I neuter him and it does not work, that I will end up putting him out in the barn. That is something I absolutely dread doing...but who would want a cat with these bad habits? Anyone else out there with this problem??

Unfortunatly once a cat starts spraying,neautering wont stop it.Well this is what ive always been told from vets and friends.Thats why people like to get them done as soon as possible,why dont you make him a nice "des res"in the sun in your back garden,gotta be nicer than looking at the bathroom door all day,or you cleaning pooy bums in nappys

Doesn't desertstorm live in Canada or somewhere like that where it would be impossible to house a cat outside in the winter??

Wow those pants are ace!

Hi

I do actually know of a lovely (now) ex stud boy who was neutered at 11 years of age (his owner sadly died) and he was up for rehoming. He was a prolific sprayer as an entire boy. Once spayed he remained in his quarters for about two months before we found a loving home for him. His new owner took him home after buying loads of cleaning stuff ready to tackle the results of the spraying but you know that darling boy has never sprayed since - he is now 13.

Thank you China Blue....you just made my day! He is such a layed back love, that I really think he just might be like the 13 year old you mentioned. Yes I live in Canada, where it is colder than blue blazes in the winter. I do have barn cats....but this guy would have to be caged (The 2 resident cats would run him off if allowed loose) and the barn, though insulated, does chill the cats water at night. Outside penning in the winter is impossible. Yes, he stays in the bathroom, except for when I let him have the run of the house different times through the day. (he will ask when he wants a run.) The bathroom is right off the kitchen so he gets to have lots of company through the day. He also sits in a sunny window in there, and gets a lot of attention. He has a cushion and is content to sleep most of the day. If he is loose too long at a time, he beats the crap out of some of the other cats....not to mention pooing in his drawers. I think I will soon neuter him. He just might turn into a big couch potato like his 3 sons. If that other spraying stud quit at 11 years of age...it is possible this guy might quit as well. What breed was that guy? This fellow is only 2 years old....and is such a layed back kitty. He is simply georgeous cat.
