What is the best way to stop a male cat from spraying?
Hi there…in all honesty, the only way to cease the spraying behaviour it to have the male cat neutered. He’s doing what comes instinctly as an intact male who’s hormone’s are raging and spraying is a way to mark his territory to tell competitive cats that these girls are mine, etc. It’s important to have him neutered as soon as possible because later it can become habitual and more difficult to stop the instinctual behaviour long after a neuter. More on feline neuters: http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_neu… Most shelters worldwide will perform low fee and sometimes free neutering to qualifying recipients. If you are located in the USA consider ringing 1-800-SPAY USA http://spayusa.org to locate the closest shelter to arrange for an appointment.
