Neutering has absolutely nothing to do with it. The cat is simply marking its territory. When cats spray, they leave a scent that warns approachers that the spray site is his property. To stop it, buy a cat pheromone and plug it in (it's like an air freshener you plug into an outlet) where he frequently sprays. He may be spraying becuase he is re-enforcing his claim because of a threat, like a dog, child, or frequent trespasser. The pheromone will calm him down when he comes near, and may not spray. Aslo, place more litter boxes throughout the house in areas that are private, uninterrupted, quiet and easily accessable. Show him these places and he might use them. Hope this helps!

∙ 16y agoHi, i have the same problem my cat sprays up walls near catflap, I have been told to get a 'feliway plug' in that keeps cats happy. And a 'feliway spray' to spray where the cat has sprayed on wall. First you must wash wall with washing powder and water to get rid of smell or they will do it again. My cat is male and was neutered at 8 months old, hes 3 years old now and hes still spraying up walls. I think heres worried about others cats coming in, that why hes doing. I will try this feliway stuff, lets hope it works. Hi, i have the same problem my cat sprays up walls near catflap, I have been told to get a 'feliway plug' in that keeps cats happy.

∙ 14y agoIf your cat is spayed it should be unable to spray. Sometiafter spaying your cat may be able to spray for a week or two but once it loses all its male hormones it will not be able to anymore

∙ 14y agoNo, it can't. Spraying is due to stress, probably due to just moving, a new baby or a new animal. To stop it from spraying, try to reduce the cat's stress level.

∙ 12y agoneuter it. Almost all un-neutered male cats spray to mark territory. Some neutered males will also spray, but it's a lot less common.

Is having a pet rabbit indoors unhealthy because of its urine feces and spraying can spaying or neutering a rabbit stop it from spraying is rabbit fur dangerous to humans to inhale or ingest?
Rabbits are no more harmful to human beings than cats are PLUS rabbits do not carry any diseases that can be transferred to humans. If done in time, just like with cats, neutering will prevent a male rabbit from spraying. However, just like cats, if a male rabbit has started spraying having him neutered will stop the spraying in 50% of the cases.
Can a male cat spray because a female dog is in heat in the house?
It is very unlikely he is spraying specifically because your dog is on heat. However, any stressful factors can cause cats to spray, and the dog's mood changes and unusual smells may be causing the spraying behaviour. Entire male cats are very likely to spray for no specific reason, and tom cats should always be neutered. A vet can give you advice on neutering, and on products or environmental changes to help reduce spraying.
Do cats in the wild get spayed or neutered?

How does neutering your cat help?

Can 7 month old cats have kittens?

Why do cats spray?
A cat spraying is an instinct that male cats have to mark their territory. Whatever they're spraying on, it means "this is mine". There are some deterrents available at your local pet store to prevent this. Spraying is a part of communication among cats, helping to define boundaries and tell other cats whose area is whose. It is also a way of attracting a mate.
