Males will start to become territorial and seek mates from about 6 months onward. Nine months seems to be the number most usually stated for this activity and if the cat is not neutered by then he will be spraying his territory to warn off other contenders.
Spaying of your pet cat should be done at or before 6 months old.
If they are not fixed they will.
Answer: Only male cats spray so you won't have any trouble with your female cat.Answer:Actually, both genders will, and do, spray. An intact (not neutered) female cat usually doesn't spray as much as an intact male, but they will spray to advertise themselves to any passing male that they are on heat and ready to mate.If your cat is spayed, and hasn't got any history of spraying, then it is very unlikely that she will spray at all.
Male cat's spray but a female cat will urinate on furniture. If you get them fixed they won't spray. Make sure their litter box is clean. Spray your furniture with orange or lemon scent cat's can't stand that scent.
Male cats spray to mark territory, the cat has just claimed your son as his property and is telling other male cats to stay away. In other words the cat just posted a "private property no trespassing" sign in cat language.
A female cat, just like a male cat, can and will spray when on heat, or feel their territory is being threatened. They spray very strong-smelling urine to communicate with other cats in the area.
When cats spray, they are spraying urine. They aim it at a vertical surface for the purpose of marking. A diluted vinegar solution will usually neutralize the scent (although it will leave a vinegar smell instead). You can also buy enzyme type cleaners that remove the smell.
Yes. Spraying is a way of marking territory, and both male and female cats are very territorial. Except when a female is in heat, a male cat considers her no more than another intruder on his hunting grounds, and will spray to mark his turf.
I thought only male cats spray... never heard of a female cat do it! in fact they don't. I think your dreaming!
yes it will b/c it will show that he marks his territtory i had a cat that wasn't nutured and it used to spray all over the place so i got it nutured and then it stop so i recommende that u nuture it
Male cats spray as they are more territorial than uneutured male cats. Also I think it may have something to do with attracting a mate. However, some neutered males will still spray if neutered later in life, mainly because it is now "habit". You might need to teach the cat that spraying is not acceptable.
It's possible that another cat is entering his territory, making him feel threatened - if he smells that another cat has been in his space, he will spray to re-establish "ownership". Ask your vet for advice.
It is smally possible if the male cat senses that your cat (if you have one.) has sprayed the area, marking his or her terroriory, then he will back off. But if you have no cat, or just a dog(s), then he will spray the area, letting other cats know, that he had been there and had claimed it as his.
