How can you stop male cats from spraying around your front door of your home?

Answer 1

This is an act of defining his territory , you might want to check if there are any male or female cats wondering outside the house , their presence might be the cause. Also I read from somewhere that when neutering wasn't performed satisfactorily, they may still retain the trait of unneutered (same with spaying). If there are some tissues left over or something, that can cause them act as if they aren't neutered. But most likely the cat's feeling some outdoor cat around the house and being defensive.

Answer 2

There is not a fool proof way to stop your unneutered cat from spraying, even if you decide to neuter your cat they may still spray. Most vets advise that you neuter themm early before this behavior fully develops. There are also products available at pet stores designed to deter your cat if he has a particular spots(s) that he sprays.

Answer 3

A couple of reasons why your neutered cat is spraying is because there is still some testicular tissue left over, or he was neutered too late. Cats need to be neutered before they reach sexual maturity at six months old.

One answer: Let your cat outside. It's an awful thing to do, but spraying is worse. Typically, he'll do it outside.

Another way is to clean the sprayed surfaces with washing powder, or a special spray that will dissolve the ammonia (this is undetectable by humans, but helps a cat find his or her way back to the spot). Afterwards, you can try applying a strongly-scented citrus spray or liquid on these surfaces. You can get these from most pet stores.

Answer 4

Neutering is the most effective way to prevent male cats from spraying. Additionally, you can create a deterrent by using outdoor motion sensor devices or citrus scents around the front door to discourage the behavior. Ensuring the area is clean and free of any previous spraying marks can also help deter further spraying.

You'll need to get him fixed.
