There are many ways to keep a cat from urinating in the same area again and again. The main reason they return the same spot is that they have put their sent there. As with Dogs they will recognise their own sent and return to that spot again and again. The best way to stop this behaviour is to remove their sent from the area and replace it with one that will repel the cat. There are many ways to repel a cat, here are just a few: * black pepper * blood meal fertilizer * catnip * cinnamon * citrus peels * citrus spray * cocoa bean shells * coffee grounds -fresh & unbrewed * essence of orange * essence of lemon or lime (citrus essential oils) * garlic cloves * lavender * pinecones * red wine * vinegar

If none of these work, it is also possible to teach your cat not to return to a certain area by squirting a little water near them when they look like they are going to urinate in the area. Only use a little water and do not aim for the cat's face, or fire repeatedly. It is easier to use a water pistol or a garden squirter to gain the desired effect.

How do you stop your puppy from chewing on the carpet?

Bitter apple spray worked well for us, but it was one or two specific areas of the carpet. It may not be a feasible solution if it is a very large area that's being chewed on. Should be able to find it at any pet store and places like Wal-Mart and Target.

How can you train a 4 year old cat that you got two months who was using the litter box not to poop in the same spot on the carpet?

Never move the litter box if possible. Some cats are just lazy and go where they want or may smell an old pee spot and decide to mark it again. When your cat does this take a clean spray bottle with cold water and give her a good squirt with it and it shouldn't take long to stop her from doing this. The problem is they are so sneaky and you don't always see them do this. Every time you see a pee spot scold the cat 'Shame!' Then carry her to the litter box. Trust me ... it's a Mexican stand-off, but if you persist you will win. Your pets should have a general physical by your vets once a year so it may be a good idea to talk to the vet about it and be sure there are no urinary tract or bladder problems. If there is there are medications for it.


When does a cat stop being in heat?
