I have a cat which keeps marking(spraying) in same place.?

Urine spraying in cats is used to mark territory, to attract mates, or to react to an upsetting situation, such as other animals in the vicinity, changes in the home environment, or disputes with housemates. Although intact male cats are more likely to spray, neutered males and spayed female cats also may mark with urine. The following actions should be considered:

If the cat is intact, contact a veterinarian to discuss neutering. Many cats will stop spraying if they are neutered.

Make the areas where the cat has sprayed aversive by covering the surface with cat-repellant substances.

If you can try to identify and remove the upsetting stimulus.

When feeling insecure, a cat attempts to assert control over his or her environment by aggressively marking territory with the comforting familiarity of personal scent.

Getting him fixed might solve the problem. He should have been fixed before he started spraying, many vets will neuter cats at about 2 months now I believe.

Once they've been neutered, some male cats will stop spraying. Others won't. He certainly won't stop spraying until you get him fixed.

Spraying is a natural behavior of a fertile cat - getting him fixed will most probably cause him to stop. However, now that he has established the habit already, it may be too late. Cats should be neutered or altered as early as possible to prevent the spraying behavior.

Good luck.

I do recommend that you get your cat fixed, for his sake and yours, but it is not likely to fix your problem. Your local ASPCA / Humane Society can help will either a free clinic or a referral to a discounted procedure.

I have had many cats and most of them were toms. I had all my toms neutered, and early on. Most veterinarians will tell you that once a tom starts marking his territory, it has acquired a learned habit and it not likely to stop. One thing that did work for my sister's cats (who were also both neutered) when they moved into a new neighborhood with other toms was birth-control pills and valium (diazapam). The birth-control pills counter-acted the feline testosterone so that they di not feel so aggressive to the other cats and the diazapam lowered their anxiety of other toms in their perceived territory. Your vet can help here. Good luck.

You must get him fixed ASAP. Its a behavior that only increases with time. After he is neutered you may have to correct him a few times but it will be much easier to stop him. Male cats need to be fixed before a year if you don't want to deal with the marking. Good luck!

Getting him de-sexed will fix this problem. Male cats do this to mark their territory and to warn off other toms.

He may still do it for a short while after you have had him 'fixed', but as his hormones settle down the problem will go away.

As for the smell, apply a mixture of warm water and lemon juice, dry with a hair dryer (cats don't like this smell and he may stop doing it on the places where you spray).

Hope this helps.

We had a cat like that. He would even spray your leg! I asked the vet if getting him fixed would stop him from doing it, and they said that now that he's started he probably won't stop.

Make sure the litter box stays clean. Put in a place out of the way preferably in the bathroom. They like to be hidden and away from high noise areas.

I would try putting a liter box were he always sprays.

I think you waited too long to have him neutered. You can ask your vet but I think he will keep marking his territory.
