Unfortunetly, it is very common with indoor only cats. It is a problem that can be stopped.
Most people think that spraying is a litter box issue. Actually it is a territory marking thing.
Cats use their urine like people use signs saying keep out.
Every cat’s urine is different, sort of like fingerprints on people.
Also another reason for your male cat spraying is for female cats in heat. Female cats in heat will seek out a sprayed area. It’s the Male’s way of saying “Here I am come find me.”
If you own a cat that freely goes both outdoors and indoors.
More often then not, your cat will spray outdoors.
The main issue with spraying is the smell is terrible to people, even if it is accepted by other cats.
If you have an indoor cat that sprays. You have a few options.
One of the most effective ways to stop your cat from spraying is to have him fixed.
