Neutered Male Cat Spraying

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I have 4 cats. A while ago I noticed that one of them peed on the floor. Then I found pee on the sofa and on my new t-shirt! It wasn't easy to track down who the culprit was!! One day, while 3 cats, Maya Inka & Zazou, were playing in the garden, I found a new pee-puddle on the floor. This time I knew it had to be our little Snoopy! I tried to pick as much pee as possible with a syringe, put it in a glass and brought it to our vet.
She found out that Snoopy had a bladder infection and some chrystals too.
After 2 rounds of anti-biotics, it is much better!! Once in a while Snoopy still pees on the floor, but it is always when she is in heat. I hope that this problem will be solved too after tomorrow (she is getting spayed!)

Good luck finding out the spraying cat! And, welcome to Pet Talk!!

I think if you keep at it and follow the advice given, you will get to the bottom of this and while you may not slove the rpoblem completely, you could make it managable and something you could live with...

I hope you will hang around and post pictures, tell us stories or at the least, give us updates on this.

Welcome to PT - you will find a lot of people here that will be more than willing to help you out. Also quit a few of us have a cat that pee's - me included.

Yoshi is my baby and my pee-boy. He was born feral, but resuced even before he could walk, so we are not sure if this is part of the cause or not.

Yoshi started peeing when he was about 1 1/2 to 2 years old and he still does it today, he is now 6. I constantly have a Feliway plug going (I don't use the spray) and Yoshi is medicated with Fluoxetine (there are a few different meds for this problem). He gets blood work once a year to make sure this medication does not harm his kidneys & liver (always a down-side to medicating ) But he seems to do well. I still see an occasional spray but nothing like it was before.

Please, please don't put your kitty down for this. I know it is anoying and a pain, but you have to play dective and help find the cause of this. They don't spray because they want to, they do it for a reason, and you have to figure out that reason.

Jen gave a good start on what to do, if you need more help, ask. We have all been through this and are more than willing to help!

Please give us updates, and pictures!
