Yes I agree Bonnie could be part of the problem but she might not be. You could rehome several beloved cats and still not pin point the cause.Originally posted by jenluckenbach
But I still have Bonnie and she is another possible cause for his dismay. (as she WAS the first foster.......and SHE is a strange cat to Sterling..............and the fosters were not even downstairs when Sterling sprayed on Thursday)
After all Sterling will know the foster cats are upstairs on his property and that is upsetting to him. Maybe as he couldn't spay upstairs so he tried his best to mark downstairs ? My guess anyway.
I suggested waiting until the fosters have gone and temporily refusing any more to see if this help Sterling. As this will also be the least upsetting for you, after all you expect the fosters to be rehomed.
I reckon he'll get used to Bonnie but the strange cats on the 2nd & 3rd floor is too much for him. As scent is the factor for cats, the smell of the strange cats on you, might be enough to set him off. He knows they are up there if he sees them or not.
Cat are very aware of scent, my cats spit at the handbag, I took to a friends house and her cats marked it by rubbing cheeks across it. Cats !!!
