Miranda, sounds like it is time for a vet visit. Here is some info:

Regarding the water spray advice, that is not considered appropriate for normal training by any reputable behaviorist than I know of. In fact Catlovr you are lucky Sammy doesn't piss under the beds and behind the furniture with that kind of misappplied discipline. I certainly don't recommend anyone else use such a method.

Female cats are spayed, male cats are neutered. If a female cat is allowed to go into heat prior to being spayed (and as a result may pee or spray or spot in the house) this greatly increases their future risk of mammary cancer.
