How can I stop my cats from trying to pee on everything?

have you tried changing their litter brand/added more boxes? sometimes that's it..i found out one of mine was going outside because he didn't want to share with the other cat.

It would help to get your cats spayed and neutered. Then you have to thoroughly clean the areas where they have peed. You need to use an enzime cleaner like Nature's Miracle so that what they smell won't be there. When the areas are totally clean, confine them to a place with food, water and litter boxes. Keep them there until they use the boxes faithfully for 3 days. Then let them out, but supervise them. I hope that solves the problem. Is it possible for there to be another cat outside that is provoking them? What they are doing seems territorial. I tould take they for a thorough check up to rule out any physical problems. Make sure you have more than one litterbox, too. We have neurotic Peaches who pees out of the box, so you have my sympathy.

This is a stress and territorial problem. Getting the male neutered may help, but they are doing it because of inter cat stress. Removing that stress will solve the problem. You don't say how many cats you have though, just that two of them are doing this. Cats do like to have there own space, and so the problem may be caused by the cats feeling that there personal territory is being encroached on.

Have you tried vinegar? I read somewhere that cats and dogs hate the smell of vinegar. It's also a good stain remover, and I believe also a good deodorizer. So there ya have it! A 3 in 1 cleaner!

When cats spray, they are claiming territory. I have 4 cats (indoor/outdoor; 2 females; 2 males -- and there is a story for having 4 cats!) and all have been spayed/neutered. Unfortunately I have one male that will spray once in a while. I know he's going to do that when he starts pacing around a room, usually the living room where my speakers are. I call his name to distract him and then get up so he willl stop. The odor is bad. I use Resolve Triple Action carpet stain remover that neutralizes the odor. You may want to keep an eye on them and watch their behavior when going from room to room and if you notice that they are beginning to lift their tails, spritz a little water on them. Maybe they'll put the two actions together and realize they shouldn't spray. Cats are cats.

cats don't like orange,i used to rub orange peel on the furniture,that stopped the cat doing it,,my male still sprays even though he was done 5 yrs ago,so don't think that neutering is always the answer,most of the time the sprayin will stop,but not always

I found a wonderful bottle of stuff called Nature's Miracle. It is at the local PetCo and it was just great for getting rid of the odor. It also helps keep them from spraying on the area again. Also, wintergreen oil mixed with water and sprayed on the areas that the cats have peed on before does keep them away from that area and keeps the spot being declared as territory. You can find the wintergreen oil at your local health food store. The question is, does your boy have a UTI? I have a boy that developed one and I was having a devil of a time with him spraying until I switched his food and he has stopped the behavior. Also is your little girl spayed? She also could have a UTI (urinary tract infection). What kind of litter are you using? Sometimes the cats will decide that they no longer like the kind of litter you're using and let you know with nasty surprises. When I was having the problem I would clean the area with vinegar then use diluted bleach on it (cats hate the smell of bleach). It isn't always good for the carpet, but if you dilute the bleach down enough yet still have the smell it does some good. Also, baking soda will also dilute the odor of cat pee. It needs to be used when the pee is still wet, but it soaks up the odor and helps eliminate the problem. The only permanent solution is to spay and neuter the cats.

find out the reason for it. sometimes my cat pees on stuff when i forget to clean his litter box. cats need their litter cleaned daily. so, i need to make sure his litter box is filled with dirt and clean always.
