Why does my fixed female & male cat still spray?
I’ve always been told that if a cat (male or female) get the opportunity to experience “sex” (regardless of pregnancy or not) then he/she will continue to spray even if they are fixed. There is a difference between spraying and peeing. I’ve been told a cat will pee in places other than the litter box if they are weaned from the Mom cat too soon, if they are pissed at you, or if they are unhappy with their litter box for some reason (don’t like the litter your using/don’t like the box/don’t like the location/etc). I’ve experienced a cat that will pee outside of the litter for all of those reasons that go away if you can resolve the problem, with the exception of a kitten being taken from it’s mother too soon. I’ve been told that those cats can’t learn to only use a litter from anyone besides their mother, and we ended up having to get rid of her. Often tough, if you just keep the box clean they will behave.
