  Some often spray urine on walls, clothes, refrigerators, tape recorders, bookshelves, owner’s bed, kitchen utensils, and other places. This is a kind of "territorial marking" behavior by cats. This behavior is more severe in unneutered cats than in neutered ones. To correct this abnormal behavior, the following measures can be taken:

  1. Have a veterinarian neuter the cat. After neutering, the spraying behavior can be eliminated or significantly reduced. In addition, neutering can prevent normal cats from developing spraying behavior.

  2. Feed the cat at the spots where it sprays urine. Cats are generally clean animals and usually do not spray urine around their feeding areas. Therefore, this method can correct abnormal spraying behavior.

  3. Place several mousetraps upside down at the spots where the cat sprays urine.

  4. Use a water spray to punish the abnormal behavior. Whenever the owner finds the cat spraying urine, immediately spray water on the cat. Over time, this can correct the abnormal behavior.

  5. Inject progesterone. Medroxyprogesterone acetate can be used subcutaneously or intramuscularly, once a day, 10-20 mg per kilogram of body weight each time, continuously for one month. (Source:PetsZone)
