We had to move from our old house (our fixed 3 yo male cat urinated/sprayed in) in Aug. & it was in my inlaws garage Aug. to mid Nov. When we moved into our new house & brought the cat here he didn’t do it anymore. The vet told me that putting it in a small room to punish it may work, so I was thinking maybe the garage did the trick. Now it is back to its old ways after a few weeks. It has urinated on our air mattress in spare bedroom, a plastic floor protector by our back door, a comforter when I was sleeping in bed, & in other spots that we cannot find, but can smell. This morning I got up & it had urinated on our leather couch. I put it in our bathroom with the litter box, food/water & I am leaving it there for a day because I am so mad at him. I love pets & I don’t want to have to get rid of him. Anyone have any solutions that REALLY WORK to change this habit? HE IS FIXED, but when I hold/pet him his reproductive organ comes out & he squirts – is this right if he’s fixed?
A solution that works for male cats urinating/spraying in our new house? I don't want to get rid of our pet!

Getting The Best Dog Bed
If you own a dog, especially an older one, getting a good dog bed is a really great gift to give your beloved pet. The need a good place to rest and sleep just like us. After all, you wouldn't want to bed down in an uncomfortable mattress or sleep on a hard surface all night.
Sleeping on the floor or even on a bad or uneven bed isn't the best thing for a dog to do. As they get older it becomes even more important that they have a really good dog bed to sleep in.
The other reason to get a dog bed is, of course, to keep them off of yours or off of the best couch in the house. If you don't want them all over your furniture, get them a comfortable bed of their own that they will love and use for a long time.
From the simplest dog beds to the more elaborate types, there are many to choose from. Some are more or less like large bean bags, some are donuts or round pet beds. There are also bolster dog beds, which have sort of a pillow going all around the outer edge of the bed. Dogs like to use this as a pillow for their head while they sleep. Then there is the orthopedic dog bed and memory foam beds, which are among the best you can get.
There are also outdoor dog beds which are made for outdoor areas like the back porch and there are also heated dog beds. These are great for dogs, especially during the cold winter months. Even when you have the heat in the house cranked up, the floor can sometimes stay cold and it's not good for your dogs bones and joints. A heated dog bed will keep your canine pal comfy and warm the whole time like a warm blanket.
Another option you may want to look into is getting a waterproof dog bed. We have all taken our dog out for a walk when it is raining and wet outside. Whether we want to or not, we have to go out on those miserable days when the rain is pouring and we both get soaked. After a good towel dry, dogs still have some moisture left on their coat and skin. The nice part about a waterproof dog bed is that your dog can lay on this type of pet bed without getting it soaked on the inside where the water stays put. These beds are made for this so they do not get ruined every time your water soaked pooch rests on them. For those dogs that prefer to stay out on the porch or outside near their kennel or dog house, they are much happier on a waterproof bed than a conventional one that soaks up the water. It's not only a comfortable resting spot for sleeping and lying down, but it will last longer too.
Not all dog beds are the same just as not all dogs age the same. When your dog gets older, he or she will most likely develop the same types of aches and pains due to joint problems that humans do. When your dog starts to slow down due to joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, the best thing you can do is to look into getting them a memory foam dog bed.
As soon as your are aware that you dog is suffering from orthopedic issues, the floor is simply not a good place for them to sleep. Even a conventional dog bed just will not do. The even balance of a dog's weight is more important at this stage of their life than at any time before. A bumpy or uneven bed is not good for the existing joint pain and can actually worsen the dog's problems over time.

Umm. This is unsusual . Are you sure he is neutered? Meaning- his testicles have been taken out? I’m trying to think of a way to solve that…..
Males that are fixed dont spray. Its impossible. Im sorry I dont know how I can help. Maybe you should ask an animal behavioursit or a cat behaviourist.
May God be with you and that this problem is resolved…
P.S: Does he spray vertically or horizontly, or does he just pee?

Neutering males usually does the trick. Punishing an animal doesn’t usually work though. They dont kow what they are being seperated for. I wish I had more suggestions, but I Do know of a product that DOES work for getting rid of the smell and stains. It’s called URINE GONE. It’s specifically for pet odors such as you have. i would check with another vet to be sure he was neutered properly. doesn’t sound like it.

Fixed animals can still spray that is one myth of spraying that has been debunked by now but it does decrease the spraying or stop it in some animals if he sprayed prior to being fixed it usually only decreases this behavior.
If you have checked with your vet I assume you have had him chcked for a bladder or Urinary tract infection some cats associate the pain of urinating with the litter box and wil go in other areas. He may be also doing it to get his scent in the new house uncomfortable about it, your vet is right to resrict him to a small area and confine him. Cats are ignored by their siblings for misbehavior so it is a natural teaching method.
You can try helping him to spread his scent by rubbing his coat down with a damp wash cloth and wiping it around the window sills and other spraying areas he has choosen, on the walls on the carpet, prior owners may have had a cat and the former cats scent may still be lingering, petco and petsmart sell really good removal products to get the scent out, and a black light can be used to identify areas where your cat has gone, or the other cat for that matter, so you can clean it.
Good luck

we had brought in 4 kittens from outside and all of them used the litter box just fine…except for one. he would keep going in one main spot right under the table even after we moved the litter box to that location..he still just went right next to it instead. my bf eventually got a bottle of stuff off the internet called urine off..i didnt really believe that it would work..but it did. we sprayed it where he was going and he finally stopped wanting to go there and started using the litter box. its a black bottle and the words urine off are in yellow i believe. you spray it where the cats going and cover it with a garbage bag and leave it then rub. you can try this but if it doesnt work for you then im out of suggestions because this is what worked for me…..you can also try spreading a little bit of his food around because ive read that cats will not use the bathroom around there food…good luck!

He’s marking his territory, escpecially if it’s a home someone else lived in before he’ll run aroung and try cover any other scents from other animals and some people. I took in a male stray and he sprayed and everyone in my home wanted me to get rid of him bu I just loved him and couldn’t so what I did was this. Everytime he sprayed I took my bottle of febreeze and took him back to where he sprayed and said " NO SPRAY" and then I sprayed over what he sprayed, I had to do this for quite awhile and he finally gave up knowing I was upset with it. They now sell a product called URINE GONE, I bought mine through a shopping channel and it has enzymes in it that actually eat the smell away, I would try that instead of febreeze. It takes time and patience but he will get the message but do it quickly when you see him spray respray right away. I also noticed he would do if when he wanted to go outside, and where I lived way up north I couldn’t let him out at night because of the cayotees and foxes so we had some real spray battles going on. But I won it took quite alone time though. I wish I had the urine gone then though the stuff really works but you have to let it sit because thats how it eats away the smell. I use it now for accidents only not spraying. Good luck to you.
