Urine Marking
Urine marking often develops as a result of a change in the household, most typically the addition of one or more new cats. Recent studies show that increasing the number of cats in the home is one of the strongest predictors of urine marking as a house soiling problem.
Treatment of spraying in neutered cats always involves identifying and attempting to diffuse the underlying cause. For example, if a new pet has been introduced into the household, confining the new animal and instituting a gradual program of introduction is often successful. Because urine marking can be a difficult problem to treat, professional help should be sought if you think this is the cause of your cat’s house soiling.
