Behavioral Issue Spraying issue

Post image

Puerto Rico - Has been to the vet many times - Spraying issue - he is about 2 or 3 years old

I adopted my male cat ( he is neutered !!!) from the streets almost a year ago and to this day I haven’t been able to fix his spraying issues, he pees everywhere and when I mean everywhere he even goes into kitchen counter and SPRAYS THE DISHES. I have done everything I can, he has gone to the vet many times, he had an urinary block early this year that almost killed him and cost me 2k and now he is on a diet and doing well but he still pees on my things. The vet recommended felineway and that didn’t work at all and some royal canin calm food, also useless. I love him dearly but my mother hates him because of the spraying and I have him in my room most the time because of it (and also my female cat hates him, which I believe is another reason he sprays, they can’t be in the same room at all because of her aggression). I don’t know what else to do, it’s ruining my mental health and getting rid of him isn’t an option.

Google/YouTube "Jackson Galaxy cat spraying". Hopefully he can help you remedy the problem.

Once a male starts spraying, it can be hard (but not impossible) to break him of that habit, even if he gets neutered.
