In the last few years, cat spraying has become more recognized as a treatable problem. Many cats spray for a variety of physical and behavioral reasons, so take your cat to the veterinarian to determine which is the problem in your cat's case. While cat spraying is a simple behavior, it can lead to serious problems in cat owners' homes unless it is stopped.

Neutering cats is the most common way to ensure that they will not breed and produce unwanted baby kittens. In addition, neutered cats will not spray around the house and foul the owner's furniture. However, this is not an option for all cat owners.

There are people who do not believe in the neutering of their cats. Some of them feel that it is not the owners right to subject their pet to this surgery while others feel that it is the cats right to reproduce while others are actually planning on breeding additional kittens. Other options are available to those individuals who do not want to neuter their cute little kittens.

In some instances, owners do not wish to neuter their male cats because of certain concerns or other issues. For example, some people may want to use their pets in a breeding program when the kittens reach reproductive maturity and therefore do not intend to neuter any of the kittens.

Behavioral modifications must be considered when neutering is not an option because the pet owner is considering breeding of their male cat with a female cat.

Cat spraying can be an enormous problem in your household. Cat spraying results in an offensive smell and difficult to remove stains, making your home very unpleasant. The damage to your furnishings and other belongings can be expensive to remedy. If you are unable to neuter your cat as a solution to its spraying problem, you can take advantage of other solutions to prevent this behavior from continuing.
