Cat that spray against furniture

[malumbu]

Was fooled into taking two rescue cats from Celia Hammond. Both neutered. One is a bit anxious and sprays on furniture doing ????? of damage. We plug stuff in to calm them down, and other remedies.

It doesn't change. We've had them four years.

Solutions ? Drowing (thinking of the telly programme 'Intruders' last night)

Jesting of course

Return him to Celia Hammond

Continue with bits of hardboard against various pieces of furniture to protect them.

Irony is that I have never been fond of cats. Preferred the hamsters which are much easier to deal with. But was worn down by the kids. And I can live with the scratching damage to the carpet, the occasional present of a dead, nearly dead, alive bird or mouse.

Serious suggestions please.

Yes I know my syntax is wrong.

Plenty of stuff of internet - http://www.catsofaustralia.com/cat-stress.htm

Yes it is a two cat household = stress

Yes he gets bullied by other cats - too many bally cats in the ares

What works with you catpeople?

Doesn't neutering normally sort that out?

[malumbu]

Most of the time - but not all. Well at least when they have been neuteured the place doesn't smell of tom cat.

Have you contacted celia hammond to ask for advice

[malumbu]

Celia Hammond is a bit of an oddball, but good point to contact the rescue centre

Surely others most have some experience with peeing cats?

I used to rub my cat's face in it each time, same if he shat or pissed.

Guess what ?

He stopped.

They aren't stupid.

I spray Feliway on to any area where the cat scratches or pees. Seems to stop it. (Not the diffuser, but the spray directly on to the specific spot.)
