How to STOP Your Cat Spraying Everywhere: 9 tips for success!

If your cat is peeing outside the litter box or spraying everywhere then these 9 steps will help you get to the bottom of the problem and help you stop your cat peeing everywhere.

Cats who urinate everywhere, who choose not to use their litter tray or are spraying on the couch or on your bed either have a severe stress problem or underlying medical condition.

It is also a very stressful thing for us as owners to deal with.

Working through these 9 steps will help you work out what the cause of peeing everywhere is and work out how to stop your cat spraying everywhere.

1. why do cats spray - to mark their terratory
2. figure out if spraying vs urination - spraying is urinating against vertical surfaces (like the couch) and urinating involves squatting and urinating on horizontal surfaces
3. make sure no underlying medical problem - cystitis, stones, bladder tumor, arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease - these can either cause an increase in urine production or make it hard for your cat to use their litter box
4. make sure they are neutered - neutered cats have a reduced marking drive
5. reduce their stress levels - stress is a huge cause of spraying
6. litter tray management - number, type, cleaning frequency, litter type
7. move either tray or food bowl to spot where they repeatedly urinate
8. proper cleanup - using the wrong thing can make the problem worse
9. avoid these things - negative reinforcement, deterrent sprays, use ammonia cleaning products

Working your way through these steps should get your cat using their litter box again or stop them spraying everywhere.
