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.

One of the major problems that owners of male cats face is spraying. One way to combat the problem is to have your cat neutered. This should stop most male cats from spraying, especially in the home, but the costs associated with neutering prevent some owners from being able to "fix" their cats.

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.

On the other hand, some people feel that they have some particular issues which would create a serious problem if they neutered their male cats. For example, some pet owners who have kittens also have the intention of breeding their kittens once they have grown into cats.

This is also true if you plan to breed your male cats with others' female cats to produce kittens, in which case other ways of changing your cat's behavior must be utilized.

Cats that are not neutered are more likely to spray in your house. Cat spray can be overwhelming and is sometimes is found on your furniture, bedding, carpets, clothing, flooring and the likes. Cat spray is extremely smelly and it does leave a nasty stain. If you are not able to neuter your cat you will need to use other techniques to stop the cat from spraying inside your house.

Cat spraying can be one of the biggest cat problems for pet owners. Because spraying can be linked to medical problems, always get your cats health checked before assuming that the spraying is just a behavioral problem. The most effective way to prevent a cat from spraying is to have it neutered. However, neutering is not always possible: for example, some owners feel they do not have the right to neuter their cats, and others plan to breed their cats. If neutering is not possible, you will need to find another way to prevent spraying.
