My cat just sprayed on top of my fucking monitor. I can't clean it up that well since it seaped in the cracks. I don't even know how it's still working. I can't afford a new monitor, this shit better not break a week from now or something.

SMELLS LIKE FUCKING ASSHOLE IN HERE NOW GOD DAMN IT THANKS A LOT YOU SONOVA BITCH CAT JESUS CHRIST. I can't get his balls removed until next week, so I have to put up with this spraying every day until then. My question though, /an/, now that he's already been spraying for a month or so... will fixing him stop him from spraying all over my expensive shit?

unless you live in a studio apartment, move all your good stuff out of one room and leave the cat in there.

sounds terrible

It helps to get a cat neutered before he ever starts spraying. The chances of him doing it later on are reduced. But if he's already spraying...wow. He might stop, and the might not. If he doesn't, don't be surprised.

I'm so sorry, OP.

It MAY not stop him spraying, but it certainly will stop him from breeding.

>now that he's already been spraying for a month or so

Did you have an odd feeling you'd forgotten something important about two months ago?

I had one cat that was neutered when he was a kitten and still sprayed stuff when he was older... but for the most part all of my cats stopped spraying after they were neutered. good luck ^^

There's a female calico who belongs to someone in the condo complex I live in. She sprays all the damn time. My car is, apparently, within her territory.

Oh god no. I feared this day might come. I should have fixed him sooner!!! WHY DIDN'T I FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I hung up a bunch of car fresheners in front of fans and air conditioners. Smells like some weird mixture of cinnamon asshole now.

Someone give me some statistics or let me know if your cat stopped spraying when you got it fixed, or just lie to me.

There are several approaches you can take but not all may work for your situation.

Castration of males or spaying of females can reduce the cat’s motivation for spraying.

Early neutering of your kitten will in most cases stop your cat from spraying in the future. Neutering after spraying activity has commenced may reduce it.

For older cats, one study showed that
87% of all male cats stop spraying after castration
78% stop immediately
9% stop in a few months
13% keep spraying

Another study showed that 77% of cats reduced or stopped spraying within six months of being neutered or spayed.

Wow what the hell. I didn't think there would actually be detailed statistics. Those sound like reassuring numbers. I don't get a few of the numbers though. How can you stop after castration and immediately?

I don't know much about cats, but if anyone else has kittens and skipped out on neutering due to being just a house cat... holding their nose in it and popping them while screaming NOOOO!!! does absolutely nothing. He gets all scared and runs under the bed, but then like 10 minutes later he hops in my lap and starts purring... then sprays something later.

Do cats have a 10 minute memory span, like goldfishes?

13% isn't "reassuring" by statistical standards...

My cat ruined my bro's monitor with spraying. The monitor was repaired but a couple of weeks or so later he sprayed it again. We just bought another monitor, my bro didn't want to go to the shop and have to explain why he's brought the same monitor soaked in piss a second time :/
The thing with this cat is that he was castrated TWICE. Yep, that's right, twice. Even if cats don't stop spraying after getting fixed they do drop other habits like trying to hump the ever loving shit out of everything in sight and when my cat didn't stop doing these things we got suspicious and took him to another vet. Turns out he had a condition, don't know what it's called, where a third testicle develops inside but it's not visible in a simple neutering procedure. While not being able to reproduce, that testicle will secrete hormones and make the cat act like a regular one. So he had to have surgery in order to remove it. The vet said that because this sort of testicle has an irregular shape, that makes it very hard to remove it and there’s always a chance that a tiny part that’s not visible to the human eye will remain and continue producing hormones. Luckily, my cat stopped acting like a male in heat and hasn’t sprayed since then.

So yeah, fix your cat. My personal opinion is that he’ll stop spraying if there’s no reason that’s keeping him motivated to do so (i.e. another male cat in the house or cats coming at your window and taunting him or something).

They strapped the cat down froggy style, then had to shoot the .22 twice to take the nuts off.

Ol' Uncle Ed had had a bit to drink right beforehand and was an unsteady shot.

Eeeerm, read the whole damn post? We castrated him, he kept acting like a normal cat would, we took him to another vet and they said he still had a testicle piece in him that kept secreting hormones so the doc removed that.
