Tips About Cats Stop Spraying Urine In The House
Do you feel like correcting this spraying problem is a losing battle? Do you wish you had a bird, dog, or ferret rather than a cat? After going on the internet and trying all of the suggestions do you still have a cat spraying in the house? Don’t feel alone because any of us who had a feline spraying has said yes to all of the above. There is no “magic wand or cure” all remedy for this problem.
If the cat has a physiological (organic) problem then the veterinarian can usually take care of this and you are one of the lucky few. The rest of us are dealing with psychological issues which are more complex and difficult to fix. Usually the organic issues are corrected by treating urinary infections or performing sterilization to eliminate the problem. On rare occasion, (and I own one), the cat will continue to spray after being fixed.
Here is a list of tips that will help in dealing with a cat that is having psychological problems.
- Spend at least a half hour a day playing, massaging, combing, and petting your cat. If your cat is spraying personal items then it is likely upset with you about something. I like to split up the contact to several times a day but do what you can to have some quality time with your cat.
- If the cat has been fixed and is marking randomly on walls, doors, speakers and furniture then it is likely upset about others things. Such as other pets in the house, litter box maintenance, change in routine, change in furniture, changes in access to rooms, and even issues with having company for a week or two. Cats are strange about change, they do not embrace change, and will fight it tooth and claw.
- If the cat is marking windows, glass doors, or screen doors this is likely due to another animal on the property. This is occurs regularly with indoor cats who get excited about other animals potentially invading their territory. An indoor/outdoor cat will likely put up a confrontation first and if they lose, this could create anxiety and they start spraying doors and windows.
- If the cat looks like it is trying to pee in the litter box but nothing happens and shortly later you find a puddle elsewhere this is an organic problem and the veterinarian needs to exam your cat.
Here is a list of tips you need to get started on when you first notice the cat is spraying inside the house.
- Purchase a strong (100 watt or more) portable black light. Ultraviolet light will make urine and most other organic things fluoresce that should not be on your walls, carpet, and furniture. The house must be dark for the black light to be visible. Since all of the lights are off use coins or painters tape to mark the locations. Go everywhere and in every room including above cabinets and counters and accessible entertainment centers. Don’t forget the garage if it is attached to the house and your cat has access there.
- Pre-rinse all locations with water and a rag. Apply 50/50 water and white vinegar in a spray bottle, (you can use this for pre-rinse as well and wash twice). After the location is dried off you can spray with enzyme active washes such as “Natures Miracle”. Try the vinegar first and the enzymes as a last resort. Carpet can be cleaned with the vinegar and add baking soda last to the damp area and let air dry then vacuum.
The objective here is to clean house because cats tend to spray areas that are previously marked when the scent starts to fade. So getting your house in clean order is a start.
- This tip I receive the most complaints and arguments about because so far you have cleaned the house, the litter box duty has improved and you are spending quality time with your cat but you have to demonstrate authority in order to get a behavior change. If kitty is still spraying then you must catch it “in the act” of spraying. This means spending a weekend or so following a cat which is not the most exciting or productive thing to do, but in order to start a change in behavior you need to be there when it happens. I like to clap very loud and use a water spray bottle as effective means to change their behavior.
Letting your cat know that you are not pleased with their spraying is a must. What you need to be careful of is no physical violence or extreme yelling. The last thing you want to do is create a condition where the cat now has anxiety about you. If possible when you spray the cat with water do quickly hide the bottle so it is not certain that you did it. Often a loud clap works because the cat is not sure what makes that noise.
Most people would abandon or have their cat put down because of emotional spraying. This is not a simple problem to take care of and you need to be very strong and determined in order to change your cat’s behavior. To those brave souls who are willing to take up the challenge I commend you. Most folks don’t bother or take the time.

Herbalists: Miscarriage Question – Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil?
I had been using a homemade counter-top sanitizer ( recipe I’d found online) using organic cinnamon bark essential oil mixed with water (about 25 drops in a quart spray bottle). After already using the stuff for about 2 months, I’d found out I was 5 weeks pregnant. I lost the baby at 9 weeks, after hemorrhaging in the emergency room for 2 days. :’(
After doing some research, I found out that pregnant women should avoid ALL cinnamon essential oils, as they are considered an “emmenagogue”, meaning they increas the blood to your uterus and pelvic region, causing menstrual cramps and uterine contractions… I didn’t know this until it was too late.
I’m so sad and worried… :’( Herbalists, could this have been the cause of my miscarriage?
You have been through a very traumatic experience and I do feel for you. As someone else said it is natural to look for reasons that this has happened, but at such an early stage a number of pregnancies will miscarry and there is not always a clear reason for this.
If your only contact with the cinnamon bark oil was in a very dilute form like this used on surfaces, I think it very unlikely it was the problem. Although some essential oils do carry some risks, this varies depending on the oil and the method used. Methods which do not involve direct application to the skin (diluted of course!) are less risky. Although there are a number of things to be cautious of with cinnamon bark essential oil, from the method you describe your contact with it would have been minimal and it is very unlikely that it would have had such an extreme effect.
However it is also natural to worry about things like this when you are pregnant so may I suggest that if you are or intend to become pregnant again, that you consult a qualified aromatherapist who can guide you to oils that will be safe and effective for your particular situation.
