Stop Your Cat Urinating Inappropriately

There are many reasons why cats urinate inappropriately around the house. Cats may mark their territory by urinating when stressed. If your cat is unwell and has a urinary tract infection then this can cause it to urinate uncontrollably. The most important thing that you absolutely must do in order to put an end to your cats urinating in the home is to clean up any areas that he has used in the past.

1. Thoroughly clean the area that your cat is using to urinate using a recommended Cat Urine Removal technique. The key is to completely eradicate the smell other wise your cat will return to pee in the same place over and over again.

2. Prevent your cat from being able to access the areas of the house that he was using to urinate. This may be as simple as keeping the doors to certain rooms closed so that your cat cannot get into them at all. So do not allow your cat to have a free run of the house. You might think of restricting your cat to the kitchen only for example. Several commercial cat deterrent products are available which can be very effective. You can get double sided sticky tape that can used to cover furniture or another repellent you can use is a bitter apple spray which cats find unbelievably bitter.

3. Once you have a completely cat urine odour free house and you have restricted your cats access to certain areas of your home the next step is to find out what is causing the problem in the first place. Remember that if your cat is urinating all over the house there is usually a reason for its behaviour. If your cat is spraying to mark his territory it could mean that he is stressed so try and find out what is upsetting him. He may be feeling stressed by unfamiliar faces and people, moving home, other pets or unfamiliar objects such as new furniture. It is also a good idea to get your cat checked at the Vets to make sure that he does not have a urinary tract infection as this can cause him to urinate uncontrollably. Try to catch your cat in the act to see if he is showing any signs of pain while urinating. Blood in the urine is also a sign of a urinary tract infection.

Follow these three steps and you should be able to solve your cat urinating problems and leave you with a happy cat.
