But what is it that causes cats to do this in the first place. Well it could be a number of things but one of the main reason is usually due to an addition to your house hold, whether this is another pet or a baby. This can often lead to your pet feeling left out. In this case you will need to make sure that you are paying your pet enough attention and you may just need to give it time for your cat to adjust to new people or animals being in the house.

If you can’t wait that long, then a good technique is to put kitchen foil round the areas where the cat is spraying as they don’t like the sound the foil makes.

Also, when cleaning up after you cat, make sure to use a biological detergent. This is important, because if you clean using ammonia based detergents the cats will recognise it as urine and it will only encourage them to spray again.
