Getting Your Cat to Stop Spraying

• 1). Have your veterinarian screen your cat for any medical conditions.
  
  
• 2). Place litter boxes in the areas where your cat sprays.
  
  
• 3). Put down plastic, two-sided tape, food, sandpaper or a lemon scent in areas where cat sprays. These will discourage spraying.
  
  
• 4). To divert your cat from spraying in sinks and bathtubs, fill them with a little water.
  
  
• 5). Confine your cat to a clean area with a litter box, food and water.
  
  
• 6). Block visual access to outside areas if your cat is stressed by something in the outdoor environment (for example, a new cat in the area).
  
  
• 7). Use an abundance of positive reinforcement messages.
