He just BLANTENTLY peed on my new comfy chair. We keep the box very clean, scooping several times a day (so thats not the prob)We recently rescued another cat (so I think thats the problem) I've use bitter orange, but I'd like a back up plan, something to keep him OFF MY CHAIR
I'm wondering if people will ever read what I have to say about tinfoil. DON'T use it. Not all cats hate it....some like to eat it. I know of a cat that DID....in my friend's words, he was shittin' tinfoil for a month.
is he neutered? if not, neuter him then he won't spray. Something to keep him off your chair- Lemon. Cats hate the smell. either put some peel in a muslin bag and leave it there, spray lemon oil mixed with water on it (depending on what your chair is made of - test in an unconspicuous place) or just leave some lemons on your chair when you're not there.
Cats are very territorial, and doesn't like to share with other cats; it's a threat to them. Best way to overcome the jealousy thing is to take both cats at the same time and give equal attention to them both. The jealous one will come to realize that it is not loved any less. This may sound cruel, but it works; keep a spray bottle of plain tap water close to the chair, and anytime he gets on the chair, give him a quick spray shot. Cats are not very fond of water. Doing this routinely will eventually teach the cat to stay off!
I'm jealous and I didn't want a baby brother. Do you still love me? That's what old cat is saying. The state of the box is not the big problem. You might try getting another one, for new cat to use just to keep a potential fight from happening. This is more of a psychological problem. I think this will stop when he learns he is still top cat. So don't scold him. Of course you still love him. He is still the best cat in the whole world you will tell him every chance you get. In the mean time, put some tin foil on the chair. Cats hate it.
they make plastic covers for couches and chairs to protect them.get one,for some reason cats hate them.if that dont work at least your chair is covered from future ATTACKS
