Tip for getting your cat to stop spraying

Submitted by Jayme Thueringer

I have a tip for getting your cat to stop spraying:

Find the area(s) your cat has been spraying and sprinkle the floor around it with cyan pepper. If they don't smell it they will get it on their paws and eventually lick them. Once they taste the yucky stuff they won't go in that area anymore!

When a cat sprays, it is unwise to waste time with unproven household methods. A cat eliminates outside the box because it is A; sick B; has a behavioural problem. Both should be checked out as soon possible by a professional (eg vet or behaviourist) and they will not advise well meant but ineffective measures like this tip.
