My very first cat my wife and I adopted has had problems marking around the house for the last couple years. I know that sounds like a long time and is really disgusting but I feel like we have tried everything to try and deter him with little to no progress. We love him so much and are committed to giving him a loving home for his whole life. We will never even entertain the thought of not having him in our home so we've become resigned to the fact that we are always going to have to be cleaning and scrubbing areas in the house. We have waterproof covers on our furniture, do nightly cleanings and switch out towels that we cover all the cat beds/trees in the house. I know it's pretty ridiculous but like I said we've kind of given up and just accepted his behavior.
We've taken him to the vet and each time they say he is perfectly healthy and give us a list of things to try. When we tell them we've tried all of their recommendations they pretty much say that there is not much that can be done and he may be part of a small number of male cats that refuse to stop spraying.
We've tried Feliway diffusers, spray, enzyme cleaning spray, different scents on furniture, not letting him look outside, trying different litter, calming food/treats, etc. Is there anything else anyone would suggest we try? We are out of ideas and feel discouraged that we are going to have to deal with this for the rest of our cat's life.
