Hi all, this is my first post on the forum since I've joined.
I have Titch a 2 year old female who was hand reared and Skinny a 8 year old female who was left at the house when I bought it 4 years ago! Both have been spayed. My problem is with Titch who last year started spraying in the house. She backs up to furniture, tail twitches then squirts urine. I clean up the areas using biological washing powder to break down the enzymes then I use pet stain & odour removal products. It seems to be only when she is in season as over winter she didn't spray anywhere in the house (a nice break for me from clearing it up!!) She was spayed at 6 months and didn't start spraying till early last summer. I can cope with cleaning the furniture and the smells don't linger in the house, but she has now started peeing on my kitchen worktop! I clean it in the same way and I also have foil stuck on the back of the worktop but as the foil comes down she starts doing it again! My kitchen looks terrible with the foil on the worktop and when people visit it is embarassing to explain to them that the foil is because my cat is peeing on the worktop! What else can I do to stop her peeing on the worktop? She does have some behavoural problems with her being hand reared. She gets on ok with my other cat but I wouldn't say they were best of friends.... rather they just tolerate each other!
Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks
