How to Stop Your Cat Peeing and Spraying Problems For Good by These Simple Techniques

A cat that pees in the house can make your home smell like a litter box.

It can be upsetting and stressful for you and can become expensive if you're forced to continually clean carpets and floors, or replace furniture.

Many cat owners mistakenly believe that the problem will eventually go away... Others give up in frustration and are forced to give their cat away, or worse...

While others scream and shout at their feline friend, which only succeeds in creating an even more anxious and confused cat that's MORE LIKELY to pee and spray in inappropriate places.

Consider using synthetic pheromones. Anxiety plays a role in many undesirable feline behaviors, including urine spraying and aggression. Feline synthetic pheromones, such as Feliway, can be used to calm them down and create a more comfortable environment

Synthetic pheromones mimic the pheromone that cats produce when they feel comfortable in their surroundings. They usually release it via facial rubbing.
