My cats were just spayed, why are they peeing everywhere now?

Question

My cats got spayed recently & suddenly they started peeing everywhere. The litter box is always clean & I use the same brand of litter 2 years without any problem. They are trained at "dont" and "good" but at that topic they just don't get it and I'm getting upset. Their behavior is like it used to be, even tho the normal behaviour for the male is to often steal anything with fabric & ATTACK us hard if try to take it back. I thought it was from being unspayed but he continues still & I can't.. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 months and 6 days old

This sounds like a complicated situation that may benefit from a consult or multiple questions. I will address the urination. Inappropriate urination is most common in multiple cat households. I would recommend that the cats be tested for urinary infections first. If normal then start addressing behavior. Add 1 more litter box than the number of cats. Start watching closely for “bossy” cats or stressful type of situations. Are they seeing outside cats and peeing after they see them? Is anyone scared of being attacked at the litter box? Add feliway diffusers into the rooms they tend to urinate in. This can get you started. Then look into feline environmental enrichment ideas. These include super tall cat trees, bird feeders at the windows, toys, etc. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
