I'm sorry to hear that your pet is spraying. Unfortunately intact male cats will almost always spray in the home b/c they are marking their territory due to the high testosterone levels in their bloodstream. You will need to get him neutered to stop this behavior. You can ask your vet for some medication (i.e. Prozac) to give him until you can get him scheduled to get fixed. This worked almost instantly for my own cat! : ) This mediation works in many cases to stop the spraying, but for a long term fix he will need to get neutered. Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and best of luck with Jack moving forward! Take care.
