Why is my male cat attacking my female, causing her to pee everywhere?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Hello my cats have always gotten along with each other. I have 3 females one male and I also foster cats. They were fine with the foster cats coming and going until recently, my male main coon (3yrs) started attacking one of my female tabby (2years) causing her to spray all over the house. We have tried boar mate spray encase it was sexual agression, calming spray, calming drops in water, and calming pheromone collars. How can we stop the peeing!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. It sounds as though the cats are stressed being near each other. If you have tried the natural products, I would recommend trying NaturVet Quiet Moments with Melatonin which can be found online or at your local pet store.
