We have a cat we adopted from a shelter in October and he has been doing this 'spraying' that is getting annoying. He is about 2 years old and was neutered when we got him.
The pattern is this: My husband gets home from work and plays with the cat, then goes to do something else and the cat then pees on the floor.
When I (the wife) gets home first on other days, I play with the cat and do whatever and he doesn't do this peeing on the floor when I go to do other things.
What's going on here!?!? We first tried to remedy it by cleaning out his litter box more often...and that still could be the problem, however, our pattern now is to scoop the poop out as soon as we see it then change it all out about 2 times a week.
Is it possible he's so picky he won't go into a litter box that has pee in it? Or is there some male dominance thing going on with my husband? Fate could have it that I only get home earlier than my husband on the days the litter is newly changed, thus my not seeing this pattern.
PLEASE HELP! We don't want to get rid of the little guy but we don't know what to do to stop this behavior!
