The urine smell from an unneutered cat is like a million times worse than a neutered one.  I don't see how anything could get that smell out...  My cats are neutered.  We have some accidents, but the odor can be cleaned and not run us out of the house like it has when I fostered recently ne

Get yourself some 'Urine Gone' (as seen on tv - the stuff really works)...and then get yourself some Feliway spray (www.entirelypets.com has it for $16.99 - best price I've seen).  Spritz that Feliway anywhere he is inclined to spray or scratch - as scratching is also a scent marking functi

Just chiming in to agree.  You will save yourself a world of frustration if you get this big ol' boy neutered.  It may take a while for the residual hormones to work themselves out, but it's a sure thing that the territory marking behaviors are the result of him not being neutered.  And, not

Our FELV+ has developed a very bad habit of spraying around the house. Especially in shoes. He's also started urinating at our bedroom doors when we shut them to go to bed. He's intact because I don't believe in Neutering. (He's kept away from other cats, so please don't make that a huge issue
