We decided to name her Fancy because of her large, beautiful green eyes. Due to her age and title of Tough Old Neighborhood Stray, she does not typically get along well with our two neutered males. They generally stay away from each other, and all was well - until she began marking her territory a month ago.
My first instinct was a trip to the veterinarian, as I wasn't aware of female's marking their territory. The doctor insisted that Fancy is just too old for major surgery such as a spay, and she was not comfortable operating on a cat of her age. She also recommended one of a number of "deterrent sprays", which could be found at large department stores such as Wal-mart or specialty stores such as Pet Smart.
Among the many scented and non-scented deterrent sprays, I finally chose Pets Organics' No Mark! spray. This product was not any ordinary deterrent spray, as it simulated pheromones which comfort the cat, thus reducing its urge to spray.
The directions were simple enough: clean affected area with water or alcohol only. Once the surface is dry, spray No Mark! on the affected surfaces twice daily for one week. Then once daily, as needed. If urine-marking should reoccur, simply repeat the above procedure.
After only two days of use, I noticed that Fancy had no desire to even explore that specific corner of the house. Not only did she lose interest in marking, but I caught her using the litter box on her own! I had attempted to litter train her when the weather began to change, but to no avail. She has always gone to the door when she needed to do her business, so I had given up. And now she has been using the litter box on her own for nearly two weeks, which the two boys don't seem to mind one bit.
I would recommend Pet Organics' No Mark! spray to anyone suffering from a cat constantly marking their territory. The spray is non-scented, completely safe, effective, and does not harm surfaces such as painted walls, curtains, wood, or furniture.
