On Easter Sunday my Grandma sprayed febreeze directly into the cat’s face. The next day he was showing signs of illness. Today he was admitted into the animal hospital for liver problems. The cat is 9 years old.

Could it have been the spray or just coincendental?

Why would a female cat suddenly start spraying?

My neighbor’s cat has been spraying in my house in recent weeks, and I am wondering why. She has visited often in the past year with no problem. But about 3 months ago I caught her spraying in my kitchen and she did it again the other day. (Yes , I broke down and let her in again after the first time.) My neighbor says the cat never sprays in her house. We have a dog but he moved in with us over a year ago and the cat never seemed to be bothered by him before. A cat lived in the apartment before we moved in and apparently they were not chummy. But why all of a sudden?

How can I stop a cat from spraying my porch?

There is a cat in our neighborhood who is constantly spraying our porch. We have tried some cleaning spray from the pet store that simulates the pheromones so theoretically the cat will think it has already sprayed and will leave it alone, but it has not worked. Our next step is to buy a cat trap and take the cat to the animal shelter once we catch it, but I would like to avoid that.
