  2. Behavior moderation is a real and tried method of controlling them from spraying, it requires much time and effort on your behalf, and supervises them closely, paying attention to where and when they mark.
  3. It is also helping if you have a new designed for the areas which the cat tends to mark. The cats should not be sprayed in areas where they can eat, sleep and play. If the cat marks in specific places around the home indiscriminately, put its food containers next to the spot, play with him, and put his bed there.
