cat spraying? When will it stop?

I have a 5 year old Female cat, she is not Fixed, and she has had 2 little's of kitten's when she was very young.
I also have a 10 month old kitty, that has just started to Go into heat.
My older cat, my 5 year old, will pee everywhere and anywhere when she goes into heat, and in the winter it might be 2 to 3 time's (heat cycles)
and in the summer it seem's like it is every other day.
When she isn't in heat, it don't seem like she pee's anyplace.
She has a clean litter box, so that isn't the problem.
My younger cat has just started to join into the act, and she has started to spray as well.
My question is, would getting them both fixed, fix the problem?
OR will they continue to spray regaurdless?
I have them confinded to a landry room where they have totally peed everywhere. it is nasty.
I don't want to give them away, but me and my husband are loosing out mind's.
Any advice or anyone else having this same problem?

 

YES.....getting them fixed should solve your problems.
But after that is done, be sure to clean every inch of area that has been peed on VERY WELL....use Nature's Miracle or one of the similar products because cats tend to pee on the places they smell have been peed on already.

 

ok,. thanks alot. i hope that will work

 

i've had many cats. it seems to me, once they start spraying, it's for life. and my cats have been fixed. get them fixed as soon as they're old enough, don't wait. keep them from starting.

 

Female cats dont really "spray" they just pee....male cats spray....once they start that, then yes, its hard to get them to stop.

 

To get a male feline to stop 'spraying' get his ass 'fixed'. He's marking HIS territory. Once the urge to procreate is gone, that mess will stop. But! he will get fat and lazy. so watch his diet.

 

I agree with having them altered too since it reduces hormonal activities and truly helps in them living a longer, healthier and happy life.

Also, you may want to try a little known method from my grandmothers time, where you take a soft clean cotton cloth and rub it all over their face/head, then transfer their scent from the cloth to the spots where they are spraying. Initially, I had trouble believing this would work, but it actually does work since it uses their own scent to fool them into believing their territory is secure and hence there is no longer any reason to spray.

 

Female cats do spray. And once they start it's not a problem you can easily correct. They can be as agressive in marking their territory as males.

Early altering does minimize this. It seems to become exaggerated with unspayed females in heat. But even elderly spayed females can display this unsavory behavior.
