Instructions
Know the kitten's sex. Only male kittens that are not neutered will spray.
Keep track of the kitten's age. Kittens can start to spray at about about five- or six-months-old. A kitten's age can be estimated by looking at their teeth; if he has developed back molars, he is about six months or older.
Consider if the kitten is around any female cats that have not been spayed. Kittens will react to female cats and may start to spray when she goes into heat.
Observe the kitten's activities during the day. If he approaches objects backward with his tail held stiff and upright, he is about to spray.
How to Know When Your Kitten Is About to Start Spraying?
Male cats spray to mark their territory and they will start displaying this behavior as kittens. The time that a kitten starts spraying will depend on his development, nutrition and the environment in which he is being raised. There are however a few telltale signs that a kitten is ready to start spraying. These signs will be important for owners that want to neuter the kitten or prevent him from spraying in the house.
