Speak to the veterinarian about having a female cat spayed or a male cat neutered if the cat sprays. Ninety percent of male cats will not spray if they have been neutered, according to Doctors Foster and Smith Pet Education.

Hang window shades or move furniture away from windows, to keep the cat from seeing outside. The cat might begin spraying if it sees other cats roaming around outside.

Offer multiple cats in the home an equal amount of attention. Many times, if there is more than one cat in a household, one or all of them will begin to spray out of jealously or competition.

Feed the cat on a regular routine, and always keep its bed and litter box in the same spot. A cat could be spraying in response to a change in its environment.
-
5
Clean up a urination spot immediately after it is left. A cat will spray in the same spot continuously if it smells previous urination there.

6
Speak to the veterinarian about anti-anxiety medications. Prescription medications such as Valium can be given to the cat by a licensed veterinarian if the spraying is a result of anxiety. This anxiety could be caused by a sudden change in the cat's life, such as a new home of the death of another pet.
