Things You'll Need
- Kennel
- Ground ginger
- Citrus rinds
Instructions
Neuter or spay your cat if this has not been done already. These operations naturally cause cats to be less territorial, making them less likely to spray.
Play with your cat for a total of at least one hour each day. Giving your cat plenty of love and attention will reduce his jealousy and anxiety.
Lock the cat in a kennel and bring your baby close enough to the crate that the cat can smell the baby. Once your cat gets used to the smell of the baby, as well as to the idea of being near the baby, she will become less territorial.
Retain a normal daily routine. A slight change in feeding schedules, for example, is enough to cause anxiety in some cats and make them more likely to spray.
Put ground ginger and citrus rinds in and around the baby's room and toys. Cats find these smells unpleasant and will generally stay away from them.
