Cats spraying
By: Dr. Jon Rappaport

Our question this week was:

Thank you for listening. We have 8 cats. One has been spraying and in some cases wetting on the side of my bed. This cat is one year old and neutered. Now we find an old cat 14 years, is phantom spraying in the same spot, we don't know if it is like the chicken and egg, which came first. Who is reacting to whom? The one year old is taking the prescription clomicalm and has had his urine checked. Do you have any suggestions? Should we take one to behavior classes or both. Thank you again.
