Multi-pet homes and rescues are the biggest triggers, leading to fights, scratching, and litter box accidents. Once stress takes hold, it’s hard to undo.
If your cat is peeing outside the litter box, scratching furniture, or getting into territorial fights, it’s mostly experiencing severe stress.
This issue needs to be addressed before it worsens over time.
You’ve Probably Tried These Solutions… But They Don’t Work
Adding More Litter Boxes
While useful for multi-cat homes, extra litter boxes won’t fix stress-driven marking.
Many owners add boxes only to find their cat still peeing elsewhere.
Other Pheromone Diffusers
Most brands use only one pheromone, but cats need different types for different stresses.
Some calm down, while others get more anxious or mark even more
Enzyme Cleaners
These remove urine odor but don’t stop stress-based marking.
Even in a fully cleaned home, cats continue spraying due to anxiety or territorial triggers.
Changing the Type of Litter
Many assume cats dislike their litter, but most peeing issues are behavioral, not texture-related.
Owners try pine, walnut, or cat-attract litter, only to see no improvement.
Separating Cats in Different Areas
Prevents fights but doesn’t fix their relationship—they remain territorial and may still fight if they cross paths.
Slow Reintroduction Process
Separating cats and reintroducing them with scent-swapping and gradual meetings only works if the problem is initial fear.
If the cats already have a deep-set rivalry, territorial disputes, or past fights, reintroducing doesn’t erase bad history.
