Out of Character Spraying

Post by houseofvegas »

Vegas is a 4 year old cat that I've had since his brother, the yellow labrador, brought him home at 2 weeks of age. He has been neutered and declawed :cry: and believe it or not, he has been litter box trained since day one. Unfortunately, he has recently started to spray (infrequently, but I can't figure out what triggers it) and I was wondering if this was an indication of a medical problem or if he might be feeling neglected :( He rules the house and is the type of cat that wants you to love him when HE wants to be loved. I've never had this problem before and was wondering if someone could shed some light on what might be going on with him. Thanks a bunch :D

shoot--think i wiped out my reply so anyway it is possible that there is a female in heat and the pheremones are geting through to him, neutered or not...but also cystitis could be developing....get a urine check soon
