My cat sprayed me
Just did it. Right out of nowhere. I was petting him, being all nice and lovey dovey like always, and then BAM, he lifts his tail and sprays me.

What the hell is that all about? He's a healthy cat so no 'urinary tract infection' excuses.

Bastard. I still love him, though. :)

4. No way!
He's a sweetie... I was mad as hell and still gripe at him about it, but that doesn't change the fact that he's my bubby.

16. Yeah that is?
You might want to have him checked out.

When cats do things out of the norm (like peeing on the floor when they don't) they might be trying to tell you something.

17. This happened a long time ago...
He's been to the vet since and checks out fine... so... ?

I was actually too embarassed to tell the vet... now I'm thinking I should go back and do so.

14. But he's fixed too!
So he shouldn't be able to do it at all? I think the doctor may have messed up or something. His thingys do look smaller, but something SURE came out!

27. I don't know.
How old was he when he was fixed? We think it's funny that our cat does the action even though he's got nothing going on down there!

31. Not sure
We think he was pretty young, but he was a stray so he may have been small due to lack of food.

21. Well obviously it "didn't take" :)
If he is able to spray, he obviously has some junk still intact.

33. Possible explaination:
I had a vet tell me once that when male cats reach that age, and are brought to be "fixed", often only one testicle has descended fully. Discretion being the better part of valor, many vets leave the undescended testicle intact.

30. Get Another Cat
There are lots of cats with sense enough not to spray their human companions. Get one.

34. I have been told by a few people
that if a male kitty ever sprayed before they got fixed they might keep doing it after. Did he ever spray before? Don't get another kitty! He loves you and you love him, obviously. Take him to the vet if he keeps acting weird.

36. No, but he was a stray
so he may have before we got him. But he was so itty bitty... I thought he was still a kitten. He's still small. And crosseyed. :)

He only did it one time, over a year ago. I'm over it. If it happens again I'll drag his butt for an extra trip to the vet!

41. Does he still have his nuts?
They will do that if those are still there. They still have the hormone. get him castrated and that will stop.
