Expert Answer

If the cat isn’t in heat, correct the habit with firm-but-gentle discipline: scold or lightly pat when it urinates wrongly, and reward with a treat for using the box, gradually breaking the habit. But if it’s in heat, the behavior is unavoidable – a natural instinct to attract mates by spraying. To prevent it, neuter the cat about a week after heat ends.
