Male cats in heat and peeing everywhere can be relieved by diverting attention, breeding, and taste stimulation. Among them, breeding is the most direct way. In addition, if the owner has no idea of ​​breeding, he can take the male cat to a regular pet hospital for sterilization after the male cat is in heat. If the cat is not sterilized and has no chance of breeding, the male cat's estrus will become more severe each time, and the interval between estrus will also be shortened.

1. Diversion of attention

When a male cat is in heat, he will urinate everywhere to mark his territory and try to attract the female cat with his scent. The owner can take measures to divert the cat's attention, such as using toys such as cat sticks, hair balls, laser pointers, etc. to entertain the cat and consume its energy. The owner can also feed the cat some snacks that it usually likes to eat, such as canned food and meat. Dry, nutritional paste, etc. can prevent cats from peeing or running away.

2. Breeding

If the owner has a breeding plan, he can directly find female cats for male cats to mate with. When the needs of male cats are met, they will not pee everywhere. . However, when choosing a mating partner for a male cat, the owner should also pay attention to the age and physical health of the female cat. It would be better to choose an experienced female cat.

3. Exciting smell

Cats are very disgusted with the smell of citrus and essential oil, and they will run away like crazy if they smell even a little bit. If the owner does not want the cat to urinate randomly, he can spray these scents in areas where the cat frequently moves so that the cat will not come near these places.

4. Consider sterilization

If the owner has no plan to breed the male cat, he can take the male cat to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery after the male cat is in estrus, which can reduce the male cat's estrus. period pain while reducing the occurrence of reproductive system diseases. However, before the male cat undergoes sterilization surgery, it is necessary to check whether there are any abnormalities in the male cat's mental state, appetite, urine, body temperature, etc., to ensure that the male cat is in a healthy state before the surgery can be performed.
