I've got 6 cats. They're all rescues and all lived with me since kittens. For the most part they're all healthy -- one has an immune issue that's being monitored, but otherwise clean bill of health for all 6. They're all neutered. They're all calm, friendly, clean boys.
I had a baby 7 months ago. For 6 months, no problems at all. Then the past month one of my cats, Rambo, has started spraying on any horizontal surface he can get near. Nothing has changed in the past month. No new pets, no new visitors, no change in environment. He doesn't have an infection. Vet says it's most likely territorial.
What can I do to stop this? My baby is crawling now and getting up to all the places the cat keeps spraying onI don't want to banish Rambo but I also don't want my baby taking a mouthful of cat pee (as everything he touches goes in his mouth). And there's only so much of watching Rambo like a hawk I can do. He's a bundle of energy and always dashing about.
They're all indoor/outdoor cats with constant access to outdoors so there are no litter trays in the house, no issues with hygiene in that respect.
As I say I don't want to banish Rambo to the garden but I'm quickly running out of patience. He's doing it constantly and on every surface he goes near. Can it be a territorial thing with the new baby despite being just fine for the first six months? And if so, what can I do about it?
