    Have you looked at the feliway range of sprays for cats?

    They stop unwanted scratching, spraying etc. We used their diffuser when our cats were fighting.

    Basically they contain cat pheromones, which is the scent they produce when they rub up against something (or spray), so it's a "friendly" smell and they won't feel like they need to mark their territory.

    They aren't cheap mind, but if you shop around or even try on ebay, you should be able to save a few quid!

    How does she get around on two legs? I've never heard of a two legged cat before. Poor thing. Have you asked your vet for advise? There is something wrong if she has only started doing this in the last 12 months? Has she been checked for any Urine infections?
  • I have two kittens and I am not sure when they need to be spayed. Is there a particular time when they need to be done how do i know

    As soon as your vet will carry out the op - don't wait till they are 6 months old, I had a cat who was pregnant by 5 months. Our little cat was done at arond 16 weeks old, it's more about the weight and their general development, so ask the vet when you're down getting their vaccinations.

    As ailuro says - as soon as your vet is happy they are big enough. Keep them indoors until they have been done too no matter what age :)

  • Two kittens of 4 months old are not going to make any between them.

    You cant spay too early because of the hormones......it needs to be near the 6 month mark.

    But so long as the female doesnt go out before then, she will be ok. The male kitten wont 'get' her.
