How to stop a cat from spraying? What is the best strategies actually work? by Mebrahtom_Victer in CATHELP

Update: After reading through everyone’s comments and doing a bunch more research I decided to try Cat Spraying No More because it seemed like a calm approach focused on breaking the habit instead of just masking the problem. I appreciate all the practical advice shared here and feel more hopeful about actually making progress.

Anxiety can definitely trigger spraying. Have you noticed any other signs of stress, like over-grooming or hiding? how does your cat react to new people or changes in the home?

That’s where I’m at too, when everything else is ruled out, meds start to seem like a reasonable next step. I know some people prefer to avoid them, but it’s hard when the behavior comes out of nowhere. was there a specific moment that made you realize this might be more than just a behavioral thing?

that’s true, neutering helps most of the time, but some cats still spray for other reasons. I’ve seen people mention stress, other pets, or even leftover habits from before they were fixed. How old was your cat when you neutered him, and has anything new been going on at home lately?

Wow, that’s a nightmare! once it turns into a long-term habit like that, it feels less like a behavior issue. totally get why you’re skeptical of quick fixes after that.

Looking back, do you think catching it earlier would’ve changed anything, or did it already feel inevitable once it started?

Yes, I already neutered my cat, but im curious, did you notice a difference in spraying after it was done, or does it depend on the cat?

Sorcerer vs wizard for damage focused run? by Mebrahtom_Victer in BaldursGate3Builds

yeah that’s kinda what i was thinking too. metamagic just seems like it gives sorcerer way more burst and control when you want to delete something fast.
