If your cat is peeing on your clothes (or anything, really) this could be the most important article you’ve ever read. I’ve always wanted to own a cat. I remember being a teenager reading books about cats, watching cat videos online, and visiting friends with cats. They seemed like such beautiful creatures. They were so majestic, and seemed like they were such great companions. But there was one problem… My parents wouldn’t let me get a pet… not even a goldfish. So when I got older and moved into my first apartment, one of the first things I did was get a cat. It was an adorable Persian cat named Rocky. I loved petting his soft hair and taking care of him in general. I got Rocky when he was a kitten, so I never had any problems with him spraying anywhere. You can imagine my surprise one day when I go out to run errands and come home to find an absolute disaster. For a lack of better words, my amazing cat Rocky had peed… on everything. Mainly my clothes. Words cannot describe how shocked and confused I was. He was doing great. He was using the litter box and I hadn’t had any problems with him in a long time. That’s when I started doing my research and realized that this is a much bigger problem that I realized. Why Do Cats Pee Everywhere? This is called “spraying” and it usually begins when male cats reach sexual maturity. That means when your cat is about five or six months old (although it can take up to a year for late bloomers), he will most likely do exactly what it sounds like: spray urine everywhere. It’s a territorial mating behavior. Basically your cat is marking his territory with his urine. While it’s completely natural for the cat, it’s a huge inconvenience for the owner, who is left frustrated and confused. Although urine spraying is usually a mating ritual, it can also be a sign of fear, stress, and anxiety. If your kitty is just eight weeks old, he may spray out of panic. I’ve heard horror stories of kittens spraying car windows because they’re scared of car rides.

First, Rule Out a Medical Problem If your cat is peeing on your clothes, rugs, couches, etc. the first step should be to rule out a medical problem, more specifically a urinary tract infection. A cat can’t understand the complexities of this medical problem - they just know that it hurts when they pee in the litter box, so they look for somewhere more comfortable to go. This was my first step when I had my problems with Rocky. I asked a friend who owns several cats and she suggested I go straight to the vet to rule out this problem. I found out that Rocky didn’t have a urinary tract infection, but he was still peeing on my clothes. I was dumbfounded. So I started researching how to get cat pee out of clothes. Here’s why I found... How to Get Cat Pee Out of Clothes If your clothes have been peed on by your cat, there are a few specific steps that you can take to fix the situation. First, soak up the stain. I know it sounds gross, but get as much pee out of your clothes as possible before you actually start treating anything. Then you want to spray white vinegar on the stain. White vinegar is something of a miracle worker - my mom used to use it to clean almost anything. Then take baking soda and rub it on top of the vinegar - when you put these two together it will cause a reaction that foams and takes out the stain. Agitate it a little bit and you should be pleasantly surprised to see that the stain is gone! However, rather than just cleaning all the time, a much better solution would be to prevent your cat from peeing on your clothes in the first place. How to Prevent Spraying?
