Professional Cat Wranglers: Help Needed

One of the SO's cat, a crazy assed Maine-Coon summamabith, likes to piss at the front door whenever he doesnt get what he wants. That includes when you leave the house, sleep late, dont let him outside to play in time......

Any recs on what to do to help "cure" this cat of his behavioral disorder?

He wants to go outside? okie dokie. He'll stay in the yard, so I'm just gonna leave him out there for a while....what's that, storm clouds on the horizon...

1. These work wonders

Combine them with Feliway spray and maybe that will get kitty to behave.

2. I just got an injection for my Maine Coon that is supposed to help

It's territorial...he is marking his boundaries. Get yourself some Nature's Miracle and clean it up. My own Maine Coon (sweetheart) has a more comprehensive territorial assertion plan. I had (until yesterday) five cats and he pissed in each of their sleeping places AND MY OWN BED! Over and over. The vet recently gave him an injection that is supposed to ease up his territorial instincts...whatever it is is conjugated into estrogen in he liver and it has only been a couple of days so I can't say for sure what hidden pockets of piss I will find but my own bed is blissfully dry and reek-free for the moment. If you want to know the name of this product please PM me to remind me to ask my vet.

3. Ambush him with a garden hose!

Works best if you team up and do it from both sides!

4. I dont think cats understand punishment, we've tried squirt bottles

when he climbs the curtains and he just looks around, "huh, wha where's that water coming from? oh well, back to the curtains"
