How do u stop cats frm marking its territory? I tried all commercial products with NO LUCK! PLEASE HELP ME!?

They are female cats they both are marking. Nothing has changed in the house. I show equal attention to both. one is adventerous and roams the house and is laid back, the other is timid and has to leap across doorways and also stayes in one room and maybe once a month will go into a different room and stay for 15 mins or so, no matter how much I reassure her. I have taken up all the carpet and I am now down to the subflooring. I LOVE my 2 cats but I am truly loosing my mind (picture me in TRILOGY that would be an accurate image of me) HELP ME!
Answers:
Are your cats spayed? Unspayed cats who are under hormonal stress will mark their territory by spraying. If they aren't spayed, I'd highly recommend getting that done.

If your cats are already spayed, the first thing you'll need to do is to take them to the vet - urinary infection &/or urinary crystals are the most common cause for cats to start going outside of their boxes. People usually associate this problem with males, but it can happen to females too - it's happened to 2 of my female cats before. Tell the vet what's going on, and ask for urinalysis testing on your cats. If one (or both) of your cats is ill, she's in pain and can't help going out of the box occasionally - behavioral remedies will be useless until she's treated for the urinary health problems. Cats are good at hiding illness and pain (it's a survival tactic), so often the only clue you'll get that your cat may have urinary health problems is out-of-the-box urination.

If they check out OK at the vet, it's possible that something about the litterbox itself, the litter, the box location, etc. is bothering them. See these links for suggestions:

Those links don’t mention it, but I highly recommend Cat Attract litter for helping with litter box problems. It can be found at most pet supply stores. Another thing to consider is the possibility that if your litter box has been in use for some time, the plastic may have absorbed odors – try replacing it with a new box to see if that helps.

Stress can cause inappropriate urination - cats can be stressed sometimes by things that we don't even notice, until we know what to look for. This article explains stress in cats & how to address it:

A Feliway Comfort Zone diffuser can help a great deal with stress & litterbox issues: http://www.petcomfortzone.com/czcats.htm...

This link has extensive "out-of-the-box" resources: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/point...

You’ll also need to make sure that all previously soiled spots are cleaned with an enzyme cleaner, so the cat won’t be lured there again. This link has excellent urine spot locating and cleanup info: http://www.thecatsite.com/care/48/combat...
It's a 2-page article (the link to the second page at the bottom may be a little difficult to spot).

For your fearful kitty, you may want to see this link:

Hope this helps!
are they spayed if not do so and that will cure your problem if not you have females no matter what their animals and want to prove whose in charge
if she is going in the sameplace try a scat mat it worked wonders for mine
You might find one of them a new home or give each one separate parts of the house
Get them "fixed". Both of my cats are fixed and neither one of them "mark their territory". It also prevents unwanted kittens.
have you tried giving them a place where they are allowed to mark their territory? my friend takes her cat on walks outside to do so...and my other friend lets her cat do so in the litter box...also, giving the cats each their own territory can help...a rug in the corner of a room with a bunch of toys that have their scent on them, separate litter boxes, and separate food/water dishes...mine has a kitty tower and a window perch (if you don't have a window perch-get one-cat's love them!)
contrary to popular belief: if your cats have already started marking then getting them fixed won't stop the behavior-they will continue to mark territory even after the operation because marking has become a learned behavior that only proper training can fix
GET THEM SPAY AND THEY WILL STOP
1) How old are they? 2) have they been spayed? Both of these factors will come into why the cats are doing what they do.
learn about this, and a lot of interesting things at these GREAT sites:

hope these are helpful
I have had this problem with my male cat and it all stopped when I got him fixed. I would hope it works the same on females also. All that commercial junk, in my eyes, is just a kimpic. To place you without that dollar.
Do you have litter boxes available:? Do they use them? Are they spayed? Did you change litter?

Females don't usually mark terrritory in a house. And it would be unusual for 2 cats to be doing it at the same time.

There may be a medical reason for it. They may have urinary stones, which are painful (which is why they avoid the litterbox...they associate it with pain) and they 'go' all over the house. They need medicine from the vet if that is the case before they become blocked. A change in diet probably would be necessary too.

I would call your vet and discuss the possiblity with him.
they need to be 'fixed'
Spay them both, then while you are at the vet ask him about this so he can check for UTI amongst other things that can cause this.
Get them spayed,thats what im going to have to do to my boy kitten so he wont do that!
#1) If they are both spayed then it's not always the case that one is marking their territory. My 9 year old female sometimes pees on stuff b/c she's afraid to go past my male to get to the litter box. (I've caught him peeing on stuff in front of her to prove he's the boss.) I've watched her head toward the box then turn around and run back to avoid him along the way. I've caught them both in the act so here is a classic case of submission and aggression resulting in 2 pee-ers.

#2) There may a health issue on your hands. Even though males are more prone to UTI's, females can get them too. My Sebastian started peeing on stuff and that's when I found out he was in the early stages of renal failure.

#3) Another cat of mine would pee next to her box and on other things as well. I tried every litter there was; clay, scoop, newspaper, pine, etc. until I found one she was content with and I've had no problems since (Johnny Cat clay for some reason).

Other possible issues: Don't fill the box too high with litter. Don't use a self cleaning box or a hooded box b/c a lot of cats are scared of them. Keep your litter boxes clean at all times. In my old apartment, my female kept peeing in 1 single spot. I put a litter box there and problem solved! (She was letting me know where she wanted the box to be located. Unfortunately it was in front of the closet but I loved her and it solved the problem so it was ok with me.)

One of these suggestions should work if of course your cats are spayed.
