Thanks ACE. Chauncy (my black cat) thanks you too. Although it did stop him (so far) from spraying in my roommate's bathroom. And his fur now has red highlights.
Thanks for the welcome!

Please call me DD, everyone else does. Well nearly everyone else, I don't think I've quite meet all 50,000 of us yet. But I'm working on it.

Sympathy for the cat??? How would you like to have to mop up pee four nights a week?
I have known more than one animal trainer who has used the device of urinating on an animal to assert domination and deter bad behavior. Such an act is simply mimicing a method of domination which oft occurs between such creatures, and is actually much kinder (and more successful) than many other modes of punishment. At the very least, it's something that the cat will understand.
So there.

Ignore HepKittn DD, she is my roommate and her cat ire knows no bounds. But it did get her sucked into h2g2 -- Ha HA! My master plan worked! Checked out your page briefly.
Ireland huh? Need to go there. My ancestors jumped ship during the famine and the troubles because of all the things the English did to us for 800 years. Since I'm also English too this is really confusing to me. Add the Italian in there with the Romans battling the Celts and just for laughs there is the Germans. Yeah, the barbarian mercs who fight with anyone - you can see why I walk around in a state of confusion and self-loathing.
Thank God for San Francisco where all I have to worry about is the fog and whether roving mobs of Drag Queen's will tie me down and do my hair. I always keep hoping but they haven't shown up yet.
Since I saw your picture, here is my other website http://www.geocities.com/dre_sargent I'm the redhead (Ivy) with the Irish name not to be confused with the other chick with the same name but without my Irish looks.

I thought the whole idea of a pet was companionship not a portable/upwardly mobile urinal !?

Don't be silly... That's not the point. You make it sound as if piddling on kittens was a regular habit as opposed to a disciplinary tool. You also make it sound as though our cats are not loved, adored, and well cared for. I can most assuredly say that such is not the case.
So tell me, how would you stop a cat from peeing on a regular basis where he ought not?
I'd rather go with advice from animal trainers, as opposed to public (mis)perception. It does seem yo have worked thus far...
