Mixing Up Essential Oil Cat Repellent

Vinegar as a cat repellent
White vinegar can be used either full-strength or diluted with water to repel cats. If objects or plants could be damaged by applying vinegar full-strength, dilute it with one or two parts water before using it as a deterrent.
Frustration, stress, or anxiety can sometimes cause a cat to change their urinating habits. Any change in their routine, such as a new person in the household or moving house, can lead to changes in urination. They may also “mark” spots in the house with their urine as a means of marking their territory.
Establish a Reward System for Good Behaviour: Encourage your cat with a quiet, calm voice when it uses the litter tray properly, and move it to the litter tray after firmly saying "no" if you find it pooping elsewhere. Keep the Litter Tray Clean: Cats are clean by nature, so they won't want to use a dirty litter box.
If the peeing is happening in just one area, make sure you use FELIWAY CLASSIC Spray on that area at least once daily until the peeing stops. But if your cat has multiple pee-spots across the home, use the FELIWAY Optimum Diffuser in the room where kitty spends most of their time.

You may also notice that your cat deposits urine, usually but not always, on a vertical surface, such as a wall. Your cat can also mark with feces, although this is less common. Cats commonly urine-spray when they want or feel they need to mark their territory, when they feel threatened, or due to a medical condition.
It's medical
If your cat is fully potty trained and suddenly starts to pee on your bed, it could be that there's a medical problem to blame. Issues such as bladder infections, bladder stones, and urinary tract infections can cause your cat to pee outside of the litter box.
For a home remedy, you can use a vinegar solution. According to Yahoo news, the vinegar smell deters cats from peeing in that same spot again and as it evaporates takes the cat urine odor with it.
Another tactic is to make your cat's favourite alternative peeing spot less appealing by spraying it with lemon juice.
If you have an intact male or female cat, getting them spayed or neutered can also help reduce urine spraying.
Cat spraying is intentional and aggressive, meant to mark territories, and peeing is simply when cats relieve themselves. The main known cause of cat spraying is territory marking. Cats have scent glands in their anal area and the goal is to spread the pheromones that carry information to other cats.
You will often see other cats outside spraying urine against bushes, fences and other objects. It is normal behaviour for a cat to spray urine under these circumstances, however, if a cat starts to spray urine indoors this indicates that it doesn't feel secure and that something is causing it to become stressed.
Castration or neutering will change the odor, and may reduce the cat's motivation for spraying, but approximately 10% of neutered males and 5% of spayed females will continue to spray. While cats in multiple cat households are often involved in spraying behaviors, cats that are housed singly may spray as well.
