So, my intact male has started spraying... ME! He doesn't spray the walls or unfamiliar areas. He has NEVER sprayed anything but me. He sprays my ankles, always when I least suspect. He knows I hate it too, because afterwards he literally runs in place to get the traction necessary to sprint off to his room, which is where he knows I will put him. He is otherwise very loving and lets me pick him up and cuddle and kiss him all day. He has never bitten me. He is always trying to get my attention and grooms me frequently. There are no other pets around. I read online once that if a bunny pees on your pillow, he basically hates you. This is like that times a million. The pee is so stinky too, once I washed it off and went to yoga and realized halfway through that my feet reeked of pee.
Please tell me I am not the only one. Can anything be done other than neutering him?

Try using vinegar to get the pee smell out. Something like Natures Miracle odor and stain remover, works a lot better, but I don't know if this is something you can get where you are. Neutering is the basic way to get him to stop this, since it is hormone driven. But I know how this might not be something you want to do there. All I can think of that might work, is somehow training him not to do it, but since he already knows that he get's in trouble and has a time out when he does it, then I'm not sure how well training will work. You may be able to prevent it from escalating to a spray. They will sometimes make a little honking noise when they are feeling all hormonal, so if you hear it, you could try settling him down, by petting him for a little while to get him calmed down. This may not always preceed a spraying, but it's the only other thing I could think of that might work.
