Cat Urine Marking

Tips to eliminate cat urine-marking

Urine-marking or spraying occurs when a cat backs up to an upright surface or new object and projects a spray of urine backward onto it.  The amount of urine is usually fairly small, and cats who urine-mark may at other times use the litter box.  While objectionable to people, urine-marking is a normal territorial behavior for both male and female cats.  The behavior is usually associated with intact animals, but spayed and neutered cats will sometimes engage in it–even those altered before the onset of puberty.

Forever In My Heart
