Why do American Curls Spray?

pet clinic Virginia Beach VA

Did you know that cats tend to spray urine as a way to mark their territory? This is a common and instinctive behavior for both the male and female cat. However, if your American Curl is constantly spraying or is dripping urine excessively then call your vet right away. Abnormal spraying could be a symptom of an illness. Urine spraying is more common in non-neutered males living in multi-cat homes. Unlike dogs, cats tend to go off on their own and rarely hunt, eat, or sleep in groups. Cats often keep to themselves marking territories for their own. The urine marking not only tells other cats the area is claimed, but it also gives other cats an idea of when the original cat owner will return. Cats do share territories, but never at the same time. General spraying is your American Curl’s way of leaving a message for other cats. If you’d like to know more, call your pet clinic Virginia Beach, VA.
