Spray-marking in cats is normal. These furry species do this endeavor to achieve several goals, one is to indicate ownership. But did you know that they mark territories or objects through numerous ways and not only one?
Yes, that is right. Cats may mark using their urine or cheeks depending on the circumstances. Studies have found that felines mark using their cheeks (bunting) familiarly and calmly. And these species will be less likely to mark the same areas with their urine. Meanwhile, cats mark using their urine anxiously and reactively. Your cat will not spray in her sleeping, scratching, or feeding areas.
As a fur parent, you may allow your cat at least one or two places at home for marking. Here is how to do it:
- Place a shower curtain vertically
- Tile the area or position two plastic litter boxes that together form an L-shape
If you have concerns about your pet’s litter box habits, make an appointment with your veterinary clinic Lakewood Ranch, FL.
