You might be concerned with how your cat has been displaying unwanted behavior when urinating. Having a good understanding of what exactly your cat is doing would help you and the vet to identify the problem and find an appropriate solution. Urinary problems can stem from health or behavior issues. There is a difference between a cat peeing outside her litter box and a cat engaging in urine spraying.
A cat usually releases more urine when peeing out of her litter box and tends to choose places like the rug or the bed. This can be caused by lower urinary tract diseases or dislike of their litter.
Cat spraying or urine marking tends to happen on vertical surfaces with small amounts of urine. The sprayed urine would have additional pheromones that make it smell stronger. This can be caused by anxiety or stress.
If your pet’s spray-marking behavior bothers you, it is a good idea to talk to your pet clinic Burlington, ON about it.
