Is it urination or spraying? 🐱 URINATION (or PEEING) ▶Cat is emptying his bladder. ▶Cat is in a squatting position. ▶Cats pee on a horizontal surface, such as a litter box, carpet, rug, grass, etc. ▶If a litter box is provided, cats will choose to use it. ▶If a cat is refusing to use a litter box, evaluate if the litter box is to his liking (see our litter box post). SPRAYING ▶Spraying is a form of scent marking (i.e. urine marking). ▶To mark their territory. ▶Cats ready for mating will also do this. ▶Conflict between cats (indoor/outdoor) ▶Stressed or insecure cats will likely do this to make the surrounding environment smell familiar to them. ▶Spraying is done in a standing position, tail lifted straight up and may quiver. ▶Cats mark on a vertical surface, such as trees, walls, the sides of furnitures. ▶Male and female cats can spray. ▶This is not a litter box issue.
