Animals use different ways to communicate or “talk” with other animals, fellow cats, and humans. The list of their communication methods includes scratching visual signals, and urine spraying.
Yes, you have read that right. Cats use their urine to spread and release their marking signal or scent. These marks indicate meanings and messages for other felines. However, other cats deposit urine not to send messages but to release their full bladder.
How can you tell that your cat deposits urine for instant bladder relief? When your cat squats, releases a certain amount of urine on a horizontal surface and then scratches the area surrounding where she urinated. Cats normally deposit urine inappropriately in sinks, baths, settees, carpets, and duvets.
How can you tell that your cat sprays urine as a form of marking signal? Your cat stands with a treading motion, shakes its tail, then releases a small amount of urine. Cats spray urine on windows, doors, flaps, and curtains.
If your pet’s spray marking behavior bothers you, it is a good idea to talk to your vet Lakewood Ranch, FL about it.
