Cats leave their imprints on the places they dwell or visit in a variety of ways. Cats not only use the scent glands found on their paws, face, cheeks, and tail to mark their territory, but they also use their urine for marking. Scratching and cheek rubbing are also kinds of marking. The cat does these to signal to the others that it has been there, and the scent stays even after a long time that it has gone.
Cats mark their area to demonstrate ownership and also to express sexual availability and receptivity. Other cats, whether outside or among the same household, can trigger cats to mark.
Cats also mark their territory when frightened or stressed. Changes in home habits, composition, new living places, new living arrangements, and other social and environmental can all cause this. In these instances, the cat may mark the new things added to the household or family members' property. Urine is frequently discovered in conspicuous spots or at access and egress to the outside. The most common areas to find this is near doorways and windows because this is a technique of distinguishing their territory. When cats are outside, they tend to mark the perimeter of their property, notable things on the property, and new objects added to the property. They even mark areas other cats have marked.
If your pet’s spray marking behavior bothers you, it is a good idea to talk to your vet Fort Collins, CO about it.
