Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Say It, Don't Spray It

It's every cat owner's nightmare—when a beloved clothing item gets sprayed with a pungent liquid. However, spraying is distinct from regular urination. When a cat sprays, it positions itself against a vertical surface in a standing posture and releases fluid openly, rather than squatting in a hidden area like a litter box.

Both male and female cats engage in spraying, typically indicating that they feel threatened, territorial, or stressed due to changes in their environment. Spraying is a way for cats to send a message, almost like a "pee"-mail!
