Why does my cat pee around the house?
Cats use their scent to mark their territory. This could mean rubbing themselves on items or “spraying” which unfortunately means peeing around the house. When a cat picks up this behavior it’s usually due to not getting along with another cat. If you live in a house with multiple cats, it’s something to keep an eye on. For a cat to assert their dominance they will mark their territory so the other cat/s know who is in charge. They will usually pick a corner of the room or a side on the wall. Depending on where you live, if there’s outdoor cats that come close to your front or back door, your cat/s may be marking their territory to keep the outdoor cat away. Remember to pay attention to your cat’s behavior when they are spraying: if they seem concerned or in pain it could be the result of a urinary tract infection.
