I always wondered what my cats were doing! It used to make me nervous because I thought my cat was getting ready to spray--but he never did for the 18 years that I had him.

Cats usually spray for territorial reasons. Triggers need to be found and addressed first. Sometimes there are outside cats that are triggering the situation, or too many cats, not enough vertical territory... many reasons...

Thank you Sheryl.

My cats very often do this behavior and I always check behind them to make sure they did not spray. I won't be going crazy checking behind them anymore 🙂

The only one I have that sprays is a regular domestic shorthair and that seems directly related to what other cats were around at the time.

Thanks Marilyn!

However; they also spray at other times. I will look for the difference. What does it mean when they do spray? Territorial? Mad? I love my girls and two spray; one squats. It's disheartening to say the least but if we aren't supposed to say 'No' or heaven forbid; swat them (I don't strike my animals) then what?
