Urine Marking

Measure your cat stress risk level !

Before visiting the Feliway website, were you already aware of Feliway?

Feline urine spraying is one of the primary methods used by cats to mark out their territory. Whether male or female, neutered or not, it is exhibited in some way by almost every cat.

But while spraying urine outdoors may be acceptable, most owners find the behaviour difficult to tolerate in the home due to the strong odour and potential hygiene risks.

Urine marking is a very specific behavioural sequence where the cat adopts a posture that is easy to recognise:

He approaches a vertical surface (wall, item of furniture…)
He sniffs the surface and is seen to treads the floor
The cat then turns his back
Standing with his tail erected, he emits a horizontal jet of urine onto the object

Marks of urine are generally small and seen above the ground. Urine on the floor, large volumes of urine or urine in the sleeping area are typically not signs of urine marking. It is advisable that you consult your veterinary surgeon.
