The Truth About Cat Urine

by Alison Faria

Cat urine is something that all kitty parents will have to deal with. Of course, the ideal situation is as it is being neatly scooped up from the litter box. However, some cats are a bit more free with their peeing habits. So, after noting this firsthand, here are some reasons I’ve found out why:

A female un-spayed female might urniate outside of the litter box when in heat. A male will do the same thing.

Males who are not neutered will mark their territory by urinating in the corner of rooms, regardless of whether or not it’s mating season.

Cats who think their litter box is too full will urinate somewhere else until the litter box is cleaned.

Stressed cats (this could be from health problems, or a change of residence) will urinate out of nervousness.

If a cat is accidentally shut in a room and has to urinate, it will find a hidden spot and urinate there.

Urination outside of the litter box also happens often in homes with a dog or multiple cats.
