Cat Health

Existing cats may often need an adjustment period when a new pet enters the household. Gradual introduction is often needed.

Urine marking (spraying) is usually a cat's way to mark territory. The marking behavior is most frequently seen in adult males that have not been neutered. Occasionally, it can be an indicator of urinary tract or other disease.
