Cat Health

Cats are very behavioural animals and if you find your cat urinating everywhere then there is a reason for this change in behaviour.

Cats are fun pets to have and owners love having them but the problem with them is that they want to be treated like loyalty otherwise they'll start to act up. Cats can't talk so the way they communicate is via meowing because they can't tell us properly what is wrong and because we don't understand this method of communication they try even further by urinating. This can be down to many reasons; stress, medical issues or maybe just because your cat doesn't like something in the house.

Your pet cat is very territorial and they like to think of themselves as the head of the family/household. The way they do this is by rubbing themselves against tables, sofas, the carpet, bedding and other places in the house (even on you!). If you've seen this behaviour before you may think that your cat is itching or just wants some affection but instead when they rub themselves against something they are really spreading around their scent on those objects.

What this does is create a level of comfort for your pet where they just feel safe. However if you break this level of comfort then you can stress out your cat and cause them to act up. When I say change I mean things like:

Bringing new pets into the houseBuying new furnitureHaving a guest stay overHaving a new family memberLosing a family memberBuying new clothes

These are just a few things that will break the level of comfort in your home. Let's take for example having a guest over in the house.

What a new person in the house does is brings in new scents to the house and if they stay for a while then your cat will feel like someone is violating their territory. The way a cat will adapt to this could be to urinate on the bedding that the guest sleeps on so that your pet once again has the most dominant smell in the house. This is a message to the guest that they have overstayed their welcome in your pets opinion.

The same goes for new clothes, you may find that your cat will urinate on new clothes since they are going to break the level of comfort in the house.

Cats are territorial animals and they will prove this by urination. If you find that your cat is peeing outside the litter box a reason to this may be because they feel threatened in their territory so be careful when bringing in new smells into the house.

This isn't the only reason your cat will be peeing everywhere; they could be stressed, unhappy, ill and other reasons so don't rule out the other options why you will find your cat urinating everywhere.
