Tips to eliminate cat urine-marking

Urine-marking or spraying occurs when a cat backs up to an upright surface or new object and projects a spray of urine backward onto it.  The amount of urine is usually fairly small, and cats who urine-mark may at other times use the litter box.  While objectionable to people, urine-marking is a normal territorial behavior for both male and female cats.  The behavior is usually associated with intact animals, but spayed and neutered cats will sometimes engage in it–even those altered before the onset of puberty.

In the movies, cats love a bowl of cold milk. In the real world, giving a cat milk can do more harm than good.

While milk might seem like a natural choice for your cat, the truth is that cow’s milk offers no nutritional value for cats, and it can cause digestive problems in many. The reason is that most cats develop intolerance to lactose shortly after they are weaned. This means that they are unable to digest the sugars that occur naturally in milk. This causes problems that include diarrhea and other unpleasant digestive problems.
