Norwegian Forest Cat

　　Cats exhibit territory marking behavior mainly because of their territorial awareness. Cats will urinate around their territory to leave their scent, letting other cats know that this is their area. This behavior is usually more obvious in unneutered cats. How can we correct cats' territory marking behavior?

　　1. Neutering

　　Usually, cats in heat show more severe territory marking. Owners can have their cats neutered. After neutering, cats' territorial and mating instincts decrease, so the corresponding spraying behavior also reduces.

　　2. Litter Box

　　Cats are very clean animals. Some cats may urinate outside the litter box, possibly because the litter box is too dirty or its location is not private enough. Cats usually prefer to urinate in concealed spots, so owners can try moving the litter box or changing the cat litter.

　　3. Unpleasant Odors

　　Some cats like to urinate on their owner's bedding, which is hard to train against. Owners can place things cats dislike to deter them, such as orange peels or pomelo peels. These items emit smells that cats dislike, so they will avoid those areas.

　　4. Forced Training

　　Not all cats are sensitive to smells, so sometimes deterrents are not very effective, and owners need to train their cats forcibly. Some say using a water spray works, but the editor does not recommend this method. Owners can use scolding or gentle tapping to train their cats. Cats are intelligent animals and will understand after some training.(Source：PetsZone)
