Primarily, cats spray to mark their territory. However, cats usually perform this behavior outdoors- so if your furry friend is spraying in your home it could be due to external stressors. If your cat is spraying on areas that lead outside, such as door and window frames, they could be frightened by something they saw outside. If the spraying occurs on chair legs, tables, etc., it could mean that they’re feeling insecure. To stop this behavior, don’t reprimand- that will only stress them more. Instead, foster an environment of support for them, by securing their spaces from other cats, slowly adapting them in the case of a move or even just leaving a toy for them in all the rooms they visit.
