Cats have always loved cleanliness. As long as the owners have a little training, cats will consciously urinate in the litter box. However, sometimes, we will be very annoyed to find cats I urinated where it shouldn't, making the interior very unbearable.

Cats with these diseases usually squat on the toilet frequently and urinate very little. If your cat urinates everywhere and is accompanied by symptoms of frequent urination, I hope you will take it to the pet hospital for examination and diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. After the disease was cured, it became a good cat again.

Second, stress urination

It is possible for cats to urinate markedly in response to external stimuli. But there are also stimuli that can cause non-marked urination. The difference between these two urination methods is that the non-marked urination is the same as the cat's usual toilet position, in a semi-squatting shape, and the urine is on the ground. The pathological urination mentioned above also belongs to the non-marking urination. Non-marked urination is not only seen in male cats, but also in female cats. And this stimulated, non-marked urination is generally accompanied by poop everywhere. What stimuli can cause unmarked urination?
