Cat spraying everything

by TR hilton
(John Day, OR USA)

This is our dog buddy and our 7 month old male Bobcat "Tuff". Well our cat seems to like to mark us, the dog and the other cats. She is a 2.5 year old Bobcat named nala and we have had her from age 10 days until now. If she is made at you she will come up a pee on you and when she seems happy she might just come up and mark you. Just a litte spray not a drenching stream of urin or anything like that. We have a few other house cats and another male Bobcat that is 7 months old also, and she marks him too. She does it when she is mad and when she is happy. Whats up?

Hi
A Cat will scent like this when they are feeling a little anxious and want to marl their territory which includes people and other pets too.

I assume all the pets in the home are spayed / neutered if not then this could cause some tension.

Cats are not naturally pack animals so there may be some anxiety caused by living with other animals.

The other option is has there been any recent changes in the home or have there been new animals moving into the area? This could cause the current need for this cat to urinate every where.

You could try some of the medications to try and help your cat to relax. see this page for more on this
