Urine marking inside the home and toileting in unwanted places are common problems among the feline population, much to the displeasure of their owners, who often see this as a deliberate act of malice.

In actuality, these behaviours often indicate the cat is unhappy and needs help and understanding. In these cases, the cat’s welfare is compromised, and this talk discusses why this is may be so.

We will also look at the potential underlying causes, as well as treatment strategies that improve the cat’s welfare while encouraging more suitable toileting habits.
