How Do Cats Spray?
 
Does anyone know from where cats, both male and female, spray from? I know
they're not spraying urine, so where does the spray come from? Thanks.

Thanks, Gail. But doesn't the male (and maybe the female?) back up to spray so
how does the urine spray in that direction instead of frontwards?

I'd like to know that too. I see Shamrock do that in the litterbox.
Stands up with his front paws on the edge of the box, his butt in the
air and pee straight backwards. I think even though it is the
litterbox, he is marking it. He doesn't do it often and usually just
after the boxes are cleaned which leads me to think he's marking. He
overshoots sometimes, too. Gets the wall. :|
