I just know that they back up to a vertical object, lift and twitch their
tails, and spritz some urine marking it. Just like the "big" cats do. Gail "PawsForThought" wrote in message ... It is urine sprayed on vertical surfaces. Gail 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? ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Gail Thanks, Gail. I'm just wondering anatomically how they do it. Speaking of big cats, I remember I was at the zoo one time when a lion back up and sprayed out towards the people. He must have sprayed a good 20 feet! Hi Lauren, Anatomically, the cat's penis is angled backward, not forward; i.e. it is pointed toward the tail which also explains why the urine streams downward or slightly backward when male cats squat to pee.

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. They _are_ spraying urine. To be sesquipedalian about it cats are retromingus, which means they pee backwards. They also do a lot of tail vibrating at the same time, which means to me that they like to do it. A cat can really hose down the object he is marking. |
