What To Do About a Cat Who Pees Vertically Behind Himself?

2026/04/20

#300: Stephen Quant of https://catbehaviorhelp.com/ often gets consulted about a cat peeing on vertical surfaces, usually by backing up to the area in question. Often with a high and quivering tail. The cat will then shoot a stream of urine on the vertical surface. Stephen explains that this is not intended as urination, but is actually spraying as a territorial marker, so he explains ways to reduce the cat's need to do that.

2026/03/30

This gives Good Samaritans a chance to actually really save the kittens by taking them home to feed and care for them long enough for the kittens to eat solid food and have a real chance at finding homes.

Are Orange Cats Friendliest? Or Is It In Your Imagination?

2026/03/23

#296: Mikel Maria Delgado of https://felineminds.com/ explains how cat lovers tend to have a bias towards certain colors of cats and have (mistakenly) ascribed personality traits to colors that they are projecting onto cats. In fact, a cat's temperament is not genetically linked in any way, but a cat's personality can be influenced by their gender. Dr Delgado explains how that works — but she and Tracie urge everyone to view each kitty as an individual with their own bag of attributes.

Expecting? “Borrow” a Baby to Acclimate Your Cat!

2026/01/12

#286: Stephen Quandt (https://catbehaviorhelp.com/) says the time to get your cat ready for the new sights, sounds and smells of a newborn are before your baby comes home. Get a recording of baby crying sounds and play it quietly at first then increase the volume. Elevate the cat’s food and water bowls in anticipation of an eventually crawling baby. Bring in all the baby furniture and equipment you can and let the cat investigate it. And if you know someone with a babe in arms, ask them to come over and let your cat see and hear it.

My 12 year old cat actually passed two weeks ago from cancer. It started in one of her mammary glands and spread down her left side. Sadly even though...
