we just moved to a new apartment community... my cat insists on holding his pee and poop in until i get him outside in his halter and leash for walkies - then he sprays... sprays... sprays... on plants, parked cars, lamp posts... can it be he is just marking territory since there are a lot of residents who walk their dogs here... OR please, can it be a sign of something more sinister like kidney disease?

Marking his new territory - there could be other male cats aroung who have sprayed, or if he's not desexed then there could be a female cat around.
Be thankful - I once had a cat who liked to spray on my legs to mark me as his territory!!! Thankfully, the day he got desexed he stopped spraying and never sprayed again, or his next trip may have been to a new home.

the area of the urine could desire to assist you be responsive to if she is spraying or now not. while cats spray, the urine is going onto vertical surfaces - partitions, ends of fixtures, etc. If she (oddly) got here approximately to be prestige interior the middle of the room and spraying, the urine could desire to be in an oblong variety on the flooring. Squatting to urinate could desire to impression in a puddle on a horizontal floor (flooring, chair, bag on the flooring, etc.). the two is additionally accomplished to mark, in spite of the shown fact that. definite, this is great that she is maximum suitable moving into "her" room. No approach to recognize what it way for specific, in spite of the shown fact that i might wager she is claiming that as hers and telling the choice cat(s) to adhere out. convenience Zone diffuser is additionally clever for marking. improving the relationship she has with the others interior the family could desire to help, as sturdy. supply her added concentration and a few incredibly yummy treats or catnip whilst the choice cats are around. do not grant her lots, if any, whilst the cat is in yet yet another room. She'll with any success quickly look forward to the choice cat being around. A examine up with the vet isn't a bad thought, the two.

this is a territorial thing. most guy cats that are NOT neutered do this, it's so if another animal comes and smells that then it knows he can't use it as his property, it's natural though. If you are concerned though the best thing to do is go and ask the vet or go to petsmart or petco and ask for infomation!

Just marking his territory.
If he starts marking inside or missing his litter box, get him checked for an infection.
