Hi Lindsay...cats become sexually mature around 5-7 months and although female cats can spray urine, it isn't as common as in male cats who are not neutered.

I looked this question up and cannot find anything. All I know is that male cats start spraying when they come into sexual maturity. Female cats don't usually spray, especially if spayed..but they can. I have a 5 year old female cat that sprays and has been since she was young.

Most often, cats who spray are reproductively intact males (toms) but females do sometimes spray. Neutering is the most effective way to curb spraying in a tomcat. In one study, 77 percent of cats stopped or significantly reduced spraying within six months of being neutered. Neutered cats can spray as well. Ten percent of male cats neutered before 10 months of age will still spray as adults. In households with numerous cats, at least one cat will likely spray, even if all the cats are neutered.

Any cat can spray and it usually indicates the cat marking it's territory.
Cat spraying usually happens between 5 and 12 months.

Females don't spray, they come into heat, which mainly involves a lot of purring and crying, and rolling around on the floor. Most cats get their first heat around 5-6 months of age. They should be spayed (desexed) as soon as the vet says they are old and large enough to do so to prevent them from having to suffer through heats.

Female cats do not generally spray, male cats do. If your female cat is spraying, or urinating anywhere except the litter box, see the vet immediately, it may be a problem like a urinary infection.

Females don't spray. Males do. A female can go into heat as early as 6 months old though and the behaivor can be anything from walking funny to backing up with their bum in the air to whining.

female cats don't spray only the males does. if your cat started spraying she might have a urinary problem like infection or bladder stones. this happened to one of my cats and have yaken her to the vet for treatment. first we thought it was just an infection but she continually does that till one day she was urinating with blood and we found out the she's got stonesd in her bladder and straight away i asked my vet to proceed with the surgery. so please don't wait any longer and take your cat to the vet for examination...
