How clean a cat loves to be, it is obvious to all. Not to mention peeing randomly, even if there is a odor around you, you have to find a way to "bury" it. But even so, what is the case with some female cats urinating randomly? Why does the female cat urinate? Let’s take a look at the reasons why the female cat urinates.

1. Female cats in estrus will have estrus at around 6 months of age. In order to attract the opposite sex, female cats will urinate randomly during the estrus period, providing clues to male cats. At the same time, they will also have characteristics such as irritability, howling in the middle of the night, liking clingy, raising their tails, and willingness to get close to male cats. In this regard, if an adult female cat is in estrus, then if there is a need for breeding, the female cat can be bred. If you are not an adult, it is not recommended to breed, otherwise it will cause difficult labor and miscarriage of the female cat. If there is no need for breeding, you can take the female cat directly for sterilization.

2. Revenge behavior

Some cats will have a revenge mentality after being scolded by their owners, and thus engage in urination. If this is the case, the owner should punish it in time. It is best to catch it on the spot and scold it softly to let the cat know that this is the wrong behavior. At the same time, it is also recommended that the owner teaches the cat to pay attention to methods and avoid causing the cat's rebellious psychology.

3. The cat litter box is not clean

Cats are very clean animals. If the cat litter box has not been cleaned for a long time, they do not like to use the toilet in the cat litter box, which leads to urination. Therefore, the owner must clean the cat litter box in time and keep the cat litter clean and clean. Try not to use cat litter with smell.

4. Suffering from diseases of the urinary system

If a female cat has frequent squatting on the litter box, hematuria, and drip urine, it is likely that she has diseases of the urinary system. Because of urinary urgency, she urinates everywhere, such as urethritis, nephritis, etc. If the owner finds that the female cat has these abnormalities, it is recommended to take it to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
