Does your cat mark her territory?

You have a cat in your life who you love very much. Your little fur ball enjoys spending time with you and you want her to consider your living space her home as well. This makes you wonder – does your pet mark her territory?

 

Your cat still harbors a lot of instinctual behavior from her ancestor’s time in the wild even though she has a comfortable place to live under your roof. This means that she is very likely to take the time to mark her territory even if you haven’t noticed her doing so directly. The most likely routes for her to take in doing so would be to scratch on things to leave behind visual markers and to take the time to leave behind scent markers for other animals to take note of. Your local animal hospital Des Moines, IA can help you offer your pet a wonderful place to call home.
