Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / June 2006Female Spraying - is this possible?
I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old. She is fixed or spayed I believe it is called. Can she still spray? I have seen her back her hinder up to a wall, tail high in the air, and then shake it like crazy. I rush over to see if she sprayed the wall and it is dry. What is she doing? Thanks for any help you can provide. I am a first time cat owner. > I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old. She is fixed or spayed I > believe it is called. Can she still spray?

Pretending. :)  Signature-- ~kaeli~ If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take for a monkey with a wooden leg to kick the dill seeds out of a pickle? http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace > > I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old.

ONe of my girls does it when I am in the bathroom. She seems to like the cool of the porcelain, but it is definitely when she is purring, happy, has my undivided attention. However, since this kitty is new and it is not in the same situation of purring and being pet, I wonder if it is just an instinctual thing. > I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old.

She has my undivided attention and is purring like crazy. She doesn't stay still for me to really get a good scratch in before she rubs against the wall or couch and then does her tail thing. I'm hoping it is and will just stay "happy tail"! > That is what I call 'happy tail'. ONe of my girls does it when I am in the > bathroom.

I'm hoping it is and will just stay "happy tail"! OH yeah, well then it is the same thing. Yup. Happy tail. THey don't all do it, but some do and I have found they are usually girls. > That is what I call 'happy tail'. ONe of my girls does it when I am in the > bathroom.

Demelza does it, but it doesn't involve backing up to a wall. Just the super-quivery "I'm so happy I can't stand it!" tail. Cathy > > I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old.

I am a first time cat owner. Yes, spayed females can spray. Jennifer (RB) started doing this when she was older (15 or 16). Unfortunately for me, the wall was not dry after her visits, but at least it didn't have a strong smell. >I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old. She is fixed or spayed I > believe it is called.

My friend uses covered litterboxes, so the cat ends up peeing on the side of the cover. She wonders if that little habit is why the cat ended up at the shelter in the first place. With her litterbox solution, though, it's not a problem. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca >> I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old.

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully enough. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca > >> I just adopted a female cat - 7 years old.

My little 4 month old kitten does the same thing and I'd like very much to know exactly just what she is doing. lol. She is also spayed, and when she does it, she doesn't emit anything, no smell or liquid, just shakes her little tail and rear end like crazy! HELP! |
