Hello, it's me again
My cat Helmut is a 5 y.o. neutered Birman boy, he has a little brother since a few months, whom he first disliked but now they are inseparable.
Helmut is the difficult one, easily stressed but otherwise perfectly healthy, he is regularly checked by a vet.
But today, as we were sitting altogether - he stood next to us and just sprayed the wall in perfect confidence. I never had cats who sprayed, Helmut wa sone of them, so I am a bit confused, maybe somebody can help pinpoint this?
Currently whe have my partner's little teen Brother over (who stresses me out as well), so I imagine its territorial behaviour? Helmut literally wnet up to the wall next to the brother and sprayed. It seemed very intentional. He never did that though when my two young siblings stayed for a few nights, he seems to like them a lot.
Another thing I imagine, is that since I am very stressed by the boy as well, Helmut copied my mood?
Helmut wasnt punished, I just cleaned up and put him in his bed.
Pls send me thoughts and maybe your own experiences!
