I'm still dealing with issues with my youngest cat spraying. I had a question because of something that a behaviorist told me once.
She said that they will sometimes spray when they cannot get somewhere, like in frustration or something. He does spray the doors that are closed where he wants to be - the closet, room where my geckos are, etc. And then today I took him for a walk and when we got back inside, he was crying his head off because he wanted to go back outside. Sitting here, I watched him throwing a fit and dig at the door. Then he sprayed it.
I truly do not think it was him smelling another cat outside. He showed no signs of noticing anything while we were outside. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this behavior tied to frustration?
