My Lily has started SPRAYING!!

Glad to hear I'm not alone with this one! However, Tracey and smokey the elder, I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with something similar!

So far, there was no other spraying incident, but I called my vet and told her about the problem. I will try to get a urine sample to be on the safe side, but she thinks it's more a behaviour thing as Lily seems to be getting into alpha mode.

(...) When a cat does the quiver tail without spraying, this happens because they're overcome with emotion towards their owner or even just another person that they've become very fond of.

(...)

I looked up quiver tail again and this is what it says about it: When a cat is very excited and happy to greet its owner he will hold his tail straight in the air and it will quiver or twitch. This is the cat's way of saying he is so pleased to see you that he is overcome with emotion.

This is actually very cute!

Last night Alani sprayed again right in front of me. This was also shortly after I plugged in new feliway plugins with their new adapters. I noticed that his pee pee area does look a bit red so maybe he is in pain. I was able to make an appt. for him this Sat. at 2pm and Blaze will be going in too. Blaze has been having diarrhea problems and needs to be seen for a regular check up any way. Alani will be checked out again and most likely have a urinalysis done. These boys have been stressing me out lately so I hope that things will return to normal soon.

I hope that Lily continues to do well with no more spraying problems. Good luck.
