There are two types of questions that are sent to me time and again, week after week, by different people each time. The question above is representative of one of them. The other boils down to “why do dogs eat poop?”.

There is no doubt about it: inappropriate urination and coprophagia are big-time concerns for plenty of people.

There are many reasons why cats urinate inappropriately. You can find out all about it at my website. Go to
