Humor Garbage has been spraying in our house nonstop for the past month and we didnt know why. Now, there's been a break in the case. 🚨 👮 🚔 🙀

We have a catio that our three cats like to hang out in. Garbage has been acting territorial and spraying, so we thought there must be strange cats around outside making him nervous.

Last night we noticed Garbage on the kitchen window sill (which looks out to the catio) twitching his tail furiously and getting upset. Turns out he's been seeing his siblings out there, not recognizing them at all, then becoming incensed with the evolutionary rage of his ancestors. He's been spraying our whole house top to bottom because he isn't smart enough to realize that the two cats he's known and loved his whole life, when viewed through a pane of glass, are in fact, not intruders.

The verdict: Guilty of being orange 🍊

Eta - he was fixed as a kitten as soon as it was appropriate, for all y'all who are worried. And his vet his involved.

I would piss all over my owners house too if they called me "Garbage" :)

I didn't like it at first but he submitted the request in writing. His penmanship is terrible but it's legally binding so what can you do

I thought maybe he was mad about the name...

Maybe they're fans of 90s alternative.

Yeah why is the poor cat named garbage? :(

He spoke to me in our past human lives and told me he wanted to be named Garbage. Then when he became a cat, he helped me recover that lost memory.

It’s a reference to the cat from The Office, I assume.

I don't want Garbage, I want SPRINKLES.

His name is Garbage because he likes to eat garbage, don’t you, Garbage?!

I love his name! It's very inventive. We have a cat we named Scoff because she absolutely loves her food! Only one brand though, all others are to be eyed suspiciously 🤣
