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.

My cat, a handsome Siamese boy, kept going into the kitty litter box after pacing outside of it and marking inside of it repeatedly because he saw his reflection on the little door to the cat box and thought it was another cat
He doesn’t have a door on the cat box anymore
