Why does the cat urinate randomly?

Cat peeing can be a behavioral problem caused by a variety of reasons. Here are some common causes and solutions:

1. Urinary tract infection or stones: Urinary tract infection or stones can cause cats to urinate frequently or painfully, leading to random urination behavior. If you find that your cat is peeing outside the diaper box, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent licking of the vagina, hematuria, etc., it is recommended to seek immediate medical examination and treatment according to the veterinarian's recommendations.

2. Box issues: Your cat may not like the location, size, cleanliness, or type of filling in the diaper box. Make sure the diaper box is clean, clean it daily, use fragrance-free cat litter, and place the diaper box somewhere your cat can easily access and is quiet.

3. Vertical Marking: Urinating behavior may also be a sign of cats engaging in vertical marking, which is a behavior of marking territory with urine or showing restlessness or stress. Consider providing more vertical space, such as a cat tree or wall shelf, to accommodate your cat's needs and create a stable, safe environment.

4. Stress or change: Cats may react differently to stress and changes in the home, including urinating behavior. Make sure your cat feels safe and stable, and that potential stressors are managed and mitigated appropriately.

5. Medical problems: Certain health problems, such as diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid problems, may also cause incontinent peeing. If you suspect your cat's urination is related to a medical problem, see your veterinarian for an examination and diagnosis.

Importantly, if your cat is exhibiting urinary behavior, it is crucial to seek medical attention early and rule out any underlying health issues. At the same time, after determining the cause of the behavioral problem, take appropriate corrective measures according to the specific situation, and provide an appropriate environment and care to help improve the cat's peeing behavior.
