A cat urinating outside its litter box is rarely acting out of "spite." Frequently, this behavior indicates a painful lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) or feline interstitial cystitis.
Staff are trained to spot early signs of fear, such as lip-licking, whale-eye (showing the whites of the eyes), or a tucked tail, stopping before the animal panics.
