Are cats territorial animals and how do they mark their territory?
1 Answer
Cats are territorial animals and use scent marking to claim their territory. Cats have scent glands located in their cheeks, forehead, and paws. When cats rub their cheeks and forehead against objects, they leave behind a scent mark that other cats can detect. They also use their paws to scratch objects and leave behind their scent. Additionally, cats can urinate and defecate in certain areas to mark their territory.
