A Case-Controlled Comparison of Behavioural Arousal Levels in Urine Spraying and Latrining Cats.

It is often suggested that both latrining and spraying in the home are associated with increased stress in cats. However, the scientific evidence for this is weak. We therefore examined faecal cortisol metabolite (FCM) levels in subjects using a case-control design.
