A female cat, just like a male cat, can and will spray when on heat, or feel their territory is being threatened. They spray very strong-smelling urine to communicate with other cats in the area.

If you get a female cat will it spray in your house if it is the only cat in the house?

Answer: Only male cats spray so you won't have any trouble with your female cat.Answer:Actually, both genders will, and do, spray. An intact (not neutered) female cat usually doesn't spray as much as an intact male, but they will spray to advertise themselves to any passing male that they are on heat and ready to mate.If your cat is spayed, and hasn't got any history of spraying, then it is very unlikely that she will spray at all.


Is getting a male kitten OK if you already have an adult female cat?

It depends on if your female cat is sterilized or not. Also, keep in mind that male cats spray or mark their territory and are more likely to do so in a home with multiple cats.
