A cat's penis is situated quite close to the anus, but bizarrely, it is also pointed backwards. This allows the male cat to spray urine directly onto vertical surfaces in order to mark territory - unlike male dogs, which have to lift a rear leg in order to mark territory on a vertical surface.

Because of this unique positioning, it means that all male cats have to squat in order to urinate.
