Why Does My Cat Pee in the Car?
Cats are puzzling, aren't they?
So when your furry pal pees in your car, it leaves you wondering.
It could be territorial problems. Your cat might feel threatened by other animals, prompting them to mark their turf with pee.

Anxiety while traveling or underlying health issues may also contribute to this behavior.
Infections, kidney problems, diabetes, or thyroid troubles can all cause improper urination.
To solve this mystery, consulting a vet is your best bet. They'll examine your cat and conduct tests to find the root cause.
But wait, there's more!
Changes in behavior or avoidance of the litter box can also add to your cat's bathroom antics in the car. Don't forget about stress and marking territory.
