Hormones and territory

 

Hormones and territory

 

Naturally when there are two cats that compete for scanty resources – space and food- increase the territorial aggressions. And the hormones also recover his role. Not neutered males need to dominate more space; that's why their trend to fight with other males who cross in his way. The nursing cats do not need too much space, but they defend energetically theirs. The sterilized cats of both sexes are the less territorial and the physical contact with other cats is friendlier. For this, the castration is an effective way of reducing the fights in the males.

If his territory is big, the cat cannot be in all the places simultaneously, for what he leaves marks of his presence crossing it often and urinating in the limits. These marks of smell indicate other cats the sex and the hormonal "status" of the one that has left them, as well as the route and the hour of his visit. He does marks with the nails in trees and fences to leave visible and olfactory signs and, sometimes, he leaves excrement without covering, as one more notice. This one-as to urinate to mark his zone- is a normal behavior for a cat, although it turns into a problem when he does it inside house or in the garden of the neighborhood.
