Yes, female cats can spray. They do this to communicate through scent marking, often by releasing a small amount of urine onto vertical surfaces. Spraying in female cats may be triggered by various reasons including territorial marking, stress, hormonal changes during heat cycles, or reaction to changes in the environment. Both spayed and intact female cats can spray, although intact females may spray more frequently during heat to attract mates. This behavior, although more common in male cats, is normal and can be managed once the underlying cause is understood.
