Classic peeing at home

Urinary house soiling periuria in the home is a common but serious behaviour problem in cats. Although many specific risk factors and triggers have been postulated, their importance is largely unknown. This study assessed: 1 the significance of purported risk factors for periuria as well as specifically marking and latrine behaviour in the home; 2 the specificity and sensitivity of signs commonly used to differentiate latrine and marking behaviour. Univariate statistical analyses and non-parametric tests of association were used to determine simple associations. In addition the sensitivity and specificity of four cardinal signs posture to urinate, attempt to cover soiled area, surface chosen and volume of urine deposited were calculated.

It is suggested that the body posture during urination can influence urodynamic parameters in patients with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms LUTS to an extent approaching pharmacological interventions. In this article, the influence of body position during micturition on maximum urinary flow rate Qmax , voiding time TQ and post-void residual volume PVR in healthy males and patients with LUTS is analyzed by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. A systematic search was conducted in 14 medical databases. Studies comparing urodynamic parameters in standing versus sitting position were eligible for inclusion. Studies were stratified according to health status of included male participants: healthy individuals and patients with LUTS.

It can be a bit distressing and frustrating if your cat starts peeing outside the litter box — and there may be many reasons for it! While urine spraying is one of the ways that cats mark their territory, accidents can be a reaction to a stressful situation or a change around the home. Consult a veterinarian to ensure there are no underlying health issues causing the change in your cat's behaviour. That way, you can get your cat any help they need. If your kitty is in full health, the next step is to consider how changes around your home might be causing your cat stress.

You got to give props to artist Richard Jackson for staging an exhibit where attendees could get peed on by a foot-tall Labrador Retriever. In the gift shop, are museum umbrellas flying off the shelf? Jackson's "Bad Dog" sculpture, tacked together from matte-black parts reminiscent of a disassembled stealth bomber , towers above the Orange County Museum of Art with one leg raised in the classic dog-urination stance. Every so often, a spray hose inside the massive canine unleashes a fountain of yellow paint onto the wall of the museum.
