Too much marking, or just enough?

[litheandgraphic]

Hey guys!  

So, I’ve noticed lately that although Theodore’s litterbox skills are generally perfect, he does seem to be urinating around his area quite a bit, in the same particular spots. I’m wondering if I’m stressing him out, so that he’s marking everywhere to make sure HIS territory is defined. Notably, we have been introducing him to the cat lately, and I have a really bad habit of replacing dishes or frozen waterbottles while he’s still in his pen. He’s not at ALL aggressive as far as territorial behavior goes.

Or, is this just normal? 

Let me know your thoughts!

He probably is marking so the cat knows that this is “his space.” If this is the case, he should go back to his normal habits once he is comfortable with the cat.
