Cats with [[Inappropriate Elimination - Cat|inappropriate elimination problems]] usually deposit larger volumes of urine at each site than cats with [[Indoor Marking - Cat|marking]] problems. However, cats with LUTD will leo pass only small volumes of urine at each of multiple sites. Likewise, cats with chronic diarrhoea. However, the choice of location will still fit with normal defecation.

===Posture of Cat and Orientation of Deposits===

===Posture and Behaviour of the  Cat===

The posture of the cat can help in the differentiation process, since [[Indoor Marking - Cat|indoor urine spraying]] is usually associated with a [[Feline Communication Behaviour#Spray Marking|characteristic stance]]. This is related to the function of the marking behaviour since a standing posture allows the cat to deposit urine on a vertical surface at just the correct height for another cat to sniff at it and take in the important information.
