House soiling is a common problem for cat owners. There are generally two types, [[Inappropriate Elimination - Cat|inappropriate elimination]] and [[Indoor Marking - Cat|indoor marking behaviour]]. It is important to differentiate between them to identify the route of the problem, but they can also be present concurrently. Any underlying medical conditions must also be ruled out before behavioural assessment is made.
