Kitten Spray

Question
Hi, I just got a new male kitten last night and he is 6 weeks old. He tried to jump on my lap and now there is a spot on my pajamas and it smells like spray. I am familiar with it already..Did he get scared or is he marking me? Is this possible for 6 week old to spray? thanks :) ~Tarah

Answer
Hi Tarah,

6 week old kittens usually don't spray. But they do have accidents if their genitals are stimulated by accident. Your pjs could have rubbed against him causing the same feeling he used to get when his mom did that when cleaning him. Don't worry about it. He will grow out of that. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
