Hi -- My wife and I own a very rambunctious and socially needy six-year-old male cat. We adopted him a couple of years ago as an adult cat. He's always been very tidy and has never sprayed, urinated, or pooped outside of his litter box. Overall no concerns of this kind, ever.
However, this evening he sprayed our bookshelf in the living room, right in front of us. We were shocked. Totally random! First time that we know of.
I should note a few things:
Anyway, if anyone has similar experiences with their kitties, post away. Thank you!

I should note a few things:
- my wife is four months pregnant.
- we both work from home in a small apartment.
- my wife was not feeling well all day today, so she spent the entire day in bed when normally she is up and working.
- the cat is REALLY needy for attention and playtime, and to be honest, it's to a point at which we have trouble always satiating his social needs.
- the cat is obsessed with his litter box. It's a covered box with a shelter top, and he'll go in there to scratch the walls for minutes at a time. We're a little concerned about that because it's such an anxious behavior.
Anyway, if anyone has similar experiences with their kitties, post away. Thank you!
