Al's cat is displaying territoriality by marking his territory by marking territory with urine and scratches.

Territoriality

Territoriality is the defense of the area where an organism lives. The marked area is often regarded as the territory of the animal living there. Al's cat is marking its territory by urinating on the plants and scratching them. Other animals that enter the territory of the cat will be able to know that the territory is not theirs and keep themselves away from the same. If an animal invades the territory of another animal it might get attacked by the animal whose territory it just invaded.

Marking the territory often comes with many perks as the animal is able to lay claim to the food, nest locations, shelter, interactions with mates, etc. The animal is able to monopolize the space in which they live.

Do the properties of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension behave different in salt water vs fresh water

The water has a dipole that causes it to act like a magnet, attracting other water molecules to it. Adhesion is the attractive forces that cause water to "stick" to a surface other than its own. ... The salt water has a much lower cohesion than plain water so it's attractive forces are less than plain water.
