Answer:

All of the above are possible proximate causes of the behavior

Explanation:

During the heat cycle, cats have several behaviors and signs such as spraying urine, rolling on the floor and scratching at doors begging to go outside. When a female cat is in heat, she is likely to urine more frequently and even spray urine on objects, <u>to let any nearby male cats know that she is ready to be mated with</u>. The urine contains pheromones and hormones, signals of her reproductive status to other male cats.

In the wild, females cats pee on trees or objects <u>to find a male cat to mate with</u>. This is why one might infer that <u>female cats did this in the past </u>and the domestic cats inherited this behavior.
