al has a pet cat. one day he observes that it is scratching and urinating on tree trunks in his yard. what behavior is al's cat
astra-53 [7]

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.
