Cats in the wild use marking as a way to communicate with one another. The actual process of marking can take a few different forms from scratching to spraying. A common marking behavior is spraying. Spray is actually created when the cat mixes a small amount of urine with glandular secretions called pheromones. These are the components that make cat spray have its distinctive and potent odor. Other common marking behaviors are leaving pheromone and/or visual markers through scratching and rubbing against objects. Marking with feces can also occur, although this is seen less frequently.
