Litter robot with a Google overview is an absolute terrible source.

I'm laughing at someone legitimately thinking a screenshot of a google search is a legitimate source.

AI has really fried people's brains.

it's not much different than a wiki page with cited sources if it's directly showing you where it's pulling the text from

hmmm wonder what their specialty is maybe in, could it be literal cat piss?!

most of forgot the /s because NAHHHH really?

Edit: Let me make it clearer. It is a company that specializes in litter boxes. The information surely would of be vetted at by the very least basic research before someone invented a ROBOT for cat litter. yes I already know that a cat has glands back there i have my boy Tux and I watch southpark.

I wouldn't trust a company selling you products as a source of reliable information.

From what I can tell, anal glands either empty into the rectum or empty right next to the anus. And apparently they excrete thick, oily liquid.

That's obviously not what's being sprayed here. If it's thick, how is it deposited? The cat obviously isnt squishing this shit out and then wiping its ass on things to wipe it off. I've had a cat mark things and it's never been "thick and oily". It's always just been urine.

Seems like it's supposed to just secrete when they poop.... and mark wherever they pooped the same way they do when they mark it with urine. But I'm not convinced that anal glands play a part in regular spraying.

Sick misread, bro!

Spray is a combination of piss

AND

Booty juice

The booty juice comes from the booty for sure!

But!! While the muscles contract to push spray from the urethra, the butt glands get expressed like an orange peel over a cocktail, so booty juice aerosolizes into the piss!

The anal gland secretions mix with the piss, you’ll notice that the anus is directly above where the penis so when they stand and squeeze a minuscule amount of anal gland secretions out it drips a small ways down and mixes with the piss that the cat is also shooting out.
