How to Use This Tracker Effectively
Week 1: The Evidence-Gathering Phase
Record every incident immediately with these details:
- Date & Time: Be precise – patterns often emerge around specific times
- Exact Location: “Middle of living room rug” not just “living room”
- Volume: Check the appropriate box for size
- Preceding Events: What happened 1-2 hours before? (e.g., “after visitor left”, “during thunderstorm”, “2 hours after I went to work”)
Pro Tip: Location Matters
Note if incidents occur on soft surfaces (beds, rugs), near windows/doors, or in rooms you frequent. This reveals whether it’s anxiety-driven (your scent = safety) or territorial.
Week 2: The Pattern Analysis Phase
After 7-14 days of consistent logging, look for these patterns:
- Timing Patterns: Only when alone? Consistent times? After specific events?
- Location Clusters: All in one room? Only on soft surfaces? Near exits?
- Behavioral Clues: If seen, note posture: squatting (peeing) vs. standing with tail up (spraying/marking)
