It sounds like your cat might be experiencing some discomfort related to her urinary habits. Frequent urination and excessive licking after using the litter box can sometimes indicate a urinary tract issue, even if there is no blood or vocalization of pain. The fact that she is spraying when the litter box is occupied might suggest territorial behavior or stress.

Here are a few things you can do at home:

First, let's talk about litter box management. It's important to ensure that the litter box is clean and easily accessible. If you have multiple cats, it might be helpful to add more litter boxes to reduce competition and stress among them.

Next, consider your cat's hydration. Encouraging her to drink more water can be beneficial. You might try providing fresh water daily or using a pet water fountain, which many cats find more appealing.

Regarding her diet, if she primarily eats dry kibble, you might want to offer some wet food. This can help increase her water intake and support her urinary health.

Keep an eye on her behavior and any changes in her urination patterns. If she starts showing signs of distress, such as straining to urinate or vocalizing, it would be wise to consult a veterinarian.

Lastly, the warmth you feel from her body and ears can be normal, but if she seems unusually warm or lethargic, it might be worth checking her temperature to rule out a fever.

Since she's acting normal otherwise, that's a good sign, but continue to monitor her closely. If her symptoms persist or worsen, a visit to the veterinarian would be beneficial to rule out any underlying issues.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
