I know they are animals.. but we have a very different quality from the rest of animals.

and as for marking territory goes this is purely mating instinct. the smell keeps other males away from that area. they don't go out and think "well if I pee on this tree no one will bother me" by instinct they pee on random trees in there area or on rivals already scented trees, in order to attract females. so really he is saying "hey Baaaaaby"
