Default WH Stain

Any idea what might have caused this stain? Bradford white WH 2004. At first I thought it was flux or something else from the plumbing above but the area was clean. The substance rubbed off and looked like rust.

I have had personal experience with cats. A small house cat can easily spray at least 6 inches off the ground.

Vince, the only way you'll know for sure - take a sniffer sample.
