Cat Litter Box Challenge Solutions
Hello, Awesome Animal Lovers!
Probably the most difficult situation a cat lover faces is their kitty peeing or pooping around the home instead of in a litter box. There may be appropriate litter boxes available for the cat but for one or more reasons the cat chooses to do their business outside the litter box.
Unfortunately, according to Dr. Elsey a cat veterinarian, these kinds of challenges can lead to misunderstandings that may result in cats being homeless, abandoned or abused.

Sometimes there may be numerous factors causing the cat to have this kind of behavior. You can ask the person questions too to know what they have tried and what the situation is in the home. Sometimes people hear the requests of their cats and follow through with them but just don't give it enough time for the positive results to be seen. We humans often move on to another idea if there isn't an immediate improvement. We can have ideas the litter box is clean enough but it may not be clean enough for the cat. Sometimes cats want to talk about other things including giving advice to their people. Doing their busine
