Chapter 12 — Pets & Animals
Why is my cat peeing outside the litter box?
Order matters: rule out a UTI or bladder issue first (vet visit). Then check the box — dirty, wrong location, wrong litter, one box for multiple cats. Rule of thumb: one box per cat, plus one.
Follow-up questions
What kind of litter?
Most cats prefer fine, unscented clumping clay. Change to test if issues start.
Punish for accidents?
Never. It creates fear of you and the box. Clean with enzyme cleaner so it doesn't smell like a spot to return to.
