7 Best Pieces of Litter Box Advice From a Professional Cat Behavior Consultant

Whether your cat won't use it, is peeing next to it, peeing around the house, or displaying other unusual behavior regarding their "business," this is your comprehensive guide to ensuring you have optimized their litter box set-up.

Prolonged Problems 

Cats can be picky, so if you haven't set up their litter box correctly, it can cause ongoing issues. 

1. Take Your Cat to the Vet 

A cat parent verified the importance of taking your cat to the vet even when you disbelieve there's anything wrong medically. 

2. Improve the Location of Your Cats Litter Box 

Laura says cat owners often neglect to realize how much location matters to cats. After all, if YOUR bathroom was located in the dark corner of a basement, as she puts it, would you want to use it? 

3. Spread Out Multiple Litter Boxes 

How many boxes do you have? According to Laura, you must have one box per cat, plus at least one extra.  

4. Deep Clean Them, Often 

You must scoop away the cat business from the litter box once daily and replace the soiled litter with fresh litter.  

5. Get the Right Type of Litter 

Laura also discusses how cats care about what litter you put in their box. Unscented clumping clay, she says, is what most prefer.
