DOES YOUR CAT POTTY OUTSIDE THE LITTER BOX?
If so, you are not alone. Several years ago, concerned that so many people got rid of their cats over inappropriate pottying issues, I wrote my first ever veterinary newspaper article on the topic.

Here's a good example of a covered litter box. Just kidding, this is just funny, on several levels.
It's very important to keep the litter box clean. This means scooping at least once daily, and dumping the litter, cleaning the box, and putting in fresh litter once a week.
