Why is My Cat Not Using The Litter Box? Part 2: Box Setup Issues
When your cat doesn’t use the litter box, they’re trying to tell you something is wrong in their life. Once you’ve taken them to the vet, if the vet determines the reason for the inappropriate elimination is not medical, you can begin the cat behavior detective work.

This is part 2 in a series on litter box issues.
