What do cats think when we human are cleaning out their litter box? Are they wondering why we are messing with their elimination clumps?
Dear VC
I love your Tuxedo cat and your excellent question.
Cats can be very picky about their litter boxes. They prefer a clean tray, and some, like my tuxedo cat Serafina, will only use a litter box that has been scooped. Cats have sensitive noses, and a dirty box can be off-putting. However, some cats can be possessive about their resources and may return to urinate in the litter box as soon as you scoop the litter to reclaim their territory. This is because cats are territorial creatures.
Have a lovely day.
