What is
the cat to litter box ratio?
As a general rule of thumb, it is good to have one litter box per 1-2
cats, and clean the litter boxes at least once daily.
Has there
been anything or anyone new in your house?
Changes such as house guests, a new baby, remodeling, or a new pet can
stress your cat. In some cats, this is obvious - hiding or skittish behavior.
In other cats, they may not appear outwardly stressed, but may void urine
out of the box to show their disapproval -- for example, urinating on
your house guest's shoes. Stress and not voiding as often as usual can
also lead to a bladder infection.
Feline urinary behavior and medical problems are complex topics. Contact your veterinarian if any changes in litter box habits are noted.
