Your indoor cat needs a litter box and it can provide a number of clues that can help you evaluate your cat’s health. Watch for excessive urination that can indicate an issue with diabetes or kidney disease. You can tell if your cat is constipated if you see small stools that are very firm. Diarrhea is also easy to see and smell. The color of the stool can help identify which organ your cat is having trouble with or if there is any blood present. In addition to what is in the litter box giving you clues, what is not there is also a good indicator. If your cat is not using the litter box could indicate she is not feeling well and going somewhere less appropriate or she may not be going at all and needs medication attention.
