If your cat has decided that she would rather eliminate in another spot instead of her litter box, you may be a bit frustrated with her. Rest assured, your pet isn’t skipping the litter box just to get on your nerves. She probably has a very good reason for avoiding the area, and you will probably be able to figure it out with a bit of investigation. First, check for cleanliness. Cats are picky about this, and you may need to clean it more frequently. The area may be drafty or near something your cat doesn’t prefer, like the noisy washing machine. A simple location change may be all that’s needed in this case. Check it out and see if you can figure out what the issue is. Your local Broken Arrow vet clinic can help address any other concerns you may have. Schedule an appointment today.
