Litter Box Issues Philadelphia Veterinary Hospital

Cats are most stereotyped as “the independent pet.” Despite these accusations they are actually very affectionate pets that need attention just as much as dogs. They are however, very particular when it comes to the use of their litter box. Tidiness, placement and even the size of their litter box can all play a factor in deterring them away from using their litter pan. If you notice your Feline Friend not utilizing the litter box for his bathroom needs, this may serve as an indication of something being “wrong” with the litter box or that there is an underlying medical condition.
