Understanding cat litter box issues is one of the top problems cat owners face.
You think your litter box setup is fine, yet your cat is still peeing on the bath mat or worse, on your bed!
In this episode, I share expert pet advice and reveal the six “everybody knows” rules cat parents accidentally break and how small, practical changes in cat care can stop cat anxiety and outside-the-box accidents for good.
You’ll learn why health issues always come first, what “clean” really means to a cat, how litter box size and placement impact success, and when the litter itself might be the problem.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:
• The health-first rule and why medical causes should always be ruled out first
• The cleaning, size, and placement tweaks most cat parents miss
• How to choose litter your cat will actually use, and when it’s time to add another box
These real pet parenting insights will help you manage pet behavior, reduce cat anxiety, minimize your pet parenting struggles, and apply simple hacks that keep your cat happy without breaking your budget.
