Does Your Cat Think Outside the (Litter) Box?

• You changed litters because the new one was on sale.
• You're using a scented litter.
• You're not cleaning the box.
• You're not scooping the box often enough.
• Your cat doesn't like the location of the box.
• You don't have enough boxes.
• The box is too small or has a lid.
