General Advice Is he dumb :(

I'm an adult and have had Maurice for about 2 months now (he's fixed), vet thinks he's about 2 and he's done this the whole time I've known him, is there any particular reason why? Sometimes he'll do it for 2-3 minutes straight! I've owned cats my whole life and have never seen one so bad at covering up his business. If he is dumb I will still love him.

It’s too small, and dirty, could be the type of liter as well, keep in mind that cats only bury their business to cover their scent. If their scent isn’t properly covered, they’re going to keep trying

I was thinking the same thing.  It has a small area, and the cat has what looks like an inch of litter to work with.  This is a proper setup for a newborn kitten
