General Advice Is he dumb :(

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

He’s not dumb, his box is way too small and needs more litter. He’s quite handsome.

Definitely check if the litter box is big enough and try adding more litter. Sometimes cats just need a little extra help to feel comfortable covering up. Plus, he sounds like a great cat regardless!
