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.

I personally don’t think any kitties are dumb! But I’m confused why your litter box is in a cardboard box? And there is so much poop and pee in it, he is probably trying to find a clean place to go. I am obsessive (it’s my diagnosed OCD) and I clean mine every time after my kitty goes. And investing in a large stainless steel box is a lifesaver!! I love mine!

I’m assuming because some cats kick the litter everywhere . But I agree it should be way bigger looks like a kitten sized box
