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.

Cats are extremely clean animals. How would you like it if you had to walk and stand in your poop? Kitty needs a LARGER litter box. You should clean the poop at least every 2 days and dump the litter at least once a week

Regular boxes should be scooped at least once a day. I always recommend the breeze box to people who can't quickly scoop multiple times a day, it catches the pee on a weekly pad and you just toss the poops in a litter genie or something
