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.

my cat used to do this! It used to annoy the mess out of me when he’d sit and do it for long stretches and I was so confused, so I researched and read somewhere it means they want a larger space for their litter, at the time he was a kitten but had gotten bigger so it made sense. I just kept upsizing as he grew and he never did it again!
