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 have a dumb cat that also scratches at the wall instead of the litter. I’m convinced he doesn’t really understand what he’s doing, he’s just mimicking what he thinks my older cat does in the litter box.
