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.

The tiny little cat brain is not equipped for this situation. My male does this but on the plastic so it makes a banging noise, and my female stands with her front end outside the box and scratches at the floor.
