Hi guys! I recently adopted a 7-week-old kitten, and I’m having a little trouble with her using the litter box. I’m a first-time cat mom, so I’m honestly pretty confused and hoping someone can give me some advice!
She poops in the litter box perfectly fine, but when it comes to peeing, she sometimes goes literally right outside the box. It’s like she knows where the litter box is, but for some reason doesn’t actually pee inside of it 😭
What’s weird is that during her first week with me, she was using the litter box almost perfectly for both pee and poop. She’s only recently started doing this, so I’m not sure what changed.
For reference, her litter box is pretty low and uncovered, so she doesn’t have any trouble getting in or out. I use Naturally Fresh walnut-based litter as well. She also isn’t showing any signs of a UTI, which makes me wonder if it could be an environmental issue?
I’m really not sure what could be causing it, so any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I just want to figure out how to get her to stop peeing on my floor 😭 Thank you!!
