Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / March 2006What Is With Cat's LitterBox Obsession?
Our male cat suddenly is obsessed with the litter box. OBSESSED, for real. He is in there almost all the time, squatting, digging, whatever. Practically all the time. Sorry, but I'm a "do your business and get out of there" owner, after all that's what our female cat does. She goes in there when she needs to, buries is, done. And he was that way, but suddenly he's possessed. It's become so annoying I've taken to removing the litter box altogether, except for brief moments. What is with this cat acting this way?

Trying to get a rise out of the sappy cat people again, eh Larry? :) Please take him to a vet. He may have a blockage or urinary tract infection. -- Barb Of course I don't look busy, I did it right the first time. >Our male cat suddenly is obsessed with the litter box.

He needs to be taken to vet and urine tested as he most likely has a urinary tract infection. An untreated UTI in a male will eventually turn into a blockage from the build-up of struvite crystals blocking his urethra, which will be an emergency situation resulting in great pain and/or death. Anna YES. Take him to a vet ASAP. Gail >>Our male cat suddenly is obsessed with the litter box. OBSESSED, for real. >>He is in there almost all the time, squatting, digging, whatever.
