Hello! I know there are similar threads out there, and I've read a few of them, but since every cat is different, I thought I'd start my own topic. \/p>
The thing is, my cat (who's nearly a year old) spends an absolute age in her litter tray, usually very early in the morning, scratching away for ages for no apparent reason. She’s perfectly house-trained and has been ever since we adopted her, and I’d say this behaviour has been going on for about a month now. We've tried several different trays: two open ones—one small and one standard size—and then we bought her a hooded one with a flap, but nothing helps. She still spends ages in there, scratching for a long time without always actually doing her business. As an aside, she always ends up kicking litter out of the box (even with the flap on). \/p>
Should I see a vet? What could be causing this? As I said, she’s perfectly house-trained and hasn’t had any accidents since we’ve had her (except for one-off situations like when she was spayed or during certain changes to her environment). \/p>
Thanks so much for any advice you can give. \/p>
Have a lovely day, Clara.\/p>
