Bad cat! Or sick cat?

Contrary to popular opinion, cats don’t pee and poop outside their boxes to spite their owners. (Cats really aren’t jerks!) There’s typically either an environmental reason (dirty litter boxes, too few boxes, recently adopted and stress of “getting settled in,” etc.) or a medical cause (bladder inflammation, urinary tract infection, arthritis, etc.). Rather than writing your cat off as a “bad cat,” think outside the box, and if the problem continues, bring your kitty to your vet. The sooner you do, the happier your kitty will be 
 and the less frustrated you’ll feel. Win-win!
