You add something to the cat food, and the cat's desire to eat is reduced;
If you touch the paws and fur on your cat's feet, the cat will lick those spots all the time.
If the litter box is dirty, the cat's performance will be more disgusting.
What do cats do when the litter box is dirty?
- Every time the cat uses the litter box, it becomes longer
Under normal circumstances, cats will generally not use the litter box for more than 30 seconds.

You will find that even though the cat has been buried, it will continue to "pull".
- The litter box is dirty, and the cat will excrete it outside the litter box
This is also an obvious behavior.
The cat will walk around beside the litter box, some cats are more grumpy and will meow and meow while walking around.
At this time, the cat's meow was actually an expression of dissatisfaction with the shit shoveling officer.
"Shoveling, you are too unqualified. Look at how dirty the cat litter box is."
Then, the cat will excrete outside, making the litter box dirty all around.

This is not the case with adult cats.
So, if you find that your cat defecates everywhere for a period of time, the shovel officer should pay attention.
