Fix the litter box problem, not the cat.
A cat going outside the box is information, not defiance - health first, then setup, litter, cleaning and stress. These guides walk the same order veterinarians use, with a free checklist and accident log to spot the pattern. Built from veterinary and cat-welfare sources, no miracle promises.
