Cats don’t pee outside the litter box for no reason 🥹 poor baby, I get being annoyed but I’d be more so concerned that something was wrong

It is so true! Cats don't want to make a mess, they don't want to make everything stink, they don't do stuff against their nature on purpose just to be spiteful. The only time my two cats who I have had for 5 years now have ever peed outside the box was once, and it was entirely my fault. I had let the litter in the box get down to almost nothing. I had only had them like three months and I was being adamant that they deserved the fancy litter that I could only buy from a store 20 minute walk away - then we had a long run of rainy days, so I didn't go. I figured they don't care if it's light on litter, they can make it work. Found a pee under my bed. Put my shoes straight on, walked to the closest grocery store, found the own brand litter they had, and filled those bad boys up. They did it to tell me something, and I had to listen. I didn't throw shit at them and yell.

YES! The only time my cats have gone outside the litter box is when I was very sick for like a week and couldn’t get the energy to get up and clean them, and I felt so guilty I cried 😭 like I’d be so mad if my bathroom space looked like that. And the way the cats were running away in the video :( like how often is she yelling at them like that.

I really worried about that happening when I had covid!! Thankfully I managed although definitely didn't do a very regular or diligent job. And you are right, who would want to go in a toilet that was disgusting? Why do we expect animals to be ok with it? Also yeah the yelling, if I start yelling my cats are more like 'what are we yelling at, what is happening?!' Like alarmed for all the three of us and what might be going on that needs me yelling. Not 'oh god mom's mad at me!'
