Thread: Is this for attention?

Even though it looks like he stopped pooing all over the place, the peeing outside of the litter tray still is a reason to have him checked by the vet. Could be a bladder problem, like our poor El Monto had a few weeks ago.
If I were you I wouldn't delay that trip to the vet... just to be on the safe side. Good luck to you and poor Dodge.

BTW: I'm not keen on the wood pellets for the very same reason you mention yourself. They don't absorb, so the kitties have to step into each others' yucky wet patches. I think the clumping bentonite grains are so much more comfortable and dignified for them.
